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. |

 LOST
Confirmed Dead
aka: "My Head A-Splode"
by Peter SorensenIn the second episode of Season Four, we meet the Fab Four: John, the smart one; Paul, the good looking one; George, the young one: and Ringo, the skeezy one. Oh, sorry. Wrong Fab Four. We meet Dan, Miles, Charlotte, and Frank: the Boaties who have come to the island with brand new mysteries in tow.
Tonight's episode ended and I stood up from my chair, wandered into the kitchen, grabbed a cold Diet Mountain Dew from the fridge.
Muttered to myself.
I grabbed some Zingers from the pantry and sat back down in my chair, kicked the footrest up. Worn cigarette holder clenched furiously between my teeth and with sweetly sugared caffeine flowly freely through my veins, I unplugged my tablet PC from the AC adapter and set it on my lap. My hands rested lightly on the keyboard. What words could possibly, and more to the point accurately, describe the myriad of throughts cascading through my head at this very moment?
Well, let's see... How about:
"WHAT THE IS GOING ON WITH THIS ISLAND??!!"

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! |

 In the season premiere of Lost, the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 find themselves divided when it's revealed that the Boaties are not who they say they are. Naomi gets some more screen time, Hurley gets some bad news, Jack gets a little payback, and Locke gets away.
Watching Lost tonight was like throwing a college party: Things start off pretty slow, people trickle in, casual chit-chat is made. Maybe someone turns on a decent MP3 playlist and everyone starts mixing drinks and getting chatty. As time goes on, it gets a little busier, but still pretty relaxed and fun. Then, without warning, some spectacular drunk kicks in the door, downs an entire bottle of Jaegermeister in one swig, licks your girlfriends neck, and proceeds to destroy all your furniture with an axe while screaming Metallica lyrics at the top of his lungs.
Lost is that spectacular drunk... hide the good furniture. |

 Marvel Comics has been subtlely (or maybe not-so-subtlely) hiding references to the hit TV show "Lost" in their comics.
25 titles (possibly more), over the course of the last month, have included Lost posters, Oceanic Airlines banners, and various text references, including "Find Yourself", "Find815.com", "The Lost... Are Found", and the number 6. From Amazing Spiderman to the X-Men, no comic was safe from this sneaky marketing campaign between ABC and Marvel Comics.
Did you spot them?
We poured over page after page of comics to find them all, and we've got them all for you right here. |
