Well I had some extra time on my hand so I decided to read all of the graphic novels from the Heroes website.
Graphic Novels
I have done a write up on each one and it can be found in the spoiler box. If you don’t want to know, then don’t read it. I have not read the most recent novel, Part 2 of Chapter 17. For the most spoiler info start reading at chapter 13 (About the new Hero) Enjoy, there is some good stuff here.

Chapter 1 was about Mohinder and his father. His father was not religious and believed in genetics and the fact that people out there were special with special powers. Two things of significance in this chapter. One was that the taxi that Dr. Suresh drove was really messed up. It looked like it got torn in two. The other thing that I thought was important was that Mohinder said that Sylar was patient zero according to Dr. Surresh
Chapter 2 was about Hiro. His grandfather survived the bombing of Hiroshima and fought off cancer. He also gave Hiro a copy of Action Comics #1 (which was the first Superman comic). Hiro took that to mean that his grandfather wanted him to be a hero. He realizes this after he teleports into the future and sees NY explode.
Chapter 3 was about Nathan. This one was interesting because it shows Nathan using his power to save a girl from a burning building. He winds up flying into the building and then getting out without anyone but the girl seeing him. She calls him her angel.
Chapter 4 was about Claire and happened just as she was crashing her car into the wall with the molester in it. She is trying to figure out what happened to her. She saved the kid when the car blew up and realizes this is the 2nd time walking through fire in a week
Chapter 5 was about DL. He gets arrested for stealing the 2 million dollars and killing his crew after (which we know doesn’t happen because of the next chapter). He is being interrogated and he slips out of his handcuffs. That was the first time he ever used his power. He then tries to break out of prison and the thing that ignites his power again is the thought of his family and his love for the,
Chapter 6 was about Nikki/Jessica. It shows how she was the mastermind behind stealing Lindermans money. She was supposed to crack the safe but just ripped it off instead with her strength. The crew seemed to turn on her and she killed them and kept the money. Gave it to some guy to launder the money.
Chapter 7 was about Parkman. Probably the worst chapter Ive read. It shows him chasing a thief in a cop car. He can read what the guy is thinking and finally rams the car and arrests him. Not very good
Chapter 8 was a good one. It shows Isaac remembering the first time he knew he could paint the future. He is at a painting show for his paintings and this girl comes in and gets upset at him for painting her being hit by a bus. She storms out and he runs after her trying to tell her he has never even seen her before. And, you guessed it, she gets hit by a bus.
Chapter 9 was about Eden and was a very good one. Eden’s dad abandoned her when she was very young. She was left to live with her step mom who basically forced her to do the chores (very Cinderella like). As she grew, she continued to do the chores until one day she snapped. She told her step mom that she wished she was dead and the moms heart stopped. That’s when she knew she had powers to get people to do what she wants.
Chapter 10 was about Audrey Hanson (FBI Agent with Parkman). She is investigating Sylar and he is hanging in the back row of a crime scene. She sees him and starts chasing after him. He eludes her for a second and gives his coat and hat to an older guy (seemed homeless) and Audrey shoots the old guy thinking he was Sylar.
Chapter 11 was about Mr. Bennett aka HRG. He approaches Eden’s dad to tell him that she is dead. It shows Sylar attacking her, her killing herself and then guards hitting sylar with stun darts. The dad was like, who cares she was a whore and HRG gives him a beat down. He tells the Haitian to erase everything except the guilt.
Chapter 12 was one of the more interesting ones and might have led to some of the posters opinions on Peter. It shows him looking at a criminal that can fly with the aid of a jet pack (think Iron Man). Then he realizes that he can fly also and goes off chasing him. They fight and finally Peter knocks the guys mask off and realizes that he is looking at himself. He is confused because he thinks that he is a Hero not a villain. The he wakes up in the hospital.
Chapter 13-16. This is a 4 part series about a new hero yet to be on the show named Hana Gitelman. She is an Israeli operative. Her grandmother was a holocaust survivor and a rebel during WW2. Her mother was a fighter pilot during the 6 day war so she had a lot to live up to. All three ladies are on a bus that has a suicide bomber on it. Hana is the only survivor of the three and misses the funerals because she was in the hospital. She grows up to be in the Israeli army but they will not let her advance in the high ranks. Horn Rimmed Glasses comes to Israel to get her. He tells her he is CIA and that he wants to train her. They train her and realize that her special power is the ability to read electronic communication (emails, text messages etc). They send her to Africa to try to stop a doctor from selling a bacteria. She says that HRG wants to have it for himself. She gets captured and none of her story is making sense to the cops because she is not a CIA operative and HRG is not a CIA agent. She gets away from the cops and moves to Montana under a new name. She has vowed to get revenge on HRG because he manipulated her and she can see through her reading of emails that he is doing it to others. The last scene has her leaving to gain vengeance.
Chapter 17 was the best in explaining certain things up to this point. It is about Ted Sprague (Radiation Man). It says how he killed his wife without realizing his power. Then Hana Giltelman comes to see him and they both have the scars on their necks. She says that they were injected with some kind of serum so that HRGs knows where they are. It seems like every time HRGs gets done with a hero they have a scar on their neck and have been injected with this serum. It ends with the army closing in on Sprague.
