City of Heroes comics and artwork
That is awesome and it is no surprise CoX beat out CO with CO's many perplexing missteps and failure to apply lessons learned from this game's development.
And how the heck did DDO do so well in the contest? That game is failure on toast.
The best comics are still 10�!

@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617
Grats to Paragon Studios! and to Us
I'm totally confused. Judging from all the pre-release Champions hype I'm certain that City of Heroes/Villains has been completely abandoned and that Champions has been so dominant that it's even challenging the World of Warcraft juggernaut. But Champions not even making the top 3? That cannot possibly be right.
(My apologies if some of the sarcasm dripped off the screen and onto your keyboard.)

*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
Congratulations, CoH! Keep up the good work!

Prometheus: ... so what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Me: From a certain point of view?
Prometheus: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view.
Me: You're right about that. Power Blast is very pretty from a certain point of view. But that point of view is not head-on. <Kaboom> - Arcanaville.

Of course, if I wanna go in and bash things and leave, I prefer City, but many, many people are having financial troubles and can't afford P2P games (even though they could simply skip McDonalds/Starbucks once or twice a month and pay for that month's sub), so F2P games get a huge bump in accounts, especially if they're "branded", like with D&D.
