    Awesome, this should be run every three months. We need more Howard.

    Anyone remember how big the Webbed Wonder vault was and how many Howard covers were in it?
    It's think it was a standard 80 item vault with one Howard cover.

    My 3/5/4 Howard will be happy. And championed. Probably.

    Edit: Actually what do you mean by "Earn Howard" in Venom Bomb. Will he be T100 placement or the standard T10?
    EDIT: Howard's event will be treated like a new release event, so he will be given out to the top 100 people per leaderboard.

    Sorry for the confusion everyone![/quote]

    Oh goody...so I can get one more cover for him again...

    Howard's harder to get than Devil Dino...

    [Nexus Edit]: I understand that he'll be given out as top 100 placement but...that was my point. Top 20 will get two covers. 21-100 wil get one.
    So that was my point. I'll get ONE cover since he's being treated like a new release. See my mildly ranty topic if you want details =)

    The First time around there was a special one off opportunity to win Howard via Deadpools Daily Quest.
    I think his opponent was 4* Punisher.

    Can this opportunity be made available again ?

    Why even run a Duck "season" without the Duck PVE to break up the regular PVE routine?

    Oh, and having the guranteed duck node in it doesn't hurt things....

    Also, like others have mentioned, why not also have a Duck Clash while it's running?

    Erm, "Webbed Wonder" is Howard's special PVE, that's how's it called.

    I'd be happy to earn some more covers for my 1/1/1 Howard since he's been sitting my roster gathering dust. However, I'm afraid it will probably be only one or two max, just like previous seasons. Meh, have to take what I can get, I guess.

    He'll be the 4* essential for Webbed Wonder, so (presumably) players at a high enough SCL can earn him thorough progression too.

    Only thing I'm hating about this is that venom bomb will essentially be another new release event. And assuming we have another 4 star on schduele, that will be back to back to back weeks of new releases.

    I do like his PvE. To be honest I like any PvE with wave nodes as they rain tokens. My Howard is 2/1/2 so covers won't hurt there either.

    He's a meh character, but this will be the first PvE cycle where I have 3 championed boosted 4*, which should be fun.

    I suspect the next release will be another fivestar/threestar combo release. Possibly Baron Mordo through Strange Sights.

    Is there any chance he will be added to legendary tokens only during these events?

    I assume we'll get Mordo through Strange Sights, but fairly certain he's a 4*. With his accidental spoiler drop in Nefarious Foes, I think he was listed among the 4* characters, not at the top with the 5*s. I could be misremembering, I can't find the image this second.

    I hope there's a relatively easy way to get all three of Howard's covers. I'll be sad if I end up winning a bunch of Howard purples only and then have to throw most of them away. I really hope that I can champion him this time! I have him at 11 covers.. I'm so close!!!

    Also I agree that this one time, it would be nice to give covers to top 250 players and alliances. Looks like instead, we'll have to hit at least 1.5 progression and go nutz to even hope for the smallest chance of winning one.

    Well, hopefully because it's VB, people won't try as hard.. ?

    So, my useless 1/1/2 will be a useless 2/2/3. Woohoo?

    I resemble that remark, lol. Maybe by the end of 2017 we'll both have him covered!

    My Howard is level 168 3/3/2, here's hoping I get him champed or at least fully covered! SWEET!
