Did anyone else notice that the mystery event that takes place in a little under 10 days now has a new graphic? The spiral galaxy has been replaced with a solar system with a single sun and what looks like 8 planets... And a giant looking metal asteroid that looks like it's heading our way!

    It's Galactus slowly approaching to come eat our worlds! Each planet is a PVE with a boss battle where you team-up with SS to stop him!

    It's a Vogon construction fleet. The Anniversary event is a Hitchhiker's Guide crossover. With Ford Prefect as the new 5 star...obviously.

    This is the anniversary lies thread, right?
  • Maybe it's a DC crossover, and Doomsday is coming to kill Sentry.

    I was about to post to say this too... Really liking the hype they are building up for this, even if the event is average, it's making me look forward to that week even more so.

    I'm dreading the lineup at Uranus. icon_twisted.gif

    Yeah and those bright unidentifiable spots on Ceres are really just the reflection of the sun off of Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet.

    None of the dwarf planets get any love, do they?
  • Hard to tell from the tiny thumbnail but it sort of looks like a Skrull battleship.

    Skrull as a new 1* character? Kewl.

    With the last 2 FF characters being quickly added, and then Silver Surfer, it really does seem like Galactus is the best option.
    And we're watching him slowly approach.

    Pluto has officially been reclassified as an "appetizer".

    Super Skrull would be a great 4* since we just got Mr. Fantastic as the last member of the FF.

    I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of any Skrulls, battleships or otherwise.

    It feels like superskrull would need at minimum 4 attacks to work in this game.

    I guess vision technically has more then 3, but we saw what happened there.

    I did not want to spoil anything but I cannot hold it in any longer.. The ship is actually the Shi'ar Empire for a 5* Phoenix PVE!

    Press the spoil button for more detail!

    Super Skrull as the newest 4* (at minimum) is something I can wholeheartedly support.

    Really hope they don't make SS an essential for any part of it.

    That would be mean.

    Don't forget your towel, everyone.
  • Would happily embrace Super Skrull as a playable, but there's potential to use him as an unplayable enemy with substitutable moves to create some challenging and variable PvE nodes.
