We announced a ton of exciting features coming with Issue 19 at our New York Comic-Con panel. One of them was a brand new Task Force for our higher level players involving the return of a much talked about but never seen character who is now making the transition from Comic Books to the game!

Apex is back and he is organizing a new team to help stop an invasion from Praetoria. Find out more in the Apex Task Force Trailer now!

Ok, who and or what power set is at 35-39 second mark with the Swords flying all around.

That looks pretty cool!

Not sure if that was a player toon or an NPC. Looked a little drab to be a players toon though. Nice looking trailer overall though.

That, as well as the rest of the trailer, looks cool!
Naah, I think that was a War World Mercenary, from Battle Maiden's dimension.

It's a giant friggin' robot! Woohoo!

Was that the Hydra just before the end of the trailer? at about 45 seconds.

Looks like it's gonna be one hell of a Task Force. Cant wait to play it. Also I like the look with the portal showing Atlas Park about half way thru the trailer.

No, he had an itchy nose and scratched it - that's why the zone looks like that.

That's actually from the Tin Mage Task Force though; according to the devs they put it in the trailer just because it was "so cool".

The Tin Mage TF sends us to Praetoria, so that portal might be one of several that we have to take down to disrupt the invasion.

if memory serves from the NYC Comic Con panel the potal of Atlas park is form the Tin Mage tf. The devs thought it looked cool and added it to the trailer.

Which means that when they do the Tin Mage TF trailer, they can find something equally cool from the Alpha Strike TF and slip that in.

That giant robot looks bad-freaking-derriere. I know he's probably not really much bigger than the Crystal Titan, but he looked damn cool punching the ground.

I want to play that TF just to see that thing.

Looks like quite a few toons were using it at about the 35 sec mark... assuming it's the Alpha Slot power (or one of many Alpha Slot powers) they say that's critical to taking down those giant critters.


Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Think Battle Maiden is also an incarnate there, Since she is leading the raid, I would think they give her a couple new tricks.

Well we would told we might get a couple of Surprise for finish the TF, I wounder if a new power would be that.

I'm not sure Tyrant would make his henchpeople into Incarnates - that could threaten his position - plus he has his clone army of Olympian Guards to use instead, and they'e totally loyal to him.

hmm...there's not much different, instead of ice swords, they're broadswords like the one Battle Maiden has.
