    It would have been nice if the progression rewards for Nebula and Dazzler had been the first cover, given that we missed out on that from SHIELD Simulator.  It'd help my ones look a little more balanced.

    Since Taskmaster is Limited, we won't have a new 4* release to rotate into normal packs by the time the next season (the first one post-Anniversary) starts. There won't be a new character to put at the top of SHIELD Simulator. It's pure speculation at this point, but it makes sense that they might go back to Dazzler. We wouldn't escape the problem with every other time two characters rotate in together (only one cover is offered in Shield Sim so someone gets skipped), but it's a neat and obvious way to fix two problems at once (characters got skipped, and not having a new character to put in Shield Sim post-Anniversary), so it feels pretty likely, you know?

    A Little sad we are missing out on Dazzler placement rewards on account of Places of Power, but that is a minor complaint indeed.

    Interesting to see Silver Surfer as an essential, that means we start the third cycle of Classic Fivestar Essentials.

    @Brigby- last time Surfer was essential the Heroes for Hire offer was for his red instead of his blue (it was his first time offered but second time featured). Do you know if the Heroes for Hire offer this time will be for his blue to make up for it or is it red again?

    Also pleased to see Captain Marvel as the fourstar PvP reward again, figured she'd be skipped since she was recently awarded but it's Another thing I don't mind.

    *(10/11/18) Brigby - Updated Versus events, Story events, and Deadpool's Dailies.
    That's later in the day than we normaly get updates, MUCH thanks Brigby! We were just talking in alliance chat about not knowing the upcoming required characters, and there it is, now we know! :D
    And knowing is half the battle.
    So just say No!

    My 0/5/4 Dazzler and 0/3/6 Nebula are applauding this.

    Really?  After being awarded only in her release and then token update delayed for 2 weeks,  Dazzler is required for Hearts of Darkness? 

    Great

    Guess the answer was "none of the above" - it's a black cover.

    3rd time as essential, so 3rd color, was apparently the thinking.  I personally think it would be a bit foolish to purchase any cover for Surfer for 250cp. Someday he’ll get a feeder....someday.

    *shrugs* Black Bolt's second turn as an essential had a green cover in HfH since the first turn happened Before HfH offers were a thing, so next offer should be black even though it's his third time.

    Not that it really matters now anyway - those who need a blue Silver Surfer cover just need to wait for the next cycle or a feeder.

    Would it be too much to hope that the up coming alliance event offers three Taskmaster covers?

    I could see it being Xpool since he is included in Cable's vault. If they make Xpool a feeder for Cable, the better. :)

    Come And Get Me (10/18/18) *New Update*
    Double Iso-8, More Info To Come!

    Featured Characters:
    4-Star: Medusa
    3-Star: Daredevil (Man Without Fear)
    2-Star: Thor (Marvel NOW!)

    Character Categories: 
    Spider-Man, Hawkeye, Wolverine, Drax, Captain America, Rocket & Groot, Gamora

    Welp. There goes all the challenge of this event. Hopefully the 4-star covers are nice at least. I'm highly doubtful it would be Nebula or Dazzler considering how there both just the 4E. Taskmaster would be great, but I don't have my hopes up. I see X-Pool.

    At least one of them is an illusion.
