If you're a Marvel Zombies fan looking to give your game a visual and tactical upgrade, the Artist’s Special Edition Set is the kind of collector's item that truly makes a difference. This expansion, originally a Kickstarter exclusive, is far more than just 'more minis on the table.' It introduces six iconic super-heroes with a completely fresh look, based on the stunning artwork of Marco Checchetto. You know that specific comic book style that adds so much personality to the page? That's exactly what you get here.
But don't be fooled into thinking it's purely cosmetic. The highlight here is that the team didn't just change the characters' appearance; they reworked the game mechanics so that the abilities reflect the essence of these heroes as they appear in the issues illustrated by Checchetto. This means the way you play these characters changes, bringing new strategies and dynamics to your cooperative matches. You'll have characters who behave differently from the standard roster, forcing the group to rethink their survival tactics against the undead horde.
For Zombicide enthusiasts, this expansion adds a layer of depth and artistic fidelity that transforms the gaming table into a living comic book page. It's the perfect blend of zombie apocalypse chaos and the sophisticated visual style of one of Marvel's most sought-after artists. If you already own the base game and want to expand your roster with characters that are visually striking and mechanically refreshed, this set is the way to go. Grab your dice, gather your friends, and see how these new heroes face the end of the world with much more style.

Can I play this set on its own?
No, this set is an expansion. You absolutely need the Marvel Zombies base game to use these characters.
Are the miniatures just visual or do they change the gameplay?
Both! Besides the stunning Marco Checchetto art, the mechanics have been reworked to match the comic book versions of the characters.
How many new characters are included in the set?
The set features 6 super-heroes with exclusive looks and abilities.
Is it a hard game to learn?
If you're already familiar with the Zombicide line, the learning curve is minimal, as it follows the same logic, just with new abilities to manage.
Where can I find this set since it was a Kickstarter exclusive?
Since it's an exclusive, you'll likely need to look into second-hand markets or board game trading groups.
