The 700 comics.

Hey guys, just a quick question.

After completing the main story and every side mission (minus one Xtreme Race, had to jet for work), I was kind of hoping an upgrade to do with tracking the comics would appear to mop up the last 250 I need.

I'm not in the mood to sit down with a map of Manhattan and cross out the comics I've gotten. I did that for Crackdown back in the day and still managed to miss one :P

So, simple question. Do you ever get the ability to just see where the comics are on your map?

Once you reach 500 Comics they start to appear on your map (only the mini-map, not the global one).

It's only easy until you've only got 2 comics left Lol. That's where I'm at.

I started from the bottom of the map and went back and forth a block at a time til I found the last 200. Some seemed to appear/not appear based on how far away I was by height (Street level or top of very tall building) but most showed up w/in a 2-3 block radius no prob

Try find it by far top of buliding and even few of flying comic is hard to see since some areas too much bright. You could try turn down bright it might help to see flying comic.

When you finish the story, you can select what time of day you want it to be every time you leave the apartment. Set it to Night and the glow from the comic pages is much easier to spot.

Also, all 700 aren't there from the start. It seems like the game respawns them randomly as you go through the game, as I've picked more than one up from the same space. It's only when you get to the final 200 that they're in fixed positions that show up on the minimap.

So basically getting all 700 isn't that hard - just keep swinging around and grabbing them whenever you see them, then once you get to 500 it's just a process of elimination. It only took me a few hours to get the last two hundred.

Took forever finding my last comic, turns out it was flying above Oscorp. Height is a major problem with the radar so got to the tops of all the biggest buildings. Good Luck

Was really easy to get the last 200 comics. I'm glad the last 9 were all close to eachother so I didnt have to roam around looking for the last one.

I got my last two comics too. I went round aimlessly for them but couldn't find them so I thought I'd do the rest of the infected civilian rescues and the first two I did, the yellow dots were hiding under them. I laughed.

the fact that it was my 10th achievement seems odd.
