Critic Reviews

100 Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
The DVD helps explain why the series will be a major contender for best drama when the Emmys are handed out Sept. 16.
91 Entertainment Weekly Marc Bernardin
For veterans, the pilot alone will make this set worth buying. For those of you who waited until now to hop on Heroes' cape tails...yes, you will believe a man can fly.
88 New York Daily News David Hinckley
This is a series to be owned and savored, like a comic-book collectible, and it holds up very well to repeated viewings.
88 San Jose Mercury News Mark de la ViƱa
Like any good comic book, the DVD set leaves its audience wanting more.
80 TVShowsOnDVD.com Gord Lacey
The set was good, but it didn't have a big, stand-out feature that would have made it awesome.
80 Washington Post Jen Chaney
Obsessive Heroes fans will be happy with the amount of bonus features included in this seven-disc set, even if those extras are uneven in quality.
80 Boston Globe Tom Russo
The splashiest bonus is a 73-minute unaired version of the series pilot, which features a terrorism story line that Kring notes was dropped because of network concerns about how the material would play in a potential 8 p.m. time slot.
80 IGN Robert Canning and Christopher Monfette
If you haven't seen it, see it. If you have, see it again. Even if it's not HD, this standard-def version is--in point of fact--fairly heroic in itself!
