Issue #5: Forest of Dread features the new mystical zone Croatoa, a land populated by new villains such as the Fir Bolg and the Tuatha de Dannan. Croatoa also features an epic new Task Force for heroes to complete. As well as the new zone, heroes are also treated to two new power sets: Archery and Sonics for Defenders, Blasters and Controllers.
