This is the first issue in over a year that actually made me glad I'm OCD-completist enough to keep buying the comic.

SPOILERS ARE AHEAD BY THE WAY

Okay, first couple pages, cameos!

Ascendant (ours), Beef Cake (the master badgegetter), and Castle (the dev) walk in to give Positron salvage. Beef Cake asks for a badge.

Hints for Issue 10 storyline:
-The Dark Watcher (from the first CoH novel), two sisters called Borea and Levantera, british woman called Lady Elizabeth Grey, a martial artist with a spirit helper called Serpent Drummer, and some unseen guy called Gaussian are The Vanguard

-Increased Rikti activity in the Crash Site

-There's a massive portal underground near the crashed mothership

-Zombie/Riktified Hero-1, complete with tattered uniform, huge teeth, and BARBED WIRE beats the luncheon out of Ms Liberty and Manticore, and that's the cliffhanger

Dunno, nice to see a comic where it feels like something's actually -happening-.

Anyway, grats to the cameos, and for those uninterested in the comic: please enjoy the possible i10 hints.

Oh! A huge group-pic fanart is in the back, and amongst those in the picture are Blitzkrieg Bop. (<3 bradders)

Dark Watcher? Awesome. I liked his character in the first book.

Since I refuse to pay for something which was included as part of the subscription, all I want to know is when this issue and the other missing ones will be added to the FTP site for download.

Thanks! I just picked up my copy-- I even got a speaking part! Woot!

Although, technically, the scene should go like this:

Ascendant: Here you go. Consider us even.
Positron: Um...What is this?
Ascendant: 654 Sewer Missions.
Positron: Doh!
Ascendant: They're all timed, too.
Positron: Doh!


Ascendant
Now, more than ever, Paragon City needs heroes. Do your part to save it.

My comic book shop stopped stocking CoH comics. Can someone scan the page with Ascendant? I wanna see!

I'll have a go with the scanner this evening.

Stores still sell this? Mine dropped it at least a year ago if not more.

I deftly avoided this thread knowing the UK is one day behind with it's comics.

Seeing Ascendant was mindblowing.

Flicking through the fan submissions to see Alex Dai's incredible group shot including some of Virtue's finest was frosting. Immortality, at last!

If that's the pic I think it is then one of my alts is in it, wearing blue and gold and in the upper right corner, name is Starrhawk! Now I guess I'll have to drive 25 miles to the nearest comic store and hope they have it Could somebody scan the pic and post it? If it's not the same pic then I won't have to get a second mortgage to pay for the gas to go get the comic.

If you end up buying it, just get it online so you don't have drive all over the Earth looking for it. I am sure that midtowncomics.com has it, because that's where I bought mine.

Eff, I forgot to scan things last night.

Someone poke me when I show up on YIM.

I assume you mean this one:

Lady Grey 1

Lady Grey 2

Though she's called Victoria, strange.

Yeah, all of the department heads in Vanguard are from the CCG. Dark Watcher got his start before then in the Web of Arachnos novel.
