Boom. Topps claims to be seeking a new company to make the WK properties, and that they'll continue various promo support for now, but things look bad.
There's a discussion on it on the Heroclix lj community; there seems to be a lot of hatred for Wizards of the Coast, and the idea they might pick it up seems to be anathema.
But then, who else would? Someone suggested McFarlane Toys - theoretically, yeah, but a) McFarlane refused to allow them to make an Indy HC of Spawn since they wouldn't go with his ideas of poseability and cloth capes, etc; b) DC and Marvel wouldn't let him near their licenses.
Funnily, I had no idea Horrorclix had been cancelled until this news broke; but as far as I'm aware, I'm the only person who ever buys anything from it here - and I can't even get any of my close friends to play using my stuff, let alone find another player..
