    Boss event Wednesday to Sunday?
    That's a first.
    To ensure overlap with Webbed Wonder? 🤣

    Also, no Bagman PVP?

    Thought I fixed that when I fixed the weird 3 day Enemy of the State that's now placeholder. Boss Event is Thursday as per normal.

    @IceIX, Who’s the 5-star Essential for Infinite Pursuit? Thanks!

    There’s a day off between Strange Sights and Lost in Time the week of the Boss Event. The same thing happened this week before the Boss Event. Is this intentional? Should we expect a day off from PvE on the week of Boss Events going forward?

    @IceIX is the PvE on 4/2 Fight For Wakanda (picture) or Honor Among Thieves (written)?

    Anyone recognize what the graphic on the right side of the calendar might represent?

    As always, thanks for this. Is it possible to add the 2star required characters for the PVE events? Appreciate it.

    I noticed this too, so going to @IceIX so he’ll see, in case they can fix it since it’s still a month away (unless it’s just a picture inaccuracy).

    Double checked and confirmed those dates are correct. I'll bring up the gap though, with the Boss Event overlapping Lost In Time a bit it does look like there's room to shift things back there though and cover the gap.

    Can do!

    @IceIX - There's a full day overlap between The Hunt and Infinite Pursuit. Intentional? Maybe Infinite Pursuit should be the 3 day version? (Or vice versa, because... The Hunt)

    3/30 - 4/6 NEW
    5-Star: Adam Warlock, Carnage (Prophet), Knull, Shang-Chi

    Adam Warlock/Carnage is back. It was a pain facing them back then. SC is here as well. And Knull.

    4/6 - 4/13 NEW
    5-Star: Big Wheel, Doctor Doom, Havok, Spider-Man

    This list is pretty uninteresting. With three of them having colours overlap not in particular order red/green/blue.

    4/6 - 4/13 NEW
    5-Star: Big Wheel, Doctor Doom, Havok, Spider-Man

    ^^
    Which Spider-Man PP or BiB?

    Also, it looks like there are going to be at least 2 unscheduled PvE days? With 2 boss events that is essentially 4 days off.
    There is no overlap for Apoc boss event and Honor Among Thieves 4/1-4/2.

    There is also 2 days overlap for Gargantos and Lost in Time on 4/27-4/28 but there is none for Lost in Time and Strange Sights 4/23-4/24. Can Lost in Time be shifted a day earlier to 4/23?
