Chapter 35: It Takes a Village
It’s Graphic Novel day once again! Chapter 35: It Takes a Village was posted to the official Heroes website today. This issue is part one of a four-part series. The graphic novel comes in two flavors: interactive or printable [PDF].
If you’re not familiar with the graphic novel, you should be! (You can read all of the past graphic novels here.) In most cases they pick up right where the television show leaves you and fill in additional back story between episodes.
A brief introduction to this week’s graphic novel after the jump.
Chapter 35: It Takes a Village (Part 1 of 4)
Who commands the loyalty of the man known only as “the Haitian”? Though he partnered for years with Noah Bennet, the man in horned-rimmed glasses, the Haitian turned against him to aid Claire, Bennet’s daughter. The he seemed to betray both to Claire’s grandmother, Angela Petrelli. Does he take orders from her … or answer ultimately to an even higher power?
Holy crap. Love the graphic novels. I’m so glad they’re getting to the Haitian. His back story was long overdue.
I agree with you. The Hatian has always been a fascianting character, however, do you really think that we need a FOUR partt graphic novel on him? I can understand the around-twentyish novels that Hana Gitelman has been in, because she is the internet chracter, but four graphic novels for a minor character is too much. Three would have been okay.
I for one am enjoying this story arc… I think it’s a good opportunity to develop his character further. They didn’t give him a lot of screen time during the first season, but he was an enigma. And I think people, myself included, are interested to learn more about him – much like how we were with Noah Bennet.
Anyways, whether it’s a three-part mini-series or a four-part is really a moot point, isn’t it? They’ve committed to doing graphic novels every week and they’ve got to fill up each week somehow.
Tristan,
what the heck are you talking about? 4 is too much but 3 is too many? where is this rulebook of yours that gives numbers to how many graphic novels can be written about TV characters?
That’s retarded. The whole idea of the comics are to do this and give us something to do. Each character has a large story but can only be showcased a bit. This gives us the opportunity to watch his actions, history, future, life in ways the show simply cannot in a 44 minute timeslot once a week with real-life actors.
Don’t be stupid.
