They're running Origins during the hiatus.

They're not, actually. Now they're doing it after the finale.

So is Origins about the earlier generation?

No, it's about random characters with powers in this generation who may or may not join the show in the third season if people, I don't know, text 1 to 437637.

How lame.

I adore David Anders. The toe thing was gross, and it kind of made me laugh.

Okay, so Heroes is not just a tv show, it's also an online graphic novel. And I just bumped into vids for the Takezo Kensei backstory. And there's this Origins miniseries? Egad, the show's gone viral. I may not have enough time to indulge in it.

So is it worth my while to slog through the graphic novel? I've barely started reading it.

I've really enjoyed the graphic novel but I do wish it was easier to naviagate.

Burrell, the online comic is coming out in print form in... November, I think. I'm waiting for the print version, because the online thing was too unwieldy for me. But, obviously, I don't mind being behind on all the extra stuff, so...

For the most part, the show can be enjoyed independently. Last season, a lot of the comics seemed to fill in missing blanks in the show that seemed kind of important, but over the summer, they did a lot of backstories on characters whose backstories we didn't get to see on the show. So it definitely enhances the experience, but it's not entirely essential.

Where are the graphic novels found? Through the NBC web site?

Many thanks!

On a completely different note: Was it ever made clear that Angela and Kaito were attacked by the same person? Is it possible that the attacks might have been done by two different people? It might be interesting if we were dealing with a group and not a solo player.
