What will the next "cycle" look like?

However, I'm not sure, has anyone actually seen this box? There's a whole lot of talk about it on many, many threads, and yet none of them actually include an image.

I'm just inclined to disbelieve given how monumentally crazy they'd have to be to make a spider-woman hero since she has a unique ally, over bigger Avengers like Scarlet Witch.

I'd argue with Jessica's history with Hydra, she was a pretty obvious choice for this box set...

I have a feeling my network is going to decide to give me issues right when the livestream starts tomorrow.

Oh wow the live steam is tomorrow? For some reason I thought I had to wait all the way til next Tuesday. This stay at home stuff is really messing with my internal calendar.

I hear ya on that one! I was already getting messed up the week before last when our schedules got moved around and then we had an earthquake (which we usually don't have here). Now we're home full time and I'm all sorts of confused about what day it is a lot.

Interesting. I wonder if we experienced the same earthquake.

The morning of the 18th?

Yup. That 5.7 near Salt Lake City. That was wild. I mean I know 5.7 isn’t exactly a huge earthquake but I’ve never felt anything like that.

Yeah. All the Californians are probably like "Pffft, 5.7? That's nothin'!" But for an area that doesn't really get earthquakes that was crazy.

Interesting although it may be a stretch. Red Skull was once in control of a Cosmic Cube, which incidentally was Wielded by Thanos in an earlier incarnation before he hunted the Infinity stones down. Link..

It's almost time!

Lots of fun stuff in the stream. I took screencaps of the 13 cards cards revealed, in case they don't show up.

Also... the silhouettes will be in the article. Let the speculation begin!

That was awesome! Spider-Woman looks nuts! And I'd say hero Hawkeye absolutely makes up for not being able to include his ally in a leadership deck.

Yep. I wish they would have shown us more than one of her signature cards, though. Hopefully there will be more in the article.

Here's a link to the pics I took:

...as a note to people who did watch the stream and haven't seen an article... Spider-Woman builds her deck from an equal number of cards from 2 different aspects, but her signature cards actually include cards from all four aspects (they said 1 card of each aspect with 2 copies each, but I'm not sure if they meant 'only' or 'at least' the 2 cards/aspect). They confirmed this means you could potentially get +4 to all her stats in a turn. Yikes.

Plus... the article is up!!!

Huh... I am genuinely surprised Kate isn't Clint's signature ally. Looks like she's a regular Leadership ally, instead. Since it's not her, I'm not sure who they'll use... Mockingbird would work, I guess, but they haven't been together in a VERY long time.

The article show Spider-Woman with an Aggression signature card called Venom Shock. And with the Pheromones Leadership signature card @KBlumhardt provided we can already confirm she’s getting a Justice signature and Protection signature as well.
