Find the marketing guy who forced the ad for the wedding pack into the comic and toss him from the roof. Other than that not a hafl bad comic.
YES! I made it into the comic!
You can see my character on page 15, first panel... I am standing WAY off in the background left side of the panel, the character with the yellow glasses. The comic is really cool; too bad there wasn't more of the dialogue from some of the attendees in there.
My favorite line from me during that event (when all heck broke loose): "DUDE! Recluse got pwned!"

I didn't get to attend the event, so it was nice to see it all come together.
ChaseArcanum, another fine piece of work! I loved the PNN news ticker, especially ('Warwolves protest spay program', hehehe, classic).
The wedding dialogue was as corny as I'd imagined, but hey, it's a super hero wedding

Funny, I didn't see any solicitations or prices in the comic 
Chase, Cinder, great job on the book Where did you get the shots from the fashion show? I don't remember testing that part of the even 
(LOL - my MM Iron Reign and his bots can be seen on page 20 
)
Excellent work, as usual, by Chase - not 'just the facts' but a healthy helping of humor!
And yeah, Shandora does clean up nice.
What? Shes already pissed at me after the I11 promo comic, I don't have anything else to lose.

Well *I have a smirk on my face for the rest of the day at work! My brute Melqar made it quite a few frames, and was featured predominantly on pg 21 beating on Castle! Even his pet spider made it in (which was surprising cause she lasted about a 10 seconds).
Great job and thanks for making my day!

To be fair, the devs didn't give me any pressure to stick any product placement in there.
I tried to cover as much of the "features" tied to the event as I could, regardless of whether its' a paid pack or not (like the I10 guide). Since emotes are... well... moving... I figured I'd need multiple panels to catch them at enough stages to really communicate what they looked like in a static picture. I opted for the fashion show because I didn't see many appropriate places during the actual event to direct focus away from the bride & groom.
All that had to be laid out long before I actually got to see or shoot anything, so I overcompensated with more space rather than less. By the time I realized that I could have used less space to cover that... well... it was a VERY tight schedule...

Nicely done!

Nice comic, Chase! Minor nitpick, though, *Positron* is the one who always cries at weddings. That's why he wouldn't take the helmet off!

I disagree.
*giggles*
Loved the comic adaptation! Great work and it really brings the event alive.
Hooray, I'm in it!
(Page 11, 2nd panel is the first appearance of Tisiphone MistWalker, my Mind/Psi Dom from Justice... She's standing in front of all the guests because I was filming the ceremony and the other guests were nice enough to let me stand up front so I could film.
On the downside... this meant that when it all hit the fan, Manticore shot Tisiphone in the face with a Fistful of Arrows and dropped her in her tracks, ignoring my wail of, "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOOT YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER!")
Great work, Chase! Absolutely loved it!

Excellent! The Commander and Countess made their way into the comic. hehe, thanks :P
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^
Arachnos Commander:
I'm in it too
Excellent work.
Argh, I can't read it! "Invalid plug-in detected, Acrobat Reader will now quit" is all I see!
T_T
Edit: Wait, there it goes. Nice work!
WOOHOO! Page 8, second panel, green-skinned guy in the blue tux is me as Rush, not that anyone but me cares. It makes me happy, tho.
Ahh, several other appearances during the vows, too. Good, good. Even a shot near the end of the fight when I was kinning LR. This is a keeper for me!
OMG, I forgot about Posi protesting. That was too freaking funny ...
Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.
Good comic, though I think there is a paparazzi stalking me or something, I seem to be prominent in several panels
It was just awesome. I loved the constant "loving attention" being given (poor guy being rejected so often) and the ticker was great!

I have some very nice shots of you two together somewhere in this HUGE library of images I archived for this...
Figured I share a little bit of what DIDN'T make it or is tough to see:
First, in case you can't figure out all the headlines:
<ul type="square">[*]City Hall replaced by Automatons. Efficiency Up 30%[*]Wentworths: Hero proposals drive Diamond & Platnum up. Discriminating brides choose Enchanted Impervium.[*]Your Taxes at Work: After 3 Years MAGI Vault Door Still Broken[*]Hollow Point Arrested during Brickstown Bank Heist... Again.[*]Report:Investigative. Rikti:Undercover. [*]Mass Fir Bolg Exodus: Who's Guarding the Henge?[*]101 Uses for Hamidon Goo.[/list]
Then I needed more, I asked Rian_Frostdrake for ideas without telling him what it was for. Many of his were too long to work, so I'll share them here now:
<ul type="square">[*] Behemoth PAC blocks new ag. bill. when asked for
comment, simply stated "no more farming"[*] goldbricker union standoff enters third week:
demands for better dental coverage a sticking point.[*] council protests new leash law for warwolves,[*] warwolves REALLY protest new spay and neuter policy.[*] Entertainment report: dr. Vahzilok, plastic surgeon
to the stars.[*] Lord recluse offers large reward for anyone who
can find president marchand's power armor..the sooner
the better[*] becky the tarantula mistress, the hot new singing
and dancing sensation releases her long awated CD
today.[*] Nemesis victim of nemisis plot, flusteredly
claims "its all part of my plan" then mutters "ok this
$%^# is getting confusing, even for me"[*] coralax: the other white meat?[*] Tsoo discover powerful "greetings feline" tatto,
cute and deadly. some complain about effects on their
masculinity.[*] cabal enthusiastic about new computer dating site
"Its been a LOOOONG dry spell" says storm maven.[*] (and after he saw the "zombies chasing Positron" part of the comic, he added ) Matt Miller today announced "dramatic" changes coming soon for zombie masterminds.[/list]
Next, I'll say that the emote Positron is doing during "payback" wasn't my initial choice... I'd toyed with an emote with special meaning to the PvP community, but it really wasn't right for a signature hero to do (except maybe Synapse... he'll do anything.)
Any thoughts to which one?
Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement:
Valentines Day, 2008 was certainly a day to remember. The whos who of Paragon City turned out for the wedding between two of the citys luminary Heroes: Manticore and Sister Psyche. Despite the best planning for security, Lord Recluse was still able to infiltrate the nuptials and crash the party!
Now, you can relive every moment of this very special event. The City of Heroes team worked with one of the games biggest fan comic book creators, ChaseArcanum, to create an exclusive Comic Book regaling all the details.
Click here to go to the comics download page where you can view: You Are Cordially Invited The Wedding of Manticore and Sister Psyche!
Additionally, we have a transcript of the wedding ceremony, including the vows.
We hope everyone had a great 2008 Valentines Day!
