It was one of the lingering questions surrounding what was seen as one of the potentially hottest licensed properties out there: who would ultimately get the comic book rights to NBC’s hit series Heroes?

As USA Today reports, that would be DC Comics, who just finalized a deal with NBC/Universal for their Wildstorm imprint to collect the comic book material that has been presented on the web into graphic novel form. To date, there have been 43 different stories presented online, with art by a variety of artists including Michael Turner, Marcus To, Mitch Gunnell, and Phil Jimenez. The book will feature new covers by Alex Ross and Jim Lee.

The book is slated to reach stores this fall and will be published under DC’s WildStorm imprint. It is developed through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group.
