Really a great add-on to the TV series. Love the covers (and the price increase over time) of the comic books within this volume.
Published anthology of the free Heroes webcomics posted on NBC.com. Not essential, but a fun diversion nonetheless.
I absolutely loved this and it really just made me want to re-watch Heroes!!
Heroes: Volume One is a collection of the 34 online comics that were created based off of season one for the popular NBC show Heroes. These comics depict a mix of characters that have abilities and their path toward overcoming the problems and dangers that arise as a result.
While I enjoy graphic novels and mangas, I have always struggled to read comics. The short format and story plots just never seemed to grab my attention. That being said, I found this volume to be wonderful. It had everything I loved about the series and more. While I wished it went into more depth for my favorite character, Hiro and Peter, I found the background and stories for the lesser known characters to be a nice addition. Hannah Gitelman (aka Wireless) is a perfect example. Wireless was someone I did not really think much of in the show but grew to admire immensely from the comics.
5/5 Stars
I would recommend this collection of comics to anyone who likes a story about people with abilities or stories with an action packed plot. While it is geared towards those who have watched the show, it would still be enjoyable to those who have not. I am very much looking forward to reading the second volume.

I absolutely loved the show and when I finished it, I wasn't ready to let go so I figured I needed to read the comics. This one didn't really do much for me. There were sections that I enjoyed because it gave a nice back story to the characters (namely Petrelli & Linderman) but to me it didn't seem to differ enough from the show as I was expecting it to. It seemed to be more of a recap of what we already knew with a bit of extra thrown in. That big said, Volume 2 is much better, in my opinion and differs quite substantially from the show.

I think I need to start this show because this plot is awesome!
I think its cool that they gave some background to the actual show characters and the drawing are awesome
