Greetings all,

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that the text is not final in the preview.
The Hellions/Outcasts error and the repeated text boxes will be corrected before the final release.

Cheers,
Manticore

I have never seen Manticore in here before, and he talks too much like Statesman...

Coincidence...?

or

Personality Disorder...?

or

Statesman's secret identity is Manticore !!!??!!

Although Statesman and I share goals and ideals, we are not the same person.

Well, issue two was called "A Shadow of the Past", which just so happened to be the title of the second chapter of "The Fellowship of the Ring". Oh, and "Eastgate" is referenced as being part of Moria in the world of LoTR.

So, going by the theory that the chapter titles refer to great works of literature, I did a little research into the new title: Issue 3 A Council of War.

The only thing I could come up with is Treasure Island. Chapter 12 (1 plus 2 equals 3?) of Treasure Island is called Council of War.

So, is this title a hint at the possibility of a water zone? Perhaps pirate villains? Or some sort of treasure?

Just some speculation I'll put out there. Enjoy.

Very astute.

Greetings heroes!

This is Sean “Manticore” Fish, Game Designer for Cryptic Studios. I am going to be helping out with an event at GenCon that I know you will all want to check out. It’s called True Heroes and I know anyone that enjoys City of Heroes will have a great time. The event is being put on by the True Adventures folks, who are heroes in their own right. The event is presented by Upper Deck and let me assure you, the VS. SYSTEM Trading Card Game (that the event is loosely based on), is in fact, the best thing since sliced bread.

I also wanted to let all you stalwart City of Heroes players know that the True Adventures gang are looking for more volunteers to help them out with this great event. Check out the info below and get in touch if you are interested in coming out to the show and helping with the event. I know I am looking forward to it. See you there!

This is Manticore signing off from Brickstown.
