I thought the crossword was freaking icing 
Some sections were a little lengthy, but the content was really good, and the player interviews are also a great way to integrate the community.
Overall, a 4/5. Good job guys 
(I'll be submitting an event next issue I think )

Very nice!
Well done all involved, keep it up!
BTW, about that proofreading... what pieces are the "Piecebringers" bringing? (Horoscopes)

I knew I should've run that through a spell-checker...
I am a flake. See?
First I am scared I read here that Lemur lad giggled...
Second, I love it. Look forward to more.
Crossword Puzzle...1 down. I am laughing at work and getting strange looks from coworkers...

We're getting requests both in here and in PMs to be interviewed. That's great, except, you all voted that the most important part of the City Scoop was the information on Game Updates.
What it boils down to: "Stick to the game, and only the game... unless my pic is going to be in it."
I love it. I'd be the exact same way.

Remember Greg McKendry
Ah, I loved this! This was a great breath of fresh air to the Paragon Times of old. The only thing lacking is some more red-side support.
(runs off to do just that)
Also, horoscopes for the win.
This is so much more than I expected at first - great job all! Now off to think up more questions for Dear Athy!

I'm really loving this. You guys are doing great! I especially enjoyed the advice and horoscope sections - go figure, since they're the first two I read from a real newspaper. After the funnies, of course.
The crossword is harder than I expected.

Hm? Which ones are sticking you people? I'm curious as to whether they are "challenging" or unreasonable.
Here's the ones I can't figue out.
10 Down, Before you leave the Zig (8 letters)
11 Down, In acknowledgement of your 3 years (4 letters)
16 Down, Stay in Character (6 letters)
18 Down, It only has one 'L' (5 letters)
15 Across and 17 Across had me stumpted for a bit, but I figured those out.

Badg.
(Crosswords are SO much easier when you can't 'just see' spelling mistakes. )
Doesn't fit, second letter is E.

Great work guys! Fun to read!
Loved Liquid X's column opening.
Brute Horriscope was right on the mark! Thanks for the heads up on that wall, I was wondering what I've been bumping into.
Thanks for the hard work.
10 Down, Before you leave the Zig (8 letters)
It's a badge
11 Down, In acknowledgement of your 3 years (4 letters)
You get a badge for playing for 3 years... and some other things.
16 Down, Stay in Character (6 letters)
Not the slightest clue.
18 Down, It only has one 'L' (5 letters)
I *believe* it's a zone name. It's really not much of a clue to go on though, but a zone does fit.
I haven't gotten
3 across: what this puzzle is not
I have s__o_u (I may have 1 or 2 down wrong)
19 across: she who bore the wings (7 letters, last one is t)
No clue.
7 down: first to wear a trenchcoat
I believe this would be the thug enforcers, but that doesn't fit. (or the ppd psi cops - also doesn't fit)
16 down: Stay in Character (5 letters, letter five is 'u')
No clue
20 down: A right of passage for Supers (4 letters, 3rd is 'u')
No idea.

A hint (since I don't like just giving answers)... what is one of the rewards for 3 years?

Greatly enjoyed it. I immediately printed out the crossword puzzle (in greyscale to save ink), and went about completing it. Only have 10 down, 11 down, 16 down and 18 down left to go.
Also, I would love to be interviewed for Behind the Mask.
