If you follow Brick Heroes facebook page, you have already been able to discover the visuals below. These are variant covers (different covers for the same magazine or comic issue) of Marvel comics revisited in LEGO sauce to celebrate the upcoming launch of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game.

On the menu, Marvel Universe Avengers Assemble # 1 (Falcon !! ...), Wolverine & The X-Men # 36, All-New X-Men # 17, Amazing Spider-Man # 546 and Nova # 6.

You'll have to get used to it, with the San Diego Comic Con opening its doors next week and the hundred or so characters announced, the LEGO Super Heroes video game will be talked about a lot.

I am not looking forward to this game as much as the possible minifigs of the characters that LEGO will deign to market. Whatever technical innovations the game will benefit from, we can already predict that it will be about beating baddies / collecting coins / opening doors / turning cranks / building bridges / solving simplistic puzzles, etc. All the usual ingredients which make the success of these games but which I nevertheless got a little bored with the different versions released in recent years. Destroying everything with the Hulk or making Iron Man fly won't be enough to stand in front of my console for very long this fall, but I will.

It is via the official LEGO blog from the section dedicated to video games we learn that Victor Creed alias Sabretooth (The other mutant with claws brilliantly embodied by Liev Schreiber in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and also present in the first installment of the X-Men saga under traits of Tyler Mane) will be one of the countless playable characters (in free play) of the game. The mutant, whose only image available is the visual above, will be one of the villains to beat in the last level of the game. 

Granted, this isn't the scoop of the century or the most essential character on our minifig displays, but it's a good start.

The pace of announcing the various playable characters is expected to pick up next week at the Marvel panel at San Diego Comic Con where the game will take pride of place.

For lack of anything better at the moment, here is the final design of the cover of the highly anticipated video game LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Part of the Avengers tribe (Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Black Widow), Wolverine, Spider-Man, The Silver Surfer as well as three of the Fantastic 4 team members (The Thing, Human Torch and Mr Fantastic ) are present on this visual.

To be honest, I have a bad feeling about the exclusive minifigs for the next two Comic Con (San Diego and New York) ...

The game is currently on preorder from amazon (Click here) with a release date in France set for November 20, 2013.

The variant covers (Different covers for the same magazine or comic number) are not new, in the USA the technique is commonly used and it is more and more used in France with certain magazines such as Studio Ciné Live or comics published by Panini.

In September 2013, LEGO and Marvel Comics will celebrate the launch of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game with great support from variant covers for select titles with bulk: All-New X-Men # 17, Avengers # 21, Captain America # 12, Daredevil # 31, Fantastic Four # 13, Guardians Of The Galaxy # 7, Marvel Universe # 1, Mighty Avengers # 1 , etc., etc...

While the initiative is laudable and will appeal to American fans, the first thought that came to my mind is that LEGO does a lot of things with the Marvel license, but not necessarily plastic ...

Since the signing of the agreement between the giant of the toy and that of the comic, we must be satisfied with a few minifigs of Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine and a few others where the video game will integrate a good hundred characters and where fans of paper comics will also be able to feast on many characters drawn by great illustrators such as Leo Castellani, Christopher Jones and Adam DeKraker.

It is high time that LEGO decided to step up the pace of the release of Marvel minifigs by broadening its sources of inspiration ...

In short, rather than rambling on, I'll let you admire the three examples of variant covers with LEGO sauce among those that will be offered next September.

Images, more images, with these two videos presented at E3 to promote the fall launch of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game (Released in fall 2013).

Beyond the game itself, I am especially interested, like most of you, in what LEGO will soon market in terms of superhero minifigs ...

The game incorporating a good hundred characters, the frustration will only be greater if LEGO does not offer us some in ABS plastic.

On the other hand, I have played LEGO video games so much that I have a certain weariness just at the thought of spending my time collecting coins, turning cranks, etc ... but I will play all the same to this one to discover everything that TT Games has put in it, secretly hoping that LEGO will allow me to add these characters to my collection ...
