    After Heart of Darkness, Strange Sights is most likely next.
    I hope so, wanting to try Hellcat against the Brute Squad

    Nico's PVP rewards Karolina, who is definitely off cycle and fits a Pride Month theme.  So it seems almost certain that her PVP will follow Nico's.

    Ummm..... she makes protects, which I suppose will mean BRBItty will remain a popular option....also, Poccy can take advantage of those.

    The rest of the month in PVE should look like this:

    6/18 - New character release

    • 5E: Yelena Belova
    • 4E: Wiccan
    • 3E: Hulk

    6/21 or 6/22

    • 5E: Immortal Hulk
    • 4E: New Character
    • 3E: Thor

    6/25

    • 5E: Black Panther
    • 4E: Ghost
    • 3E: Vision

    6/28 or 6/29

    • 5E: Thanos
    • 4E: probably Hellcat
    • 3E: Gamora

    Expected events would be Strange Sights, Deadpool vs. MPQ, Fight for Wakanda, and Cosmic Chaos. Not necessarily in that order.

    Why does it feel like Hellcat is getting the Wolfsbane treatment?  Wolfsbane had less time as an essential/reward than any other recent 4*.  Hellcat has been out for almost a month and she's been essential once I think.

    Because she’s not in tokens yet.
    It's worth noting that Wolfsbane got short-shrifted due to entering tokens late (she had a late-season release, just like Hellcat) but then just 2 months later Northstar debuted and was the one to push her out.  I'm also not sure if Wolfsbane did or did not end up in Shield Simulator as the 2K reward.

    Under our current 4/5/4/5 release plan (with occasional double 5s), 4's stay in tokens and rewards longer than ever, pretty much, since there is never more than one 4 per month, and sometimes not for a month and a half after the last one. So Hellcat will have plenty of time as an essential and in rewards, she's just entering late.  She should get at least 3 months as a Latest, which translates to about 4-5 more runs as an essential.

    The 4 coming in a few days (Thursday June 18) will also not enter tokens for some time (the next season starts a week from Thursday and will be too soon for them, so they will enter tokens on July 23 (almost certainly; you never really know...).

    Are we having an Alliance event following The Hunt?
    A more interesting question is, "Will the sneak peek ever get updated again in June?"

    Is the sneak peek thread necessary? Honestly, no, not really. But it's one of those nice gestures that shows the company cares about and values its players (beyond buy clubs, at least).
    And it's not like they need to make a new thread every month.  Just make a stickied announcement post and update it as necessary.  Turn off comments so the latest post will always be the most up to date.

    looking at the Recruit Heroes icon from within Sunday's Child, Karolina is wearing a ball cap, but she doesn't seem to have that anywhere else. Was that a costume option? Or does she occasionally have alternate art like D3adpool and Mockingbird? never noticed before
