Comic Expo is over, and for everyone attending from here at NCsoft Europe, it was an absolute blast - albeit a ‘full-on, extremely tiring, we’re still recovering from it’ sort of blast. For two days we met players, got sketches sketched, answered questions and demonstrated games - while giving away a whole bunch of goodies to everyone who came within grabbing distance.

If you were there, then we thank you for coming - in some cases from as far away as Denmark and Belgium! If you weren’t there, then sorry you missed out; hopefully we can entice you into turning up to the next event that NCsoft attends.

For now though, here’s a few images and commentary - just to give you an idea of what Comic Expo was all about. (Obvious warning: large images ahead.)

NCsoft’s two major events for November are drawing ever closer, and while i26 is on this weekend, here at CoH Central we’re looking forward expectantly to Comic Expo, happening on November 19th and 20th in Brighton at the Hilton Metropole Hotel.

We thought it was high time that we gave you an update on what’s going on there, so here we go....

Then get over to DriveThruRPG.com, register yourself for a free account and you’ll be able to download a 40-page ‘Quickplay Pack’ for Eden Studios’ forthcoming City of Heroes pen and paper RPG.

The Quickplay Pack includes all the rules you need to play an introductory adventure, which appropriately enough is based on the in-game ‘Outbreak’ tutorial. Statistics and additional background info is included on six of the Vindicators supergroup, including familar faces such as Mynx, Luminary, Swan, Infernal, Ms. Liberty and Malaise.

We’re very pleased to unveil the brand new City of Heroes European website, where all City of Heroes players will be able to get the latest news about events in and around Paragon City and the City of Heroes game. Come in and take a look around.

While you’re here, be sure to volunteer for our Hall of Fame - a collection of the finest guardians of Paragon City. Speaking of our mighty metropolis, if you come across anything truly astonishing while fighting evil and injustice, let your fellow heroes know about it by submitting it to our City Sights section.

In these dark days, heroes need all the allies, information and aid they can find. If you have a website dedicated to City of Heroes, be sure to join our Fansite Alliance.

Finally, don’t forget that you can keep an eye on the activities of the villainous inhabitants of the Rogue Isles over at the City of Villains European website - forewarned is forearmed.
