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!

Trust my rage

it just makes being a fan feel like work.

Jessica does such a good job of summarizing. For me, the source of my frustration is that my computer time is very limited. I sneak in here during work, but I don't really have time to be looking for online comics or voting on stuff. Doens't mean I won't watch the show, but I'm a completist and it bugs that I'm not getting the whole thing.

What is even happening?

What Jess and Stephanie said. I'm not feeling so negative, victor. I'm feeling lazy for trying to avoid feeling stressed out over a TV show.

I do wish the comics were discussed in regular black font in here, though. I am just never going to read them, but wouldn't mind seeing their happenings incorporated into our discussion here. The thread header describes the thread as being for discussion of the show and ancillary materials such as web comics.

I'm hoping the comics will be on the DVDs as an extra myself. My biggest problem with them is navigating them on the web - neither format option they have is user friendly; I'm hoping they might be easier as a photo gallery item on a DVD.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I apologize about sounding so dismayed, and I have to admit, I agree about the navigation on the Web comics. But for the most apart, I do think Kring and co. have done a good job of providing extras that add depth and texture to the world they've created, without making them so essential that you're lost if you don't watch them, although I see why it can be annoying if you're constantly reminded they exist (as you would be on this and other boards.)

But I don't think you can fault them for searching for ways to hook in viewers and keep their attention, especially in this business climate, and I appreciate their willingness to constantly flesh out their world.

Art Crawl!!!

From the Zap2it article about the "spin-off" it sounds like it's a group of standalone episodes that will air while Heroes is in repeats or on hiatus. Is that really too difficult to negotiate?

(I like the comics but I do find them difficult. What I really want is a paper version of the comics to come with the dvds.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

No way! That's hilarious.

I've been downloading the PDF version of the comics. It's a much easier read that way.

His message included asking to visit his website at votepetrelli.com which is a bit different today too. [link]

Usually when I don't recognize the caller id I don't answer. Almost wish I hadn't because then I would have the recording.

Neat! I haven't gotten a call yet. I did register with the site, so I hope I get one. I'm easily amused.
