Online Comics
There are some online comics at the Heroes website which supplement the storyline. The pictures are too big to post here but I'll print the text. Graphic Novel One: Monsters (Mohinder) Something is happening. Location: Madras, India. 1982. I used to believe that monsters existed. My grandmother told me stories... ...Stories about the goddess Kali. How she is tempted to kill mankind. But, if you are devoted, Kali will escort you into the afterlife. While my family was religious, my father was not. He was a brilliant geneticist. He would tell me... "The world is an amazing place, Mohinder, but there's no such thing as monsters". I came to believe everything my father said was true. Location: New York. Today. My father believed that people, all around the world, are capable of doing extraordinary things. Flight. Teleportation. Tissue regeneration. His theory sent him to New York. To find his Patient Zero. The first of these people. A man he called Skylar. Three days ago my father died. Driving a taxi of all things. How did he go from being a noted professor to lying on this slab? "Here's his personal belongings. Wallet. Keys. Cash." I imagined Kali traveling with me from India to this strange land. She came to prevent my father from going into the afterlife. Punishing him for his disbelief. I came here to find out why he died. To make sure his research was not in vain. "If there's anything else I can do..." "Yes. Where's this? Cedar and Trinity? The Chelsea Cab Company?" Location: Cedar and Trinity "Yeah, I knew your father. He was a hard worker. A good driver". "He was a geneticist". "In Russia, I was a violinist. First chair. Everyone here is something that they are not". "I didn't mean to offend. The police told me you still had his cab. I was hoping I could see it". "Sure. It's that one. Over there". "How is this possible?" "Traffic accident. It's bad for morale when a cabbie dies. I have ten drivers who refuse to come into work. Superstitions". My father was wrong about something. Monsters do exist. But, this wasn't Kali. It wasn't an accident. It was one of them. And now...I must find them, too. Follow in my father's footsteps. "I don't know how long you're staying, but if you're looking for a job, I could use someone right away". "I'll do it". I'll slay the monster.

Wwweeeoooww They'll never get to her in time. "Someone! Help!" This is insane. Something Peter would do. He's the dreamer. Flap Flap Third pinch. Nope. Definitely awake. *Cough* "Don't worry, Ma'am. I got you". Petey, eat your heart out. "Are you okay?" *Gasp* "Yes, Yes! Thank you, oh..." "...Thank you?" "Shiela! You're safe!" "How did you get out?" "It was an angel. He wrapped me in his coat and flew me to safety. And...And..." "Huh. And I was going to vote for the other guy".

pika- 10-24-2006

Graphic Novel Five: Snapshots Authorities showed up at the house of Niki Sanders, looking for fugitive DL Hawkins: Wanted for the theft of 2 million dollars and the cold-blooded murder of his own "crew". Husband to Niki and father to Micah, DL has inexplicably managed to evade the police and return home to his family... Location: Las Vegas Almost six months ago. "We both know what went down there, so let's make this quick and easy. You recognize these guys?" "You know I do. But I don't hang with that crowd anymore. They're a bad influence." "Yeah, well they 'influenced' a sports book in Primm a few days ago. Took two million dollars. Killed a guard in cold blood". "I don't know anything about that". "Then why did they find a gun at your place that matched the bullet in this poor stiff's chest? Well?" I didn't have an answer. I didn't even have a good guess. Who would frame me like this? Why? "I get it. You're strapped for cash, trying to keep your family happy". He doesn't know the first thing about my family. "'Course if I had a wife that looked like that, I know a few ways I could keep her happy". "Don't ever talk about my wife like that again..." "Nifty trick, Houdini. Let's see if you can slip so easily out of the robbery/murder rap." What's happening to me? Location: Nevada State Pentitentiary Some time later. The trial was a joke. I never stood a chance. But that's not what's been bugging me. "Light's out!" I keep thinking about what happened in that interrogation room. Did I imagine it? Was I possessed? Am I going crazy? How did I get out of those cuffs? More importantly, can I do it again? C'mon DL. You can do this. Just remember, this is for them. You need to focus. All my anger. All of my pain. All of my love... I remember telling my son about the importance of following rules. Glad he can't see me now. But I can't rot away in here, thinking what could have been, watching my own back. Someone needs to protect Niki and Micah. Someone needs to find out who framed me. Someone needs to get to the bottom of this. It's not freedom, I know. It's just escape. But right now, it's my only shot at getting my life back.

The story from the comics sure indicates that, bookie. If you only watch the tv show and don't read the comics, you miss a lot of little tidbits. I only wish they made the comics easier to view. My computer at work shuts down windows when I try to print the comic and the only two views they have aren't the right size. One view is so small you can't read the print but the other view makes you have to scroll up and down to see the whole page of the comic. It's frustrating that they don't make the comic the right size to read it on a computer screen.
