In addition to the television series, NBC regularly releases short webcomics fleshing out the world of Heroes. The comics, which NBC refers to as graphic novels, are made available on their official website each Tuesday. Written by the show's writers and drawn by Aspen Comics, they are generally 7-9 pages long, the first page of which is always an advertisement for a vehicle made by Nissan Motors|Nissan, one of the sponsors for the series. The comics give additional character background and plot information not shown in the television episodes.

Wildstorm, a subsidiary of DC Comics released the first 34 chapters in a hardcover volume on November 7, 2007. Entitled "Volume One", the collection also includes Tim Sale's artwork as seen on the show. The Softcover of "Volume One" was also released by Wildstorm and "Volume Two" will be released by Wildstorm on November 19, 2008, and it will include every online chapter from season 2 bound in a hardcover book.
