Heroes (2006): Online Graphic Novel

February 4th 2007 04:17
Heroes: Online Graphic Novel

Heroes
Why do I have to save the world?


Finally premiering in Oz last Wednesday night at 8.30pm on Channel 7, John Doe posted a review for Heroes a while back, click the link to read it and also watch the first 8 minutes of the show.


After having a double episode screening of the season return last night, I remembered how cool the Heroes online graphic novel series was and thought interested readers deserved a little heads up.

It’s only fitting that a show which takes all it’s p’s and q’s from comic books should it self become one. Low on spoilers, each online issue looks at a characters background and fills in some blanks that are hinted at on the small screen.

Unfortunatley due to copyright and a lack of technical expertise I can't display a frame from the high quality comic to give you a taste of the bold visuals. Instead click HERE to view the entire story on the official site.



I recommend checking out the same site for wallpapers, screensavers, video interviews with cast and crew as well as lots more.

Someone recently told me about this, and it looks like it's getting massively popular. Good tip, John!

Hi JohnD,

...this looks interesting, I'll have a look, then let you know if I watch more than five episodes... *lol* you know I'll have to wait for the boxed sets, if I like it, as I cannot watch commerical(s) TV *twitch, twitch*

thanks for the heads up

Hi Cib,
If you are comic book fan itis must see, for the rest, not as much. Did you follow the link to read my review?




Lilla,
This show would be revolting to watch on commercial TV. Luckily I got them sent from the US and when I saw them all last november my girlfriend and I watched the whole thing within 24 hrs.

Heroes doesn't fully hit its stride till about half way through (once the set up is complete) so I recommend sticking with it.

You can watch the first ten minutes of the pilot episode if you follow the link to my review, enjoy.
