Same ad in my marvel and DC titles. Very nice to see. Might be able to get a scan done when I get home from work in about 6 hours.
The Revenants and Vengeance Imperium-Triumph, Champion & now flavoring Justice!
Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!
Shhh! Rangle is plotting.
It seemed like there was a GR ad in every single comic book I got last week! Here's one of them:
That is great! Happy to hear that Going Rogue has print ads, let alone in comic books. Woot!

Ooh, I'd like to see this, yes...
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Also noticed some adds on various game related sites in banners and boxes.
And MMORPG.com is currently hosting a GR sweepstakes with the top prize being a 5870 card and input on naming an NPC in GR. Many other good prizes over there. Has center placement currently on their homepage.
Finally some visible marketing presence for the game!

Gimme a few minutes here, I'll see if I can find scan in both ads...
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
Here's Ad A, found in Uncanny X-Men (and it's possibly the Marvel ad).
And here's Ad B, found in Justice Society of America, (and possibly the DC ad).
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
The Maelstrom one was in all my DC books, so I'm guessing you're right, that's the DC one. I don't read Marvel...
Desdemona needs more hot booty.
Awesome. Thanks for giving us the looksie.

Maelstrom's eyes look like he's had enough caffeine that he could get bit by a rattlesnake and not notice for three days.

Ummm...
Would be nice if they noted it was a supers genre MMORPG somewhere in the ad in case some folk never heard of it.

If they can't figure it out, they should be in a special ed. class, not playing an MMO.

And it still doesn't address the lack of explaining this is an MMORPG.
There are some very popular commercials that are notorious in the marketing world in that people who remember the commercial can't remember what was being advertised.
It's as simple as:
"For six years City of Heroes has been the most popular and widely acclaimed MMORPG of super powered heroes and villains."

If only this ad was printed on something they would have in their house with a website url on it. Then we wouldn't have to worry about them seeing it in passing and not remembering they wanted ot check it out.

Bit off topic, but the third screenshot in each ad, the one with the blue hero... is that costume pattern available in-game? I can't seem to find it.
EDIT: I just realized that's Neuron... never mind!
I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see a full page ad for GR in the DC comic I picked up today. Surprised that it was in a DC book while they are also advertising for their own DCUO game and happy because it is a natural place to advertise CoX.
