Heroes and the Comic Book Revolution

By: Groshan Fabiola
 

The comic book revolution in today's modern pop culture has been more or less unheralded. Although a major coup in the world of geekdom, the mainstream press has regarded the increase in mass-market comic book entertainment as nothing more than a passing trend.

The popularity of comic book entertainment is no trend, nor will it pass any time soon. For no other reason than stubbornness, the bigwigs in charge of the entertainment industry had, in the past, not given comic books and their fans the proper due. There has always been an audience for big-budget super hero films, but those films were never treated with respect until the year 2000. As this insightful BuddyTV article shows, the release of the Bryan Singer directed "X-Men" in 2000 set the wheels in motion for the evolution of comic book entertainment. Since "X-Men's" massive success, the studio heads have changed their tune and are now fully committed to satiating the rabid super hero fan base.

Now that comic books have conquered the big screen, it was time for them to turn their attention to television. "Heroes" on NBC is a shining example of what the comic book culture can bring to a wide, national television audience. Comic books have provided serial drama long before the likes of "Lost" and "24" did. Frankly, there is no better medium for comic books than television; the stories can take their time to build and evolve. Heroes has done its very best to please comic die-hards while also creating an engrossing drama appropriate for mass consumption.

For a wonderful and succinct recap of the evolution of comic book entertainment that eventually led to the creation of NBC's "Heroes", check out BuddyTV's smart and insightful article.
