This Autumn will see the release of the first in a trilogy of City of Heroes novels, which promises to reveal more of the background of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles and many of the signature heroes and villains that inhabit them. WarCry has been talking to the author of City of Heroes: The Web of Arachnos, Robert Weinberg:

The Web of Arachnos is Statesman’s story. It tells how he obtained his powers, what his connection is with Paragon City, and how he became the city’s first super-powered crime fighter. It also describes his relationship with Lord Recluse, the leader of Arachnos, and the reasons they hate each other so much. It also tells about the founding of the Freedom Phalanx and something about the organization’s original members. The story takes place in the 1930’s so it forms the background for everything that follows in City of Heroes.
