City of Heroes ... the Game!
I suppose it's very nice that City of Heroes is going to be turned into a conventional role playing game, but I can't say I'm terribly excited by it. I mean, there are any number of keen supers RPG systems out there (which I'd enjoy playing), and I'm not sure that either the online-engendered limitations or the setting of Paragon City would be what I'd be looking for in a supers campaign.
Not to mention that combat resolution would seem (if like most RPGs) so slow, compared to the online rendition.

Don't forget about City of Heroes: The CCG, from AEG. My long-standing love of the company's games means I'll have to give it a whirl.

Yeah, I saw that. And in some ways, a CCG makes more sense for CoH than an RPG (though I'm a lot less likely to do it than an RPG, too).

At least the comic is now going to be written by Mark Waid!

I saw that, too, which should be good news. I wasn't all that impressed by the one issue of the comic I have thus far, and Waid's a pretty reliable talent.
