trat73 said: Updated 3/18/2018Looks like Surfer is 1st repeated Classic. Makes some sense as he was the first Classic essential 5* back on October 8th, but the Latest essentials that came before him are now Classics. So in other words, no idea how the order will play out.
It's also Worth noting that Surfer's Heroes for Hire cover was red, his second color, despite not being offered as a HfH Before. No problem for me as I could use both blue and red for Surfer and can use black but not green for Black Bolt (who should be up next), but it's still a deviation from what could be expected.
Also, the first Classic essential was Star-Lord, but he was already featured a second time due to an oversight so he shouldn't be featured this round.

I Think it makes sense if you look at the latest date the character was essential:

I added future predictions of the classic covers up to the end of the second run. I stuck with a Latest, Latest, Latest, Classic, Classic order as I saw no discernable pattern.Open editing is available for now.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JqSiIBgRXBkeX9miZutn4UYMcuGOM7C-5Zra0XRkVXk/edit#gid=0
A few comments:
This was Black Bolt's first time in the HfH store, so it's not surprising they Went with the first color. The real head scratcher is why they offered a red cover for Silver Surfer, but I suppose they forgot Surfer hadn't had an offer Before and assumed red was due. I suspect the next offer for Surfer will be for his blue instead.
Star-Lord's last run as a Classic essential was Before Peter Parker's last run as a Latest essential, so if Star-Lord is featured again, he will be Before Peter Parker. However, since he was mistakenly featured twice already Star-Lord may be skipped in this cycle.
I don't want to mess with a document I am not familiar with, so I am posting my feedback here instead.
