Bricks Issue 10 – Calling all heroes

The time has come to stand and be counted as superheroes battle their arch rivals in the latest edition of Bricks. Issue 10 explores the great rivalries between our favourite heroes and villains from the ever-expanding universes of Marvel and DC Comics, both popular licenses in the LEGO world that have spawned some of the greatest minifigures to date.

The journey begins in the 1960s, deep underground into the newly released retro Batcave set. Inspired by the Adam West era, this giant set is packed with all of our favourite characters and a beautiful Batmobile. This is the latest big exclusive LEGO release and despite some criticism from the online community, we’re confident it will prove to be a big hit.

Next stop is Arkham Asylum as we look at the amazing work of Louis Blackwell, a man who is as talented with a pen as he is with the brick as you will see from his one-off exclusive Bricks superhero piece.
