    It's Rogue.... I'm still waiting for her "Crash of the Titans". It got skipped for some reason(s). It looks like I've to move to SCL 7 in the next PvE to get her cover. 

    For 5* Spidey fans, his red cover should be in HfH soon.

    At the time Rogue should have been in Crash (mid January) she had only been a reward in one PVE. They've gotten better getting newer four stars as rewards in PVE, but that means folks like Vulture, Nightcrawler and Rogue won't be in Crash until the next cycle starts in August.

    Oh good. Venom Bomb is an event where Squirrel Girl can shine, boosting her purple damage with stupid symbiote special tile spam.

    @Brigby  I dunno if this is a typo but it made me laugh.  

    Placement Rewards: 
    4-Star: Nicky Fury - Yellow, Purple

    and it carries through the reward listings....

    Maybe a new variant? A kid version? Due to something Strange did with the Time Stone? Or a gender-swapped version from some effect of the Reality Stone? ;)

    Vulture is boosted for the week too, he should be able to deal with the special tile spam.

    I can just picture it now: "I have had it with these tinykitty typos in this tinykitty forum post!"
    “Typos... Why did it have to be typos...”

    sorry, nerd brain fart...

    Less Dark Avengers than Venom Bomb at least. Just day one, though it does mean dealing with Juggernaut. Oh, and the Bullseye/Hood/Muscle node is annoying as heck.

    Give me R&G any day over Wakanda.
    Yep. I was about to moan that we were meeting those guys again but anything is better than Wakanda so I'll stay quiet.

    These same PVE Story events are coming around way too often. Whatever happened to one of my favorites like "Enemy Of The State". I love that 7-Day event. It gives so many tokens. It's also fun.

    Last time we had the MR&G 4 day was April 8, only about 6 weeks ago.  After that should be another 3 day, either Hunt or Simulator based on longest ago run.  Then (probably) Hearts of Darkness 3 day for the new release, unless they run a new release boss event.

    Meanwhile in PVP land, its more 3* PVPs with Gambit on center stage.  Although Okoye may be finally shaking things up a little after 7 months.

    Rerun, rerun, rerun.  It’s no wonder some folks are finding new games.  

    But hey, new Supports again.

    Yup - also Doc Ock reward is Thor (he's not due for ages in regular PVP rotation) which likely means Divine Champions or something as first for off-season.

    I am also curious about Switch being skipped.  They also skipped Hawkguy and Mystique recently.

    My leaning for first off season is Earth’s Mightiest, since we had Divine Champions just on May 1.

    Looking at past records of new Story Events and Boss Events, we have:

    In 2016
    1) Webbed Wonder (story event): April 
    2) Civil War (boss event) : May
    3) Boss Rush (boss event): October
    4) Strange Sights (story event): November
    5) The Crash of the Mad Titan (story event): December

    In 2017:
    1) Come and Get Me (boss event): April 
    2) Spiderman vs Sinister Six (boss event): July
    3) System Reboot (story event): August
    4) S.H.I.E.L.D Training: September
    5) The X-Men vs Apocalypse (boss event): October
    6) 12 Days of Marvel: December

    In 2018:
    1) Fight for Wakanda: February

    It seems that most of the new events are introduced in the 2nd half of the year. If this is a trend, there would be 3 to 5 more new events this year.

    I think the devs mentioned that they will break the cycle once in a while.
