Hey, are there any CoH/CoV books out there? I'm a fan of fiction books, but I'm tired of reading the medieval dragon books. I know there are comics for the games out there, but are there any actual novels?

Yes there are.

Do a search for City of Heroes books.

Web of Arachnos is a full novel, there are also a couple graphic novels as well.

I have both books that have been released so far. Web of Arachnos was the first, and it contains Statesman's full origin story as well as Lord Recluse's. It also has the origin of the original Freedom Phalanx. I really liked it, although it definitely had some cheesy moments.
The second book is simply named The Freedom Phalanx. It is set in the 1980's and is about the formation of the current team. It was also very interesting, with the interactions between Manticore & Protean and Synapse & Positron really taking center stage.
All in all, both books while not defining the world of CoH do elaborate on it, and are enjoyable reads.
