HEROES Volume One, by Marcus To, Tim Sale, Michael Layne Turner, Phil Jimenez

5.0

This volume is chock full of brilliant little stories that either slot in between specific scenes from the show or provide a little backstory or continuation for a character or scenario. Each story is incredibly short, but nicely tells their tail. The afterword does say that these stories were written so that those who have not watched the show could still enjoy them, but I would say it is a definite advantage to have seen it. Most of the characters from season one do get a focus, though the Petrelli family do take a back seat. The highlight story arc for me featured Wireless, a character who was on screen for about 1 second. Her story was told over several chapters and it's a real shame she didn't get to feature more in the show. A really enjoyable companion to the world of Heroes. The art is pretty good too, with each story featuring one of Isaac's paintings.
