The comics are sometimes very spoilery for upcoming episodes.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

Yeah, while they do seem to be part of the story, their content doesn't show up in episodes for weeks, if at all. So far, it all seems to be Hana-related; non-Hana web story hasn't really figured into the episodes, although there was that one comic that told us what happened after Claire crashed the quarterback's car before we found out the next week.

We also found out that Sylar hadn't escaped when he killed Eden.
Edit: I mean when Eden killed herself to avoid having her brains et.

I haven't gotten around to reading the comics (bad fan! no cookie!) but I don't mind blackfont if the producers really do intend the viewers to have all the knowledge of plot presented in the comics.

I'm with Theo. I've read the first 7 or 8 comics, but have fallen behind. If folk want to talk about what they include, it won't bother me.

Ditto. I've only read the first two, but I don't mind the discussion. I'm not spoiler-averse, though, so that may mitigate.

Trust my rage
Just chiming in to say that I appreciate the digest version of the comics and it's probably the only way I'll ever get that info anyway.

I think Mohinder will survive not only being crucified to the ceiling, but the entire season, if only because he is the narrator. He's the omniscient voice.
So was Lester Burnham.

So was Lester Burnham.
And on OZ, Harold Parrineau's character died at the end of one season but remained the narrator for the rest of the run (or part of the rest of the run).

What is even happening?
I think we need a policy for discussing the web comics in this thread. I'd prefer blackfont, but would be OK with whitefont as a compromise.
I never read them, and am annoyed that I have to. I am all for people discussing them here in blackfont, because I could be reading them if I chose.
Although some people might feel they're spoilery, like Theo notes, how spoilery can they be, since the creators are putting them out. In other words, I feel like it's information we are supposed to have now. Spoilers are information we shouldn't yet have, in my book. I just can't be arsed to get the information, myself.
