Heroes Reborn

Also starting this week, the return of Heroes after five years, now starring a bunch of new mutants and (smartly) Mr. Bennet as the protagonist, chasing a new sinister organisation after the (rather interesting) ending of the original run was apparently covered up.

Anyway, the basic premise of Heroes - plainclothes X-Men with no idea where their powers came from fighting amongst themselves while pursued by MIBs instead of huge purple robots - is absolutely solid. The show just tended to tie itself in knots after a first season where every piece fell into place neatly.

I had a non-starting game along these lines back in 2008, and would be happy to pick it up tomorrow.
