Massively Launch Web Comic featuring CoH

Yeps you read it here first.

I stuck it here because I know not all CoX players automatically gravitate to the comicbook culture forum but it's great news for CoX fans and the art's pretty fun and clean, by a guy called Lemuel Pew who apparently plays our fave game.

Great to see Massively once again supporting the game!

Great news!

Those 'Inside-job men' at Massively just keep paying off in dividends don't they.

I think this is brilliant which is why I wanted to get it here.

What bugs me is how little of this stuff NC actaully does

---

Excellent stuff!

@SS: True, but do we see similar efforts from other developers for other games? Don't think we're that alone in that respect really.

Must agree with SteelRat here. Cartoonist are seldom paid by the ones they make cartoons of. Kind of defeats the purpose of their work.

I do hope we will see more of his work soon.

Awesome

Well we did once have the comicbooks themselves, tho I was actually trying ot make the wider point that NCsoft are rubbish at marketing and make very few efforts to get their products into the public domain (unless it's called Aion)

Yeah, and that's my point: I don't think I've ever seen an advert for any MMO outside WoW, at least no more than the bits and pieces I've seen for CoH here and there. When I first started playing MMOs a few years back, I didn't really know of any that existed outside WoW, and I only got into them (namely this and EvE) through a mate at work.

NCSoft used to advertise extensively in Marvel comics. That's what got me into the game originally but that seems to have fallen by the wayside.

Used to appear a fair amount in PC games magazines as well... before everyone stopped reading them (except Edge ).

It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!

Possibly that whole Marvel suing Cryptic thing might have caused a rethink

Not sure who would have benefited from that part - Cryptic have to stop adverts in a comic book for a comic book game, and Marvel has to stop taking money from them

It could have been something along these lines:

Marvel: Ok we're not gonna win this - but we can sue the backside off you until you run out of dough first. So, you pay us a shedload of revenue and we'll run an advert for your game in all our books. That way it looks like we're all friends.

NCsoft & Cryptic: Why you... ok then
