New Events for 2013!

This would be actually very fun, to have a game mechanics that both Watcher and players could explore to "turn" someone into a skrull.

But I don't see why "open-book exams" would be such a big problem. The plot complications in Secret Invasion just start to appear after the skrulls revelations. Maybe if you have some "Skrull Template" (or more than one) with SFX, limits that can be ativated after the revelation, only then they are available to be exploited by everyone.

Oh, I agree! It would be like Fiasco but with more Nova Blasts.

I've been reading up on the Marvel universe with the digital comics unlimited subscription thing, and I've read a really good crossover yesterday. X-Men: Second Coming could work really well as an Event, especially if you had a little build up beforehand.

I think there is enough demand for the Messiah trilogy (Messiah Complex, Messiah War, Second Coming) that this should be a future Event for sure.

IIRC, MWP is limited in the total number of events they can do by Marvel. So they may hold off on that trilogy if they already have a lot of mutant events so they can hit more corners of the universe.

I'm not convinced.
Second Coming is mainly fight from start to end.
It's well-written, well-drawn, it's a really good comic book, but I'm not sure it would be translated as awesome in a RPG.

in reply to Shingen;

How is MHR limited in the Events it can do? I know they're limited atm by what is digital so they can edit panels into their books, but is there some contractual obligation too?

Perhaps an Ultimate Universe Event with supplements should be done so that's covered...

I'm thinking
Event: The siege starting at dark reign the cabal
Supplements during dark reign/siege:doomwar (great power play by doom against black panther),
Assault on new Olympus/chaos war ( involves all mythological heroes),
Utopia/second coming( as soon as Osborne exiled the mutants hope returned.)
Just some ideas

..

Yes, my understanding is they are contracted to do a set number of events, as dictated by Marvel. This may change in the future, but if they are restricted it makes more sense to move around.

I'm currently half way through the Spider Island event, and - wow! I could see this arc making for a really fun event book! Lots of action, a good deal of 'what the...?!?' moments, another Spidey variant (martial based, willfully enforced lack of quips, and so on [no spoilers]), plenty of villanous side-arcs...

XP awards for defending/vandalising various public monuments, Jameson's forces, the press - all one big chaotic hodgepodge!

Fingers crossed, that this one *might* just be possible...
