If theyr'e doing this for the tutorial, I'm kinda wondering if they're also going to add comic screens for the new content in Atlas Park, as well as First Ward.

First ward is just a single panel of Hamidon crashing things with Cole looking out and saying "Awww... Shi-" The rest of his sentence is cut off by the panel.

Not only does she deserve better, but so do all the women who play this game. Have you forgotten how many of us there are?
How about giving her, and by extension all the women who play this game, some dignity? How about not making her look like an empty-headed sex object? What ever happened to all the squawking about "Having female pets for Masterminds would be sexist!"? Did you forget that argument? How about all us women who WANT female minions, and DO NOT want to be depicted as vapid second-rate heroes who are barely more than sidekicks? |
Paragon, you've revamped signature costumes before. This illustration drives home the need to give Sister Psyche a -real- costume. She's a super hero, not a porn-star. Or is that forever the role of females in the comic book universe? She's running around the city, almost completely naked with nothing more than a few bits of electrical tape for clothing, and people are supposed to take her seriously?
Her costume is an embarrassment.

This is awesome. I love DN's work in the CoH comics and think we need more comic screens in-game. I'd be really happy if the print comics or even digital comics started back, maby the sig arcs will satisfy that some. The other cool thing is now I should be able to start out a proper Nictus with this tutorial. Lots of good stuff coming to CoX.
EDIT: Eh, I like Sister Psyche's costume. Also I hope my current chars can do the new tutorial by Ouro.

I don't actually think her outfit is too bad - it's very similar to Fusionette's costume, which is a quite practical spandex one - ridiculous would be Swan's "outfit" |

we need more sexism. I'm sick to death of people referring to the female supers as "heroes"... thems "Heroines". Actor - Actress. Steward - Stewardess. Doctor - Nurse. Got it. More boobs please!
if this offends you, then I earned my cookie I'm currently eating.

regarding BAB's hair: many men go through hairstyle changes. BAB may be deciding dreadlocks don't fit his age anymore. In comparison, I think I read somewhere past that actor Jason Momoa was removing his dreadlocks due to the weight. bottom line: a new hairstyle doesn't make or break the Brawler. Changing race might, but seems to me he's in a hellstorm, so lighting would be wild.
I agree with many others here, Sister Psyche would not react this way. Swan might, but not SP. Only other female hero, I can think of, more in control and less likely to react fearfully would be the one that's even older, Lady Gray.
Speaking of Lady Gray, where's Vanguard in all this? Wouldn't Shivans fall into their jurisdiction?

I am disappointed over Sister Psyche's "porn face". Come on David, you're better than that.

I get the impression that she makes the Sister Psyche panic face for just about everything, like her phone ringing or someone knocking at the door |

Wow, this is exciting! That "hello, hello?" frame looks AWESOME. Feels like this is going to be an epic tutorial. The drawing with Sister P and BaB looks awesome as well, though I have to agree Sister P does look a bit too surprised given what we know of her. Overall though, nice job! I'm really impressed and excited! Can't wait!
PS - I would like to see her get a new costume, if for no other reason than it's pretty easy to replicate her look in-game. She needs something original!

I hope they get a chance to fix this -- the introductory comic is otherwise 100% awesome.

I quite like the artwork. Agreed BABs looks a little too light but otherwise it looks awesome. The way I read it is that if these long serving heroes, veterans of the Rikti War, Brass Monday and others are stunned and shocked at the level of destruction being wreaked on their city, it's got to be bad. And that just makes me feel like it's time for some dashing heroics.* 
The Coming Storm isn't just some tinpot dictator and his army of robots built by a moron, it's the potential destruction of the Earth itself. And if a shower of alien meteorites decimated my neighbourhood, I'd be pretty devestated too. Nice work DN.
*Or villainy. In time.
