I've been griping about the lack of faction releases for a while now, so I think that it's totally and completely appropriate to celebrate two months of solid releases for factions I actually do play. These last two months have been good to me (and to many others!), with the release of a Sidekick for Poison Ivy and the Bane henchmen that so many people have started calling for.
A lot of bands were missing Sidekick and Henchmen options, and the last two months have made a Poison Ivy's band, and he also allows you to play something other than the Sirens - just in case you wanted to avoid Harley and Catwoman, for whatever reason! Variety is always good, though, and that's exactly why I'm excited about the latest months of releases. Swamp Thing helps fill up some points in Ivy bands, letting you play with different combinations of plants and Free Agents for larger games. He can also lead the band of plants, if you were so inclined to have a crazy Swamp Thing themed list.
As a Bane player, I'm also super-happy about the release of the two new mercenaries. Bane's crew, along with a few other bands (Ivy, Black Mask) has the smallest selection, so any addition is a welcome one. I love Mohawk because I've been jealous of Combo models as long as I can remember, and Ted Hunter's Shotgun brings a bit of run-and-gun power without having to spend a tonne of rep and cash on someone like Deadshot.
There have been a lot of other cool releases over the past few months. What were your favourites?
