C-23, also known as Jim Lee's C-23, is an out-of-print collectible card game published by Wizards of the Coast and based on a comic book by Jim Lee, which was new at the time. It was first released in April 1998 with an original set of 162 cards, and it was the first game released using the ARC System. That system is a simplified Deckmaster system with four card types: Resource, Character, Combat and Action, and it allowed C-23 to be played together with Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Players take the part of HyperShock troopers trying to reclaim the surface of the Earth from humanoid insects called the Angelans. The game failed, Jim Lee soon left the self-publishing business, and the planned expansion set called Uprising never appeared. The Duelist magazine covered it in April and May 1998.
