NBC’s Heroes (2006) started strong but lost its way—though what’s often overlooked is that it was also one of the biggest transmedia storytelling experiments ever attempted.
Alongside the show, NBC released graphic novels, webisodes, and the massive ARG-style experience Heroes Evolutions—which included interactive websites, iStories, and digital content that expanded the universe beyond TV.
Years ago, I made a spreadsheet [linked here] mapping out every piece of Heroes media in release order—week by week. It’s the best way to experience the full story as it was meant to be consumed, including Heroes Reborn (2015) and its attempt to continue the expanded universe.
