sherydenThe new Heroes online comic is up on nbc.com. I love that they have these for the show, because they fill in some important blanks. This issue was pretty interesting. It focuses on Hiro and gives insight into what motivates him.
This takes place after Hiro returns from New York. After he teleports back to the subway in Tokyo, Hiro realizes what he's just seen--New York will be destroyed by a bomb. He hurries back to his apartment and digs through his stuff until he finds a copy of Action Comics #1. Now, as a comic collector, what Hiro does next freaked me out a little--do you people realize how much Action Comics #1 is worth? Anyway, he proceeds to rip the comic up and make it into a little origami crane.
Origami in hand, Hiro goes to the cemetary to visit his grandfather's grave. We find out that his grandfather (who died from cancer) is the person who gave him the Action Comics #1. He tells his grandfather that he finally realizes why he gave him the comic--he wanted Hiro to understand diginity and what it means to be a hero. With renewed purpose, Hiro places the crane on the grave and resolves to own up to the responsibility that goes along with his abilities and to be the kind of hero who would make his grandfather proud.
