It’s Graphic Novel day once again! Chapter 28, entitled “War Buddies: Introductions” was posted to the official Heroes website today. (It’s part five in a six-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 28: War Buddies - Introductions (Part 5 of 6)
After a tip from Mr. Bennet, Hana Gittelman breaks into the Pentagon in search of information. She finds a report of two soldiers, Dallas and Austin, and their mission up the river to rescue a downed airplane during the Vietnam War. En route, their squad is attacked and all are killed except Austin and Dallas, who is mortally wounded. Miraculously Austin heals Dallas with just his hands.
The two soldiers find the downed aircraft next to its target, a village that has abnormally large crops growing in its fields. They discover that the crops are created by Au Co, a young girl who has the ability to make vegetation grow at a rapid rate.
Dallas forces Austin to help him complete the mission by destroying the village. However, Austin wants to save this other “special” person. The two clash but Dallas is able to get off a shot — BANG!
