As you can tell by the title of this article, NBC's smash hit HEROES is making it's return but NOT in the way any of us had originally hoped.
The hit sci-fi superhero show that ended with an ultimate cliff hanger will be returning hopefully in early 2014 as a comic book.
The series will pick up where we left off at the end of season four with the lovely Claire falling off the high rise at the circus.
According to the author of this reboot/return Cullen Bunn, the first issue(s) will center around Claire and the recent outing of the mutant population.
Bunn, being a huge fan of Sylar and Hiro as well, will feature issues about each character along with the rest of the ensemble in sort of a rotation type storyline.
An artist has not been announced at this time, but the art would be consistent with that of Tim Sale's artwork in the TV Series and as of this writing and announcement, there seems to be no collaboration with the series creator Tim Kring.
Being a huge fan of the show, you can only imagine the anticipation one has with the debuting issue of Heroes: The Comic Book. The story will pick up with all previous existing characters and in-turn will introduce new and exciting characters for audiences to follow.
Pure speculation on my part, but if the comic book flies off the shelf and becomes a number one hit, one can only hope that with the recent trend of comic Books to movies that Heroes would follow suit. This way, this author and thousands of other superfans could see the beautiful Hayden Panettiere on the big screen and for old time's sake, hopefully in a cheerleader outfit!
As always, check back regularly to see what Chris "The Dace Man" Dace is looking at (and no, not just porn) as well as all other bloggers here at Fanboys Anonymous for updates on Heroes and other coverage from this year's San Diego Comic-Con.
So for The Few, The Proud, and of course The Dacetacular...grab a beer, or in this case SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD...and check out what's going on here in the Dace-Sphere.
See ya next time!
