If it's one thing you can count on, it's the Nakamura clans' ability to make a good story.
Just as the best episodes of the TV show are usually Hiro-centric, the best issues of the comic usually involve his storyline, family, or enemies. Whether it's Ando fighting off Yakuza bikers to protect Kimiko, or Takezo Kensei reminiscing about his long life, or even the anime adventures of panda Hiro, they always amount to a great read, and this weeks issue is no different.
What's really fascinating is the way in which this weeks issue stays within the formulaic boundaries of the Heroes graphic novel style, while still branching out enough to be interesting. The art is incredible, moving between different styles and lighting in only a matter of pages, as well as some incredibly well laid-out panels that impressed even a skeptical reviewer such as myself. |

History of a Secret? More like Stretching of a Premise.
This week's issue of the Heroes graphic novel is a one-shot featuring a brand new character named Abu Aswan, an Egyptian with the ability to levitate and move extremely heavy objects. Also featured in the issue is fan-favorite Sanjog Iyer!
...don't worry, I didn't remember who he was either at first (he's the dream kid that Mohinder talked to back in season 1). So, yeah. Really bringing out the big guest stars, huh?
Anyway, Abu (not the monkey in Aladdin) is having difficulty understanding his place in the world, and why he has to hide his powers. If you didn't hear it, that's the sound of me falling out of my chair in surprise. Really? A Heroes character that is having problems coming to grips with his powers? Gasp! |

Wow. And I thought last weeks issue was bad.
In this week's issue of the Heroes Graphic Novel, ingeniously titled "The End of Hana and Drucker" we get to see... you guessed it! The end of Hana and Drucker! What a surprise!
Concluding the last four-issue story arc, this issue picks up where we left off last week, with the entire Company database being uploaded into Matt Neuenberg's brain to protect it from little Tron versions of Hana Gittleman and Richard Drucker. Just think, Hana and Drucker managed to escape that light cycle level, fight off all those floating hovertanks, and destroy the MCP just to get sucked into oblivion when Elle decides to "test the surge protection" with a blast of electricity.
That's right. They're dead by the second page.
...or are they? |
