Sounds cool.  When can we expect more specifics (how the boss event will work, aka is it Civil War meets Boss Rush, details on the new characters, event rewards, etc.)

I interpreted it as 2 boss events. 1 with one set of 3 members of Sinister Six on first date. 1 with other 3 on second date.

Man, I hope that's the case. If so, does it mean we'll be getting Mysterio, Electro, and Kraven as playable characters? Probably not, but I'd love it.

It sounds like a straight Civil War event to me, rather than a Civil Rush hybrid event. My guess is the first run will be versus Boss versions of Goblin and Doc Oct, and the second run will replace one of them with Vulture. I persinally doubt we're getting a second 5piderman. We may have to Venoms in the 4* zone, but that seems like a very different case, since the host is different in this case.

If it is like I think, and Vulture is a Boss/replacement Boss, then he's very likely a 3/5 to maintain the tradition of 5*s getting Boss versions. I don't remember any of the Bosses from Boss Rush being lower than 5* characters.

If they expect us to go through an alliance event to recruit Spider-Man, it greatly improves my hope that Old Spidey is finally getting the much desired rework the community has been asking for. What, then, can we expect to earn from rounds 5, 6, and 7? Miles and Spider Gwen maybe? Spider Woman and... and, uh... they wouldn't make it Agent Venom again, would they? I guess the second run doesn't have to be directly related.

Well, more news later. Now just waiting for the Sneak Peek update.

@broll Unfortunately I don't have any additional information, aside from what the article mentions, nor do I know what the time-frame is for any updates. Once I hear of any news, I'll be sure to pass that along to the community though! 

@zodiac339 I just finished updating the Sneak Peek a few minutes ago

mkmagius

The article mentions pvp featuring Vulture. That would mean 4*. Unless they just skip 5* release then Spidey would be 5*. I'm not terribly excited about this since my only 5* is BSSM. Unless the unlikely chance I could run both together.

@Brigby When the article states that we can recruit Spiderman starting July 6th, is that a new Spidey?  

Brigby

@pheregas
Yup! Not only will players get a new Spider-Man, but also Vulture, as upcoming additions to the MPQ family of characters.

@Brigby Yeah, while I was doing all that typing. Medusa versus ninjas. I'm happy.

Hmm, maybe we're looking at Spider Man 2099 then as a 5*? I'm just really hoping to not have 2 Peter Parkers in the same tier. With the rarity of 5*s, it just feels hurtful to not be able to use any 2 of them together.

I personally am expecting homecoming spiderman as a 4* I don't believe we have a peter parker at 4* level.

The lack of a new PVP featuring a Spider Man decreases the likelihood of a new 4* Spidey. It may just not have been mentioned of course.

Hmm, a five with first recruitment in a CW style event? Any chance of this being like the original CW run and actually giving a guaranteed 5* cover for round 8 instead of a token? Hope springs eternal?

EDIT: Looking forward to the next patch preview hint.

Spidey probably a 5*...

Probably not. We got lucky with Civil War the first time around, where both Cap and IM were available. Next run I believe had tokens for them instead (the special 5* tokens with a 10% chance of that one 5* character). They've run Civil War for release for Widow and Panther, I believe, both with their special tokens. Odds are it would be something like that.

Though, to be fair, Spidey is the big time. If any character would go BACK to the more generous "actually get a 5* from progression during a boss event" style, it would be Spidey. But I expect it'll be a special "Homecoming" purple token.

I assume the Sinister Six will be Green Goblin, Carnage, Venom, Doc Ock, Sandman, and Vulture.

They could do a 5/3 Vulture release with the 3* Vulture Pvp, 4* Peter Parker without pvp event

Ah, you may well be right - though I think Goblin and Carnage's alumni status is questionable. According to Wikipedia, Carnage was a member of the Sinister Sixty-Six, a version of the Sinister Six that appeared in the  Spider-Man musical, and the Sinister Sextet of Earth-311. Goblin was in Sinister Twelve, Sinister Sixty-Six, a zombie version of Sinister Six, a version from Earth-803, The Ultimate Six, an animated series, and was teased as a member in the movie Amazing Spider-Man 2 (perhaps his strongest claim MPQ wise - though it wasn't an MCU film).

And the MPQ Sinister Six will have its own unique roster so none of that matters. (I don't mean for that to be rude, just pointing out the practical applications; if the "Sinister Six" is a team-up of six Spidey villains, it makes sense to use the Spidey villains available, rather than trying to push for a roster that completely matches one of the comic versions of the team; it's easier to throw Goblin/Venom/Carnage on the team than to try to release Kraven/Mysterio/Electro or others)

I know people WANT Kraven/Mysterio/Electro (I'd kill for a good Mysterio, he just seems like he'd be perfect for some interesting game mechanics), but throwing together what we have means we can have a Sinister Six event now, with the movie, instead of sometime next year (because if they kept releasing Spidey villains to fill out the team, people would riot).

Doc Ock, Eddie Brock, Carnage, Green Goblin and Sandman all have Sinister Six affiliation in their bio now

Haven't we all been clamoring for a bunch more villains, and new non-variant characters? No? Ok. 4* Bullseye (Colin Farrell). You're welcome.

And besides, I can just see the discontent rising every month that there still aren't six "sinister six" characters.

Felonius

Well, I guess it's nice to have confirmation that there's going to be a SM:H tie-in (but we all pretty much figured there would be, anyway).  I look forward to more (useful) details like: Spidey and Vulture characters' info, how the new event will work, etc.
