i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.

after i got through spending all my money on overpower cards, i was left with a giant box of worthless pictures of all my “favorite” superheroes.  unlike comic books, trading cards usually offer little literary value, so if that cardboard pic of psylocke doesn’t somehow increase in value, and you no longer play the game, congratulations: you’ve just added to a landfill! or most likely, your mom will add to that landfill when you go to college.

now get all the fun of a trading card game you’ll get bored of in a year, the expense of a coke habit, and the unstorableness of hundreds of little, unbendable figurines.  it’s heroclix!  yay!  here’s how you play:

1. spend all your money.

2. try to decipher the complex rule system.

3. play the game for a year and then give them all to your friend who still plays, but who will eventually throw them out.

–or–

3. throw them out immediately after you buy them.

all your favorite marvel, dc and horror movie characters are ready for you to not enjoy in a whole new way. heroclix, you’ve been ironywatched.
