Are you enjoying Marvel Champions and wondering what’s next? Well listen up true believer because we can confirm The Green Goblin Scenario Pack, Captain America Hero Pack, and Ms. Marvel Hero Pack will all be released together in January! Which pack are you most excited about?

Woah, interesting. That's one way to adapt to delays. I like it.

to be honest I don't think I will have exploited all the possibilities of the core set in January so..not really in a rush for more.

Yeeees I want heroes much more than I want a new villain (while he’s still welcome), so this is great news! 😁

Speaking only for myself here, but that's not how getting drunk on card games works. 😂

This is awesome - I was getting a little sad we weren’t going to see Wrecking Crew until like April, so I’m glad they’re catching up in January. I’m still enjoying the core set, but I’m hungry for some more content!

2 new heroes, extra aspect cards and 2 new scenarios with 4 extra modular encounter sets will definitely keep the post Christmas blues away!

See, I want a new scenario more, since the hero packs won't really matter until we have all four. That scenario will add big impact, especially since the core ones are kinda boring.

I was a little bummed about them missing a December release for the first expansion, but three releasing in January turned that feeling around in a hurry. Can't wait to try out Cap v Goblin!

I will 100% enjoy having a new scenario—two, actually, and like four modular sets?? That’s insanely cool.

But I don’t see why you feel like we need all four new heroes for them to matter? Sure two aspects get a bigger card pool sooner, but both Hero packs will also have a card for the other aspects.

Plus, just. New heroes! Heroes are great!

Wow that's exciting to kick start the game. I am reaching saturation with the core set, but will be busy over the holidays anyway so it will be nice to have this drop at the beginning of the year.

I think this makes sense if they had planned these all to release 1 a month since the original core set release date and we've been delayed this far. They probably want to flush the backlog rather than artificially hold them off to keep a 1 a month schedule going forward. This logistics problem has always been the struggle with maintaining the dream of the 1 a month pack for LCGs.
