I'm just now jumping into the Graphic Novels, so thanks for this, Strangles. It saves me lots of time going to the NBC site.

Finished the novels about an hour ago.

Personally, as neat as Hana Gitelman's power is, her storyline really bothers me in the webcomics. It seems as if it would be intensely useful to what Mr. Bennet was doing in the show, but went completely unmentioned. Plus, she broke into the house with Matt and Ted in the episode prior to 'The Company Man,' then completely vanished. I agree, Hana's story was really cool, I'd would have liked to see more of it on TV.

I really like her. even though she appeared only twice in the show, her role was important to the overall story, and she is indeed the first hero (she's Wireless, how cool is that)

she's the main character in the webcomics, and thus, she was handle as a true comic character, going everywhere, and anywhere the show couldn't go.

...and she's been the integral part, and protagonist, in the viral campaign online (sorta like the lost experience), which was overall good and entertaining to take part of.

I wish she would have been mention more in the show, but at least she showed up ( to die ) in five years gone

Still bothered me that she vanished from a hostage situation with no real explanation.

I don't know what you're smoking REX, but will you please pass it along?

I just re-watched S01E16 - Unexpected and S01E17 - Company Man again, the episodes where they break into HRG's house, because I don't remember her ever being there. Sure enough, Hana was nowhere to be seen. She sent them on the right path in Unexpected, but never went to Bennet's house with Matt and Ted.

...I could have sworn she popped in with dual machine pistols at the end of Unexpected...

I still say I should mod the forum, cause I'm always online.

Yeah, or me ermm

We should both co-mod this forum, we're the supergeeks tongue

For some reason, every time I try to come in here to put that new comic in, I get way sidetracked.

Added now.

51st comic added, "Maya y Alejandro," briefly introducing the newest addition to the Heroes cast.

Is it just me or did the season premiere tell us everything that we see in this graphic novel or what? Nothing really different, other than knowing she has done this before.

All the other graphic novels add to the story, but this one seems kind of redundant now after seeing the episode.

52. Flying Blind

I liked that one.

Me too.

I like this new character. He's a little lighter than the rest of the show.

no pun intended ermm

I'm not big on West.

Leave it to me to be the negative Ned, but I felt they stuck with Claire and West for too long in the premiere. I was more interested in what everyone else was doing.

"Are you a robot or an Alien?" .... yeah I thought that whole thing was lame.

Still loved the majority of the episode though

Still loved the majority of the episode though Well Tim Kring mentioned in an interview somewhere that he thought it was asking too much to have so many wildly shifting story arcs, and that the second season would be more focused. That's why they stayed on the Bennets for the majority of the episode.

I think that's a good development.

I too dont like Wes that much, the whole Alien - Robot thing got old and tiring quite fast (much more than "Save the Cheerleader" and it's again present in this GN... I can picture him flying around asking everyone he sees that same stupid question " are you robot or an alien"... lame,

but I like where his relationship with Claire can take him...

I think the episode focus to much on their meeting, when, out of all the character's, Hiro and Kaito were much more interesting... but there's a lot of time to have with other characters

I guess I was more disappointed with his power. I was hoping for something we hadn't seen before.

53. The Crossroads

Yeah, I told REX about it on Tuesday and he hasn't got around to it yet...

Also he labeled number 52 as 51.

who or which?

mine it's definitely "War Buddies" (it's not a one-shot, but it's one story)... and I kinda like "Betty" but mainly cuz Candice it's in it

Originally posted by Captain REX

Betty for me as well.

I liked The Death of Hana Gitelman

Um, the link for Petrified Lightning isn't completed ermm

Fixed.

My favorites so far have been the Betty four-parter and the one-shot Fathers & Daughters, with Mr. Bennet.

There's another two up, I will add them tomorrow.

The first one, focused on Takezo Kensei, appears to take an artistic, retrospective look at things, rather than the 'Kensei is actually British' look at things.

Another 2? There is only the Takezo one.

However I just noticed that they have added animated versions of the graphic novels. Am I blind or are these a recently added feature?

I noticed that as well. Wasn't sure what to make of it.

In any case, another one up. This one addresses what Molly is going through in her head right now. Rather terrifying for Molly, and probably similar to the nightmares she's been having.

If I'm not mistaken, the animated GN began like 5 GN ago, I haven't check them out though...
...and the other GN it's about the Nissan Rogue... yeah, just advertisement

looks like the molly dream one isnt working

Bonus - Rogue

57. Team Building Exercise

I'm surprised nobody liked the Walls duology. My personal favorites by a large margin.

It was alright, I wouldn't put it in my top 5 by any means.

Interactive Exclusive - The Last Shangri-La

58. Quarantine

quick question...

how relevant are the graphic novels to the tv series?

Originally posted by stickman618

they are relevant to an extend... they're more of a complement to the series.

the GN explains things the show doesn't have time to explain... or they go places were show can't go. They never contradict the show, so they can be consider Canon.... and they always expand upon what happened in the latest episode

Originally posted by stickman618

how relevant are the graphic novels to the tv series? They're incredibly relevant. They are directly related to the storylines in the series, and they are in fact treated as canon.

but not reading the GN's won't make me lose track of the series will it??

like, i won't miss any important cryptic stuff?

Originally posted by stickman618

nope... I went through the entire first season and never saw one GN...the first one I read was Betty...
it's more of a complement to the show, you learn new things (but they're not entirely needed for the comprehension of the show) or you get to see things that happened in between stories...or you learn more about things that are just mention briefly in the show....like "the liquid man"

I recommend you read them on your spare time

i don't think i get my hands on them

I'll jab Rex to update the main list.

60. Pursuit, Part 1

61. Pursuit, Part 2

62. Special

Replication! A new power.

Lol finally one of the powers i mentioned came to life!

I also had a feeling that the guy he was fighting was going to have that power as soon as the killed him the second time

Well, yeah, it was pretty obvious that he had a power as soon as he was alluded to.

that was a pretty good one, i didnt like "Special"

63. Elle's First Assignment, Part 1

64. Elle's First Assignment, Part 2

Elle got owned. Three times.

Anyone know if there is a "timeline" or just a read order for the comics and the show together? Norway is still on season 1 and I don't wanna spoil anything by reading too far in the comics, the newest episode I've seen is Company Man, how far can I thus read?

No further than issue #22, Morridini. 'The Company Man' aired the same day that 'Hell's Angel' came out, back in February for us Yanks.

So arthur petrelli has some sort of healing power

I really like Elles 1st assignment haha

i thought he didn't have any powers

Morridini, I would just try to sync up the dates that the episodes aired in the US and the dates that the graphic novels were posted.

Er, Mairuzu, where did you hear that?

Er, Mairuzu, where did you hear that? says so in elles assignment no? Bob says to elle about claires blood, she can be the next linderman or even the next arthur petrelli


unless they were just refering her to an important person and not power wise...

I'm guessing important person.

Also, he wasn't actually referring to the healing properties of her blood, but the stock that she came from. They didn't actually know what her power was, that was actually what Elle's assignment was...

All currently available graphic novels are now catalogued.

And good point, Nate.

Originally posted by NateGreySummers

The most recent was badass.

Well I've constantly had problems trying to download the online graphic novels but now I've found the collection of volume one's at my comic shop and just bought it so I'm good to get all caught up now.

So, it seems that Adam has a way out of that coffin...

what?
how?
where does it say that?

The final panel implies his way out very heavily.

Bob in action, turning people to gold with his Midas' touch.

Updated the list. Found that I had made a serious typing error that rendered the links to 56 up to 68 unusable, but all is well now.

71. History of a Secret

72. Past Experience

73. War Buddies, Part 7: Coming Home

74. Blindsided

-EDIT

I thought Blindsided was the most interesting, though Part 7 offered us a new type of power-stealing...

new? now that's just like Rogue in X-men

does this mean that Arthur Petrelli did have powers?

75. Lessons in Electricity

76. Pieces of Me

77. On the Lam

78. Bounty Hunter

79. Different and the Same

80. Moonlight Serenade

81. Donna's Big Date, Part 1

was blinsided a part of part 7? and where was stealing introduced?

War Buddies, Part 7 is where a new form of Power Stealing is introduced.

she's dead now right??

Originally posted by stickman618
she's dead now right?? Not as far as we know. She could be one of the Villains introduced in Volume 3

she looks pretty dead in war buddies part 7

We've gotten quite a few new powers out of the most recent comics! Extreme flexibility, enhanced vision, the Sixth Sense, etc.

And by new I mean new to Heroes, not new to the ideas of superpowers.

I need to view the latest 30 or so graphic novels still. I'm still trying to get caught up with all things internet.

Originally posted by stickman618
she looks pretty dead in war buddies part 7 why would they give her so much back story after she supposedly died?

My theory is that even if she's truly dead, she'll have an effect. Nothing's there for nothing in this series.

Indeed, they're building her up quite a bit.

They seem to have a penchant for making power theft a villain thing.

then she'll be an old lady

or maybe stealing "Auras" somehow keeps her young

man!! i can't wait 'till season 3

i think it's cool they have a guy who can control plants, the second one if i'm not mistaken, that's a power that X-men doesn't even have... as far as i know anyway
