CARLSBAD, Calif. – October 14, 2005 — Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) invites comic and gaming enthusiasts to join the Justice League of America’s (JLA) fight against the machinations of the Injustice Gang as UDE hosts one of the biggest Sneak Preview Events of the year.  On Saturday and Sunday, October 29 & 30, UDE will host JLA Sneak Preview Tournaments across North America, which offers new and veteran players an advanced look at the new card set featuring the World’s Greatest Superhero Team before it release in November.   

The new JLA set powers up the industry’s top-rated trading card game system with the Magnificent Seven (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter), in addition to Justice League International (Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel), the Injustice Gang (Lex Luthor, The Joker), and the Secret Society of Super-Villains (Darkseid, Gorilla Grodd).   

JLA’s packaging will showcase original artwork by legendary comic artist Alex Ross, and Ross’ extraordinary art rendition of the most powerful DC Comic Super Heroes of all time. 

Each participant in a Sneak Preview Sealed Pack event will receive five Justice League of America boosters and will then use those cards to construct a 30-card deck to play in the tournament. All participants will receive two foil Extended Art Promo cards just for showing up, and top finishers of each event will receive brand new Vs. System play mats and deck boxes.

The DC Comics TCG incorporates the new Vs. SystemÔ -- UDE’s game engine that represents epic Super HeroÔ battles in a TCG format.  In Vs. System games, each player begins the game with his or her own team of DC Super HeroesÔ or DC Super VillainsÔ, and then tries to knock out all of his or her opponents. The game is specially designed to be played at every level of competition, from casual games to professional-level tournaments, and can be played in a variety of different formats with any number of players.
