New company Lazarus Rising Games has announced plans to revive the 90s TCG OverPower, and has acquired Top Cow and Edgar Rice Burroughs licenses as its initial IPs.
LRG has acquired the rights to the OverPower Card Game, originally published by Fleer and eventually taken over by Fleer parent company Marvel (see "Marvel Returns to CCGs"), and plans to produce a new game with characters from the Top Cow and ERB licenses. Those characters include Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars from Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and Witchblade, The Darkness, and Cyberforce from Top Cow Productions, Inc. Top Cow characters were included in an Image Comics OverPower set produced in the 90s; the ERB characters will be new to the game.
The game rules for the new version are "…an inclusive, creative set of rules for smooth, exciting gameplay," the company said in its announcement.
Among the artists creating cards for OverPower are Philip Tan, Jim Cheung, and David Nakayama.
Cartamundi will print the game for LRG, with the first core set rolling out in early 2025, and expansions planned for Q4 2025.
