Are you ready to get a little bit more Champions Online action in now that the future of the game is more secure? Then you're in luck, as the game has just kicked off the first in its series of weekly comic issues. But these aren't just something for players to read -- no, these are comic issues for players to play through for themselves, watching a story unfold while blasting through new challenges.
Similar in format to the featured episodes of Star Trek Online, the first series is titled Aftershocks and kicks off with an UNTIL base going dark. The first installment should take about half an hour to play through, with further installments coming in subsequent weeks to finish out the story. Champions Online players can start enjoying this ongoing arc with any character over level 11 and are encouraged to visit the official page for more information on the new format.

What I absolutly love in champs, it's that everytime new content, with new mechanics is released, I'm thinking "it's gonna be bugged".
When I was playing aftershock and began the part with the defensive turrets, I was pretty sure it would bug at some points... But no.
That's pretty ironic, since when a mission is featured on the PTS, it is usually released with many bugs, but aftershock wasn't even on the pts...
Ah, Cryptic, such an enigma.

If they keep releasing content at this rate, ill come back in a year and have a solid 3+ months of playtime, which, lets be honest, is longer than the launch game.

Personally, I love this kind of content.
Episodic releases on a weekly, or bi-weekly basis are exactly what I want in an MMO. Champion's isn't for me, but I applaud the technique.

Aftershock Issue #1 was pretty cool. I'm looking forward to next week.
