Description

- Issue 4 - The Colosseum
- Issue 5 - Forest of Dread
- Issue 6 - Along Came a Spider

- Issue 9 - Breakthrough
Timeline
Until Issue 7, Issues were released once every three months (in average). Issue 6, the first to include the City of Villains codebase, was plagued by a number of bugs and incompatibility problems, which caused Issue 7 to be released over seven months later. Issue 8 was also significantly delayed, being released almost six months after Issue 7. Issue 9 also spent a long time in the Test server while the Invention System was being polished.
Positron has stated the desire to release three Issues a year.
- April 28, 2004: Original release.
- June 29th, 2004: Issue 1, 62 days later.
- September 16th, 2004: Issue 2, 79 days later.
- January 4, 2005: Issue 3, 110 days later.
- May 4, 2005: Issue 4, 120 days later.
- August 31, 2005: Issue 5, 119 days later.
- October 27, 2005: Issue 6, 57 days later.
- June 6, 2006: Issue 7, 222 days later.
- November 28th, 2006: Issue 8, 175 days later.
- May 1st, 2006: Issue 9, 154 days later.
Notes
- The names of the various issues have traditionally been chapter names of famous books.
- Jack Emmert decided to use the name "Issues" to describe the larger updates to coincide with the comic book theme of the game.
