DC comics Super-Villains sheds some light into the dark world of super-villains. Everybody loves a hero and every fan has their favorite caped-crusader and costumed wonder. What do all of these heroes have in common? They all have a an arch emery, or several if you are really good. Where would our heroes be without the villains? I mean what is light without darkness to compare it to? DC Comics Super-Villains answers these questions and proves that sometimes it is good to be bad!

Information for Cryptozoic:

***************************************************************

For as much as everyone has their favorite hero, they also have their favorite, or at least most memorable, villain. Cryptozoic DC Comics Super-Villains. For as much as a 'fan-boy' that I consider myself, I must admit that I did not recognize all of the forces of darkness in this set, even with many characters having appeared in TV series lately. I always love pulling a compete set in a single box! Although there are a lot of inserts included, the collation was perfect and I was able to complete all of the sub-sets. The silver and gold parallels will be a fun chase. The 1/1 sketch card is really sharp. The scan does not due the vibrant coloring justice. Printing plates are nothing new to the hobby, but I have never seen a 1/1 printing plate with this much detail! Cryptozoic DC Comics Super-Villains will appeal to set collectors, comic book fiends and fan-boys everywhere!

OMG! Those are SWEET! I haven't even heard of these yet. :) Was there any doubles? I just recently got into comics (started the 2000 Harley Quinn and 1980 The New Teen Titans).

Tim, if any of these are available (and Im guessing not :( ), I need the Quinn, Ivy, Catwoman Sirens, and anything else Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, , and any cheap stuff of deathstroke and The Joker you got. I have no idea on this set so lmk what you would need on them if you are willing to part with some. Im VERY interested in getting anything Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy, I may just have to get a box myself when I can afford it, LOL!

Wow!!! These are too good to be true. :woot::woot: Are these available online? I have a friend who is a huge fan of DC characters. I would let him take a look at these treasures. For sure his eyes will drool..
 
Wow. Although Im a huge fan of Marvel Comics. This struck my attention. This supper-villains are amazing, my nephew would love to buy this one. And thank you for the complete info on your description. I loved it! More DC this year I think.
 
That's nice! I just feel that I need to collect DC, and Marvel collectible cards as well. Those you got there are really nice. I really hope I could get my hands on some like the crime syndicate set you have. I am gonna do my research on this and hopefully I could buy it online in my country cause of cheap shipping.
