I definitely want to see a WWII era story about the Sand Kings, but that's because I'm a big Rat Patrol fan and WWII history buff.
I agree that we need stories fleshing things out like Blue Steel, the fall of Astoria...etc.
Ditto on Blue Steel.
Would really love to see more info on him. Maybe in a new article by Gil. *hint* *hint* 
I'd like to see a Comic Saga centering around the Council; specifically, the Center and his abilities (and, more important, what he LOOKS LIKE).
And let's face it; we NEED to know more about the Council other than "that group that's not as good as the 5th Column" 
Supplemental Galactic Protectorate Fanfic
Retrieve a device from an abandoned villains lair through traps
Martial Arts Tournament with Heros and NPCs involved
2 Patriotic Heros slug it out over whose view of America is the right one (Captain Conservative vs Masked Libertarian or something)
Hero/Villain seeks Asylum in Paragon, pursued by unknown forces
UFOs reported seen at night in zones (imagine seeing a Rikti Ship fly over KR and the commotion)
Villains try to recruit youths by showing how cool they are and heros have to out-impress villains
Identical Ninja Gang
Personailty starts super hero dating service with the idea of breeding a new generation of improved superheros and monitoring them
Hero dies and shard holds a wake for the hero
Heros try for a poker night and keep getting interrupted with villain calls
Two Superheros file for divorce and start slugging it out in the streets of Paragon
Aliens arrive hunting Alien war criminal who says he is innocent(who do you believe)
TF - 5 powerful villains try to prove who is better
Hero gets invite to party, turns out its a villain party and gets hit on by female freakshow
Heros crash villains lair in the middle of villain's bachelor party, have to deal with groom and then enraged bride
Dr Vahilzok gets a boost in power from an unknown benefactor
you decide to start a superhero hotline and get calls for missions
Go undercover in Ziggurat - better put more slots in shower defence
Random Heros with a specific power group (like all Magical Defenders with Psionics) start hearing strange voices no one else hears(kinda like a scary movie)

If Gil wont make his story I will.
Something else I'd like to see...
The events that lead to Statesman, The Dark Watcher, and Maiden Justice to form the Freedom Phalanx.
Nemesis succesfully siezing controll of Washington DC, and the two battles that led to him finally being defeated.
the events detailing how the clockwork king ended up in his new robotic body.
The fight between Statesman and the Freedom Phalanx versus Reichsman and the Amerika Korps (Which eventually led to Reichs being frozen).
Storylines detailing whats going on in other countries.
There is another plaque about galaxy girl in Eden. If I remember correctly, she saved Ms. Liberty with her last bit of strength there during the Rikti invasion.

I'm hoping this is the plan for the new comic. Instead of focusing on one group of heroes, I'd really like to see them float back and forth both in time and setting to help flesh things out. Kind of like how JLU focuses on different heroes.
The history of the Shadow Shard.
Come on! They have some some Shadow Shard arc in there somewhere!
oh there is a good deal in the Shard TFs, but frankly those four zones REALLY need some damn development. They Are TEH AWESOME! it would be great to have some stuff to do there beyond fruit hunting.

With the exception of the Dr. Quarterfeild TF, yes. And I expect more later. It doesn't mean it wouldn't be cool to have it fleshed out some. We don't know much about the people who are native to the SS and how they dealt witht he world when it first shattered.
Quarterfeild? Pah, I deny his entire existence.
I would like to see the Calvin Scott TF in the comics.
I know this idea is not very likely due to the inside game work involved, but I would love to see it.
Plot idea that leads to an actual small event in the actual game
A story featuring the club where the heroes go to relax and discover it is empty. They knew it used to be one of the hottest places simply because it had mystical technology that linked it to many zones. They search for the reason and discover that it is the Council. The Council are trying to run it out of business in order to accomplish some nefarious plot that would lead to domination. In the end of the episode, the heroes go in and save the day naturally, but the warehouse has taken tremendous damage. Because of this, they rebuild it with the help of many communities and normal citizens and in rebuilding it, they make some great additions including a couple of stages for contests such as beauty contests, costume contests, dancing contests and even a large jukebox that can play different songs. (With the jukebox, it will play what the individual player chooses on his/her computer alone. If they do not choose anything, it will play a default tune.)
The reasoning behind it
1. Although I would love to see stories telling about the past heroes, I would also love to see stories talking about what is also currently going on in the game and giving hints to future events. It would link the comic directly to the exact current events going on in the game and let people feel like they are more part of the plot while playing.
2. It would give everyone a place to go for contests other than by the level up areas in Atlas and Galaxy. Although I personally do not mind people gathering there and have been in a couple contests for fun, I know many people tend to get frustrated because of the amount of lag that gathers in those specific places and the amount of local and broadcast chatter.
3. Although the club was a good idea, there really is nothing there to draw people in as opposed to them simply meeting under Atlas or near the level up area in Galaxy. This would give people a place to go where they can easily do the contests without getting into anyone elses way.
Additional ideas just in case the devs ever consider this
1. Make a contest channel or some call to heroes channel that people can use simply to announce when they are doing things like and the time limit for when it begins so people are free to head there if they want. This way they can easily limit the club to its own broadcast area like indoor missions are without having problems gathering people who want to join. It would also allow people to turn the channel off it they are not interested in knowing about contests.
2. Make a separate AFK room that would be exempt from being time lagged. Since the entire place would now be considered its own zone, there is no fear of people using it to pl. It would also give people a place to go if they need to walk away for a few minutes (to cook dinner, to send kids off to school
) and do not want to be autologged because they are a couple minutes late in returning.
Btw, I added this here since it is a comic idea as well, but should I have made my idea its own thread? I think it would be a neat idea and great additions.

Obviously the entrance to this 'meta zone' would have to be the various non-working bathroom doors scattered all over the place. (and some special bushes in areas without buildings).

For a hero that has died, I'd like to see how they died.
I think it would also be interesting to see the final moments of hero 1 and the rest of the crew.

Most speedster type heroes died because of suppression
Infinity: 50
InfernalMachine F/F Tank
Shaugraun MA/Reg

I personally really want to see the Kheldians in action, Moonfire, Sunstorm, and Shadowstar.

Isn't Ravenstorm a Warshade as well?
I'd love to see a Kheld story done right (without all of that nonsense from the Horus - Blue King story)
A better, more fleshed out, grander and more heinous explanation behind the overthrow of the 5th Colum by the Council, and an IC reason why it all happened. The Council has a great potential to be much more evil than just a bunch of Nazis, but the general consensus is we don't care because there is not enough effort in the original overthrow.
On that note, I'd like to see the fall of Atlas to 5th column than to council, as it is historically accurate, not to mention remarking all the plaques in game back to referring to at least the present day Council as an acknowledgement of the overthrow. (ok the last parts a bit of a hijack but I would like to see it done.)
Summer Heat
I would like to see this done in game. So those who join up years down the road wont have to hunt the comics down. Heres one way it could be done. The contact could be a student, reporter or an archologist is doing research on say Wavelength. they ask you to get a piece of liturature or item in a area to dangerouse for them to go. When completed an you hit the exit button instead of being dumped directly out on the street you get one or more comic book style screens. For your viewing and reading pleasure. I would even number the pages so if your on a pick up team you can get some idea as to where in the story you you were. Then when done you can hit exit aagina get dumped out on the street.
Moar story arcs.
And we used to get Scorch and Incinerate in it! :P
