This image from the online comic is excellent.
Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!
Did you mean the one from the end of the issue? It seemed to link to just the whole issue.
Did it?
Yes, I meant the one at the end.
Can I just say, for the record, that I am deeply pleased that they're continuing the comic over the summer?
Hopefully there will be spoilers.
I've worked in older NYC buildings that have just plain old glass windows that open and close. Love them.
I didn't have a problem with Peter not being able to fly; I accepted that he was giving everything to containing his Flamey Hands of Fire. But I did feel letdown by the final confrontation. I mean, you don't even have to show much of a battle for it to impress... in Five Years Gone, his first battle was very short, and his final battle wasn't even shown except in flashes of light. I would have been fine with most of it offscreen if it were done right, but it just seemed that very few of the powers we've been shown actually came into play in that confrontation. Or maybe Five Years Gone spoiled me.
The fight choreography has been noticeably substandard on the show from day 1, though occasionally they've had stunts that looked good (like Peter tossing Claude off that rooftop). I wonder if Spiro Razatos or Mike Massa would be available?
It's a tradeoff -- if Heroes were a feature film, they'd have the budget for major SFX battles, but we'd only get two hours or so to fit a big story into. Police trucks going ass over teakettle are going to be used sparingly with a weekly series.
I'd have settled for Nikki getting a few more good, convincing hits in, and using CGI for some blood sprays out of Sylar in place of one of the white eyed fast-forwards we got.
I have just been watching some of the earlier episodes on-line, and now I am wondering how exactly saving the cheerleader saved the world?
