City of Heroes Comic Issue #1
Just got the first Top Cow issue today.
It was fairly good. I always like Waid's writing. The power dampeners are a neat plot device, so it should lead to some interesting stories until they get that fixed up.
Glad to see those crazy surviving heroes in action here at least, seeing as they never do anything else. I wonder what this storyline will mean for the game, if anything.

Yep, I bought mine at the local comic shop.
I'm glad they are covering these heroes now. I was expecting that before and was disappointed. So this is a welcome change.

Agreed.
They could at least give the trianers one or two basic power animations and have them act like the police drones! Somethings just not right when you get killed (err, defeated) by an ambush or train right in front of one trainers!!

Great comic... well, a heck of a lot better than the origional, at least. As with anything that kicks off a plot arc, the first issue was more "expository stuff happens" than anything, but hopefully that's all taken care of.
From a writing standpoint, though, it's a shame they did'nt show us the Freedom Phalanx working together more effectively before all this happened. Cause, outside of a few trailers and such, this is the first I've seen them acting as a team, and the comic does'nt paint a very good picture. With good reason... they just went through hell. But still.

Actually, that's an EXTREMELY good idea. There have been many times I've been attacked while deciding on what Power to take or slot. I suspect people train MOBs on those spots, too, just for that reason.

The problem with having the trainers fight, is not all of them have range attacks.
While it's easy, for say, Positron to just blast guys near him, others like Ms. Liberty, don't have range attacks (being a scrapper). Which would mean they would have to MOVE to attack, and that would disrupt those trying to train.
(A solution, though, would be to have a freedom corp hero around some of them, which would do a similar job.)
(Also, some heros are by another hero. So, while Valkyrie has only melee attacks, Positron can help out.)
