		<description>Heroes is closer to X-Men than &lt;i&gt;Demo&lt;/i&gt;, if I had to put them on a scale. Heroes still deals with people with powers as heroes and the impact of that on a global scale - I like the show's take on the genre. &lt;i&gt;Demo&lt;/i&gt; is more about Small People and their Small Lives.</description>

		<description>“Demo is what X-Men would have been if it had been conceived of in the 21st century.”

Man that sounds like "Heroes".  But then, this is a thing I'd like to see as less of an anomaly, and more of a standard.  The superhero genre has let that original "disguise to conceal my true identity" thing mushroom into this elaborate, formalized Noh Theatre of costumes, tights, secret identities, and a bunch of other generally strange things that don't make sense to most people and tend to turn them off from the whole genre.

It's good to see it getting back to its roots.</description>

		<description>Haha, I like that sort of stuff to. Some of the stories in &lt;i&gt;Demo&lt;/i&gt; acknowledge the fact that even with a power, some people will not have the scope or vision to do what a more altruistic person would. It's not presented in a negative way - it's just that consideration of the world at large, outside of the microcosm of the the one person's experience, is not even brought into the picture.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed her stuff in &lt;i&gt;Flight&lt;/i&gt; - it was like tattoo art turned into sequential art.</description>

		<description>I'm such a geek that you had me at "Demo is what X-Men would have been if it had been conceived of in the 21st century." =)

It seems like areal good read actually. I do really like the over the top factor of superheroes in tights and gaudy colors, but the modern feel and take on the story seems to be something I'd enjoy. In the end, what attracts me to superheroes or people with superpowers is the eternal conflict in their situations: if you are less of a human, are you also less humane or should you have a duty to be more so? Are you suddenly better than others, or are you a freak? And should you risk your own life, constantly and unbudging to save others, even though they might never accept you?

Now to see if I can find it in Sweden...</description>

		<description>I haven't yet gotten to read East Coast Rising, though the artwork I've seen for it was nice. I haven't seen Flight either, I'll look into that. I really wish I could find the little black and white comics I sent her like 10 bucks for back in the day before all this. :D</description>

		<description>I'm not so sure about volume 1, but the upcoming volume 2 is from Vertigo, which means it'll most likely be available in the UK.</description>
