    Madelyne Pryor! No doubt about it. The resurrected clone of Jean Grey and the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. Very strong possibility she'll feed Emma Frost as well. I'm super excited for them!

    Good catch! I was about to say the same. Question is, which version of her? The villain or the anti-hero after Krakoa version?

    I'd suggest to use the final issue of Hellions as the cover.

    If it is the anti-hero Goblin Queen, then it's got to be the upcoming Dark X-Men Series.

    Is this a 4* or 5*?

    4* based on timing.

    Not sure if there was ever any info put out, but are these new supports going to be added to the support token pool at any point?

    Yes, Krakoa should be added this coming end of the season, unless they have finished support shards and rewards update ahead of time or slower than expected.

    Can we please keep the Spidey cover?

    New SheThor, Gwenpool, 3* Spidey, 3* Shulk, and 3* Deadpool covers. Is OML new too?
    I liked the old Spiderman and She Hulk covers better.

    We are getting support shards & rewards?!?!?

    The dev posted this in reddit about 3 weeks ago:

    At the next season shift this support will go to the support store. Depending on the timeframe of release for support shards, it will either rotate in on Puzzle Ops or benefit from the next reward structure overhaul that improves support accessibility for all.

    this support refers to the first new support related to Wong: Kamar-Taj. It's not referring to Krakoa. My bad.

    Hmm. Well not gonna knock back potential Support-mas so I shall await information moving forward (Hi Devs - remember these forums? Thanks!)

    On cover swaps:

    Mighty Thor - It's a nice cover but I really liked the old one, so mixed feelings, especially as the art style is very much like the 4* version.
    Gwenpool - I like this one a lot.
    Deadpool - Definitely different, definitely fits him on MPQ. Thumbs up.
    Spider-Man - Ha ha, awesome!
    She Hulk - it's a nice cover and I think better than her other one.

    Think that is all of them? If so I think they are pretty much all winners.

    The game is rated E-10+. Not the top cover.

    Goblin Queen's "costume" doesn't really get any more kid friendly though, does it? At least that cover bad as it is, is less sexually suggestive than the Namora one.

  • DAZ0273

    It's bad from the stance if you are attempting to not display a sexualised image of a female comic book character. I doubt there are many good options for evil Madelyne though, as the costume was little more than rags from it's debut in Inferno.

    Mod note: Please refrain from using insults. It is a violation of rule 7. Thank you.

    Where did I use an insult?!?!?!

    Edit to add: The E10+ guidelines are really not all that clear where they reference "partial nudity" as to what that specifically means as to not being not allowed but they talk about games like Minecraft and Sonic as being appropriate for this tier. It explains why games like Sony's Spider-Man are rated 16 even though there is nothing really in them you could call problematic for younger teen audiences.

    There are plenty of younger people, and girls, who play this game, so I 100% appreciate the devs not sexualizing and objectifying the characters.

    Ask Djinn. Also, my niece plays (well, played I think she's back on Minecraft now).
