Early CoH Comics

Very early on, there was a series of comedic comic strips about life in CoH.

Examples:
1. A group of heroes waits impatiently while their teammate uses hover to reach the rooftip.

2. The heroes rescue a damsel in distress on a roof, she then leaps to the street below unharmed. One exclaims, "Um, why do they need us exactly?"

3. There used to be a bug where civilians walked into a sewer entrance and got into a backflip loop. A hero joins in the fun.

4. A hero grins when his rescuee exclaims "How can I EVER repay you?"

Would be nice to locate and preserve those. Are they still available anywhere?

It was indeed PVPonline. The CoH DVD special edition came with a whole booklet of these.
Here are a couple of the page-sets. I can scan in the rest later if anyone wants.



First day I played this game I remember thinking... wait we take the subway to fight crime???
I then opened the bonus booklets and laughed myself silly... Go Go Justice Mass Transit! Indeed.

Thanks! That would be great to get the entire series posted here, seems to be some missing from their website.

That was hilarious. Did they ever have a strip or two about City of Heroes closing, and I don't mean the one about City of Gyros I read that one already.


Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

Oh god! LOL

I've been saying "Go Go Justice Mass Transit!" Whenever I take the train for YEARS now.

Occasionally someone else on the team will catch the reference.

I had to laugh that Street Justice WAS added to the game and you do get to knee 'em in the jimmy regularly.


Be well, people of CoH.

Hmmm not sure. I don't remember one off hand but I could've missed it.

You my friend are not alone.
I too have done that for years. Sometimes the team gets it but mostly not... Philistines.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too with my post at the end of the comics.
