This was another fun collection of stories fleshing out the characters in Heroes seasons 1 and 2 a little more. Is this required reading? No, of course not, but this does give a little back story behind the characters and maybe even provide a little motivation for their actions. Each story is only a few pages long, with a couple of stories serialised over many parts. I would say this is not quite as good as Volume One, but was still very enjoyable. The artwork changed a little between stories, but not hugely so and was pretty good throughout.

I first read this book before watching the series, and it didn't make any sense. I was angry that I didn't get any of it - but then I watched the series, and it (of course) makes much more sense. I really enjoyed it and the back story of the different characters was very interesting! The art was amazing as well - the different styles are very cool to look at!

I loved this volume so much more than the first one! The Haitian's back story with his father in their village, Candice's teenage years, the wives of Takezo Kensei and learning more about Noah and Elle's earlier cases were among my favorites. I'd recommend both volumes to any fans of the show but if you don't love Volume 1 (it was just ok for me), don't give up.

Well I really liked that.
For fans of season one if Heroes, these little snippets tell stories between and around the episodes. For newcomers, welcome to the world of Heroes, where people are discovering they have abilities, a la X Men, but without the costumes.
Many of these tales revolve around Wireless, and we get to see her character develop and grow. Heroes from the show of course appear, and we get episodes from the future as well, and they directly link into the show's episodes.
I would say if you haven't seen Heroes then you may want to read this alongside it, as it doesn't read as a straight forward comic story - it's only part of a larger world. But for fans of the show, this is well worth checking out.
Beautiful art work, compelling characters, and interesting plot points adding to the visual story.

Still great stuff, still handy to have seen season one. Wireless is my favourite character and I wish she'd been on screen.
