I've finally finished my 2nd comic for newer players, although some non-comic related stuff meant that I wasn't quite able to get it done in
time for the launch of Freedom yesterday







Here's the link to the full comic.

I'm hoping to put together a PDF version quite soon, but until then, people can just use the links on each page to flip through them.

Also, as there have been a couple of big changes to the game since I started work on the comic, that means that a couple of panels are now out
of date - and timeline-wise, the Praetorian invasion in May and the destruction of Galaxy City this month means that this comic is set a few months
back from the present time.

Beautifully rendered, GG. The artwork is lovely and being a Silver-Age kind of guy, I liked the story, too.

That took a tremendous amount of work and had to be a labor of love. Thank you for the effort!

"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Good comic, fun to read!

Though it reminds me more than ever how horrid Mynx's outfit is! The girl needs a makeover, badly! Devs, get on it!

That's the first time I've checked out one of your comics. It was beautifully rendered, informative, and well written. Kudos!

Story Arcs I created:

Every Rose: (#17702) Villainous vs Legacy Chain. Forget Arachnos, join the CoT!

Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!

Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!

With the first comic, didn't you have PDF issues that made you go with the .cbz format? That would work again. I would definitely like a downloadable version.

One of the members of the CoH LiveJournal page managed to make my first comic into a PDF without losing too much of the picture quality, so I'll try and find them to help out again

It's a popular reading choice amongst the crime-fighting community

I even included the traditional pounce-huggle greeting

Nicely done, Golden Girl!

The amount of work that goes into this kind of thing boggles my mind. Thank you for sharing, and good luck with getting it into a PDF form.

WOW! Fabulous job, GG! It's just beautiful, thank you!

PS Loved the *pounce huggle* catgirl the very best

I wonder how many here are old enough to have played Tunnels and Trolls...

Thank you GG! From one page to the next I just couldn't put it down. The personal back-and-forth between the characters really made me care about them all. Awesome!

"Tunnels and Trolls?"

I better have a mention there concerning the latter.

It was suggested to me by an insanely geeky friend

Talking of characters, while Steelwall was just another generic new hero like Flash-man, Red Dragon actually belongs to @Todogut, and Terminal Velocity belongs to @Bullet Barrage
