i’m a huge fan of the tv show, heroes. and i love illustrated books. so i was pretty stoked when friends gave me this gorgeous book for christmas.
the chapters in this book (each very short) were created, originally, as web comix for the show’s site. they were developed prior to and concurrently with the show’s script development. as a result, they’re complimentary to the show, as opposed to merely being a recap of the first season. there are characters who aren’t in the show, and scenes with the show’s characters that aren’t in the tv episodes.
that said, this book would be almost impossible to follow for someone who didn’t see the show.
the illustrations are stunning, and i really enjoyed it. but, ultimately, it’s a book for fans of the tv series.
loveitloveit!
Dude, that picture of Sylar in the background reminds me of some of your pictures in the short hair days!
A “fan” of Heroes, and yet you continue to ignore my spammish invitations to become a part of the Facebook app. Someone is feeling a bit snarky about being too good to waste his work day with other ministry types who like to “cut open heads,” I think.
tony — ah, yes, i am very miserly about what facebook apps i will add. how i hate getting 10 app requests per day!
love heros! i need to get this book.
