Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities
Heroes;
On Monday night NBC has a new hit show that I've been waiting for, for a long time. Anyone that likes the whole idea abouts special powers, whether this is in comics, tv or movies should watch this show!
Synopsis;
The show is about just some general people who thought they're like everyone else, until they woke with incredible abilities. These abilities vary from person to person, but they're all needed to save the world.
They all start of in different places, but as the show progresses (without spoilers, ep 5 has been aired until now) they all start to come together one way or another.
Novels;
Cool thing is, after each show has been aired, NBC uploads a novel that picks up where they left of with insight into the characters of the show (drawn by Aspen Comics)!
So do you want to know how Mohinder got his job as a Taxi driver? Wanna know how DL got out? Take a look and download the .PDF comic novel right after the show airs over at www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/!

Closing words;
So, what do you guys think of the show? Who is your favorite character and what do you think would be the best ability to have?
Yo, I just got turned on to this show today, 2 episodes in and its pretty good...Any of you ever watch it..? Comes on NBC...From what I can tell, its kind of like xmen, a researcher i checking out the mutation of the human genome that will spark the next evolutionary step in mankind...So far, I've met an invulnerable girl, a dude that cand bend space and time, a guy and his brother that can fly, and junkie that can see the future...
Pretty cool show so far, all I know is HDTV rocks..!
