Heroes: Volume 1

It's becoming quite popular for television shows utilize a different form of media to tell part of its story. Comics, novels, video games and more are all factored in the Hollywood marketing machine now more than ever. During the first season of NBC's Heroes, those behind the show produced an online series of beautifully drawn graphic novels that told tales that played directly into what occurred during the program.

Heroes: Volume One compiles those aforementioned graphic novels into hardback book form. They are presented in chronological order, so, if you have the DVD set, you could easily watch the shows and read the book in sequence. Each chapter fits along nicely with the show's overall mythology by giving new insight into the backstory of some of the more mysterious characters and showing events that were too expensive for them to film.

If you missed these while they were posted on NBC's website, picking this up is highly recommend. It really helps clear up some of the more confusing aspects of the show.
