There are 20 new character faces to choose from, two new costume sets, and costume change emotes, which provide flashy transitions between costumes for your characters. <br /><br /><em>Issue 15: Anniversary</em> also marks the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/29/city-of-heroes-senior-designer-bruce-harlick-on-return-of-the-5t/">return of The 5th Column</a> and <a href="http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Reichsman">The Reichsman</a>, and thus new missions at levels 45-50 -- with Villain Strikeforce and Hero Taskforce arcs, depending upon which side of the law you're on. NCsoft has more info about <em>Issue 15</em> on their <a href="http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/game_updates/issue_15/issue_15_overview.html"><em>Anniversary</em> overview site</a>, and asks, <em>"What does the opening of the Omega Team Time Capsule hold in store for Paragon City and the Rogue Isles?"</em> The answers, we suspect, should be clear as <em>City of Heroes</em> and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-villains"><em>City of Villains</em></a> players explore the new <em>Issue 15</em> content.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/29/the-5th-column-returns-as-city-of-heroes-issue-15-anniversary-g/">The 5th Column returns as City of Heroes Issue 15: Anniversary goes live</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:00:00 EST.
