North American subscribers to the game originally received the "City of Heroes" monthly comic book in the mail; it is also available in some comic book stores. The comic follows the adventures of fictional Paragon City heroes and ties into the game's plot development at times, as well as featuring a section devoted to fan art, fan fiction, and other miscellany in the back. At times, this rear section has also included comic strips by Tim Buckley of "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and Aaron Williams of "PS238" and "Nodwick".
