Blog Exclusive: Your (Sorta) Complete Guide to Heroes

So Season Three of Heroes is just around the corner, and while I have been admittedly critical of the shortcomings of last season, from what I've seen in commercials and previews, the third volume looks phenomenal! Check out this awesome two minute preview:



While it's really Spider-Man 3-esque, I love the black/red split screen used throughout this ad campaign. And speaking of esque....how much does this whole Mohinder-creating-an-injection-that-gives-people-abilities thing remind you of the Promicin war of The 4400?

I think the greatest fault of Volume Two, which was titled "Generations," was that it ultimately failed to deliver what it had promised, whether explicitly or implicitly. We were supposed to learn all about the previous generation of heroes (and villains, I suppose), and a general history of The Company. However, we really didn't get that. We still don't know what Hiro's father can do, or what Mrs. Petrelli can do, or what Charles' ability is.... You get the point. Yes, I recognize that the season was cut short by the strike, but the things clearly were not on track to wrap up in a climatic matter.

And I'm STILL pissed we didn't get that Claire/Elle smackdown.

Anyway, to commemorate the introduction of the "Villains" chapter of Heroes, I thought I'd offer up this complete guide to every single Heroes column I have ever written. ENJOY! And, of course, comments are encouraged!
