Heroes Graphic Novels: Expanding the Heroes Experience

I have just started reading the online graphic novels that fill in the gaps on Heroes, but what I've read has been great. The books are made by a virtual who's who of comic creators, so everyone should check them out.

They are available to read online, or download here.

Thank you for the link, Crow. Here are some direct links to the downloadable versions, for those that don't want to go through the site. Just right click, and click Save Target.

So far, these have been great, and can stand alone, or flesh out the exisiting heroes universe. Aspen studios (Soulfire/Fathom) is doing the art, and the writers of the show are handling the story. They're really a great read.

You're both very welcome.

This last issue was pretty cool, makes Hana seem less psycho.

They've also revealed that the graphic novels will continue, even when the show has gone on hiatus for spring and for summer.

That's even cooler. That way we can get our Heroes fix even though the show is on hiatus.

Exactly. For instance, this last Hiatus, they introduced us to Hana, and gave us a lot of the reasons why she does what she does.

I've been downloading a couple of these chapters every day. I'll have them all downloaded by the end of the week. Now I just have to find time to read them all. I'm sure I'll do it at work. I have way too much free time there.

Once you get started, keeping up is pretty easy.

There's a rumor that it's going to be collected by Season into Graphic Novels to be released. I haven't heard anything else about it, though.

That would be a good idea.

I've read the first 7 novels now. You are right that it isn't that hard. They are short enough for some pretty quick reading.

You should jbs, most of them have pretty good art. I think most are also 5-6 pages long, at most. If you view the "Interactive" version, most of them have easter eggs if you click on a certain pages.

Some of them are behind the scenes pictures, some of them are pictures of Isaac's art.....just a mix, really.
