Sooo awesome !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so hyped for this show... loved the original... well season one especially... but still i cannot wait for this and i hope it is a success to get a suprise renewal.
ReplyDeleteYES! Hail to the transmedia storytelling! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything Heroes: Reborn is doing is just increasing my excitement for the series. NBC needs to release the trailer.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting idea!
ReplyDeleteComicCon in July.
ReplyDeleteWould absolutely LOVE it if it's either Zachary Levi's character or Robbie Kay's character!! Either way, I'll definitely be reading/getting the comics
ReplyDeleteIt's the fad... Several of my film school professors, are expecting/hoping the subject to be changed from being an elective to becoming a part of the mandatory schedule in the next few years.
ReplyDeletethat would be awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteEh... it depends... it's good to have it at your disposal but what do really you need it for and how to you use it?
ReplyDeleteIs it a narrative tool or a promotional tool?
Ideally it should serve both but in reality it can be a bit of a double edged sword...
(and the approach they were taking with it in my program didn't really seem like a cause for enthusiasm and celebration for me personally... it lacked a sense of creativity, trying to force transmedia in a way that was too overwhelming and lost focus of what it was meant to be doing)
I would love the online comics again, those were great! I don't go to comic book stores
