In-Game Comics! :D

Here's an idea - Let the players read the CoH comics from an ingame interface! They could go to a comic store or something, and even earn a badge for reading every comic! Maybe even have a know-it-all NPC in the store somewhere, who knows everything about the game lore - and will tell you anything you need to know about the history of Paragon City!
=D There could even be some mission arcs that start there, some hidden basement rooms that act as easter eggs, etc... I've actually got tons of ideas that are all completely unrelated lol... Another one is - when I first started playing CoH I was reading about contacts, and I misunderstood what they were and thought they were alter egos. But that would be awesome though wouldn't it? You could even let players actually work at their day jobs haha! Earn influence, temporary powers, badges, costume parts, recipies, enhancements, etc... Maybe even make it where you could do undercover work as a civilian? Like you could become a kidnap victim, and eavesdrop on your kidnappers - and get tips that way! Or even join one of the NPC villain groups (Freakshow/Hellions/Circle/etc), and earn their trust to a point where they allow you the presence of their leader - and then you suit up and - THWAP! Whoop em. Lol I got lots of ideas but thats just a few.

/unsigned.

Sharkers one-liner trademark aside, I think theres a few too many ideas without enough depth to them all in one post to really comment on.

And Welcome to the Forums =]

Here's an idea for in-game comics:

How about, when you finish a mission arc and get your souvenir that sums up what happened over the course of the adventure, you also get a 'comic' version of souvenir? Think about how the cutscene tech works in the game...now just freeze those into comic panels...now expand upon that so there's more panels of game-screens with text bubbles that tell the story while the pictures show the story.

I kinda had the idea recently when I picked up my Dual Blades stalker (I shift my attention from one character to another before they get 'too fun' so I get antsy to go back ) and I was reading her souvenirs to remember which missions she did. It hit me that...it would be much more entertaining if I could see pictures cause pictures make books better ^_^.

I like the whole comic book store idea. Not too sure about the others though.
