Heroes Graphic Novel (Spoilers)

[last man of krypton]

Until it's decided on whether or not Graphic Novels will get it's own section, discuss the stories of the Heroes Graphic Novels here (which can be read here (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/)). Though future episodes won't be discussed here, there is the potential of future plot points cropping up. So if you don't want to be spoiled AT ALL, turn back now!



















Just finished reading the final issue of the "War Buddies" arc (chapter 28), and I must say I was really surprised by the revelation of the last page. I figured Austin would turn out to be someone important, but since I'd already presumed Linderman didn't have powers I had ruled him out. Even more surprising was Mr Petrelli's reveal.
This is just the kind of boost I needed before Heroes starts airing again. :)

[chrisxs5]

I agree, if it wasnt for the graphic novels, I'm not sure I would have survived the break. I know everyone was saying that was going to be the outcome of "War Buddies" but I am still trying to fiqure out the odds that Papa would meet some body with powers then eventually have some of his own. Still sounds weird!

Theory: Unless maybe Mama Petrelli is Lindermans sister and thats how she meets Papa.

Scratch that the novel shows him already married. oops

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

The novels are a great way to reveal more and tell more backstory.

How long until every show has an online graphic novel or something like it?

[STFanatic]

I like the fact that more and more networks are putting series online so you can watch them there.
I wish Smallville would do so on the CW website like they do Supernatural.
My wife doesn't like Supernatural, so during the broadcast we watch other series, then I watch it online later.
Also with series like the various "CSI" series, sometimes the broadcast air times conflict with my other favorites so I catch them online.

I really like it when they do the series version like "War Buddies" you get the suspense from to different points and then to try to put them all together.

The only Novel I wish they would not of done was the one where Hana met Ted. They did the same thing on the show, so you didnt get to enjoy on the tv like you couldve. And I love the spoilers but that one ruined it. Although I would love to see "War Buddies" played out in one of those rewind eps.

I do the same thing with Prison Break, even if I'm home I still wait to catch on my laptop later. I wish they would do Smallville also. I sent them an email requesting it one time; I didnt even get a reply on it. But atleast they have all of there "Chronicles" to help get us through. But they arent as consistent with those as Heroes is. I have been waiting for Drive to premier and read somewhere (sorry dont remember where) that they will be doing the same due to Heroes response with all of their stuff.

[last man of krypton]

Now Linderman has been revealed on the show, I hope there'll be a few seconds of "War Buddies" flashback if he and Nathan have a talk about Papa Petrelli; not too much or too fancy, maybe a quick shot of Austin and Dallas walking through Vietnam, Au Co getting shot, and the moment when they reveal their names to each other and shake hands.

[chrisxs5]

Makes you wonder what they plan to do in part six with such a big reveal in part 5.

[chrisxs5]

So six just came out! I found it a little disappointing and more of an advertisement than a good one. I would have to say to date it has been the most disappointing issue yet.

What do you think?

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

I too was disappointed and a little pissed at the advertisement. They should've held the reveal until this week to get people more amped for the return.

[chrisxs5]

I agree, the hole guy calling her in was kindve stupid and typical also. They shouldve ended it at part 5. This one was a waisted week.

[last man of krypton]

Ditto. I thought Hana's story was interesting at first, when her past was revealed, but I've been pretty much bored by the entire "undercover agent" side of it (the only highlight being the Austin & Dallas story). Here's to hoping we get to see the regular cast back in the novels come next week.

[HameronClanaChlark]

Lana's an intresting character.

[STFanatic]

Lana?

[chrisxs5]

Maybe he/she meant Hana?

[chrisxs5]

The new Novel is out. It is a good one. It covers why Future Hiro went back and told Peter to save the cheerleader.

[STFanatic]

I read it yesterday, it is a good one for sure :D

[last man of krypton]

Agreed. It does raise some questions, which I hope will be answered. Mainly, has Future Hiro seen Sylar blow up, or since he went back and changed things, has he seen Peter blow up instead? Did Claire still die at the hands of Sylar at the rally in his timeline, or has that changed as well? If not, will Present Hiro even become "Future Hiro" since he wouldn't have the same experiences? Argh, time anomalies! :confused:

[chrisxs5]

He said he tried stabing Sylar, but he regenrated so I would think he has seen him blow up. But as for the rest of the questions, only time will tell. lol Yes all pun was intended.

[last man of krypton]

But he stabbed Sylar before he went back in time and changed things. Once he'd gone back, his memories could've changed. Or would they, since he existed outside of time?

[chrisxs5]

I think thats it, once you take yourself out of one timeline all the rules for you and accesaries are over. The newspaper that your holding no longer exist in that timeline, so how can it change either!

[chrisxs5]

New Graphic novel out! part 1 of 2. Read it before the rest of my post




I loved this one, the fact that Peter is in a prison for 200 people with abilities and that he is in contact with them! The next one with the pending fight should be excellent!

[STFanatic]

Oh man!

More More More!!!!!

[chrisxs5]

I know!!! I hit the arrow button to get the next page and no matter how hard I hit it the page still woudnt turn!

[DiscoDyslexic]

Future Peter's just awesome.

I just read the new one,
I really like the fact that Peter took the abilities quickly, and then used them against the people he got them from.

No way Sylar could compete with that.

[STFanatic]

I just read it then watched the episode with commentary, friggin sweet!!

[chrisxs5]

He seems to be able to pull new powers instantly, sweeet!

[chrisxs5]

New Novel today titled, "The Death of Hana Gittleman"

[STFanatic]

After midnight I tried to access it but it wouldn't open the second page.

Oh wow another great novel!

I am going to save the novels as PDF, they are huge files, but I just gotta save them before they remove the library for the next season.

[chrisxs5]

I have been saving them since the begining, they seem to work better as pdfs vs the interactive.

I liked this story, kindve setting up to kill off Hana on the novels vs the show! Which I think will be awesome! Kindve tired of her dominating the novels!

[STFanatic]

Honestly last night was the first time I tried the .PDF version.

Man, I am sooooooooooooo glad I have high speed internet, those suckers are up to 20 MB each :lol:

It takes me nearly 12 to 15 seconds to download the .PDF files.
On dialup it would have taken hours :eek:

[last man of krypton]

I must say, I'm a little annoyed that Hana's being killed off before being on the show a little more. She had, what, 3 mins of airtime? With the events of the latest episode, I'd think TPTB would want to keep her around.

[DiscoDyslexic]

I doubt she's acctually going to die, I take it as a more figurative meaning, Maybe the name will die, or the consciousness of hana will leave her body, you never know.

The name of the Novel is just too blunt, I'd think.

[STFanatic]

I would like them to make a real novel as in hard cover op paperback.

You know, the kind with words and no pictures ;)

[chrisxs5]

I would like to see them kill off a character via the novel. Besides, she has been on her site and all over the novels. I would like them to show some background on someother characters. If shes dead, then they will have to.

[last man of krypton]

Let me remind you of a little Spidey story entitled "The Day Gwen Stacey Died"...

[chrisxs5]

Killing Isaac the way they did was alittle to blunt also. But he''s still dead!

[DiscoDyslexic]

Quite true, but for now I'm, for some reason, going to put my chips on her living "in some way".

[DiscoDyslexic]

It seems I was right, her consciousness apears to have left her body. Well that's what it looked like to me.

[last man of krypton]

Ditto.

[STFanatic]

She is now part of the "Information Superhighway".

A living part of it :cool:

[last man of krypton]

Poor girl, having to float through all those adverts and dodgy sites for eternity...

[STFanatic]

OMG Popup hell :eek:

[chrisxs5]

It will be interesting to see how they use this next season!

Part 4

[MidgardDragon]

What did everyone think of "Betty"? I liked it, but I'm preparing myself from the slew of "omg so lame" comments since it was about a character that isn't immediately likable to most of the "normal" people.

I wonder if we will see her in the show next year? I think she'd be an interesting diversion from all of the "pretty" people we already have. Let's face it the Season 1 cast was all pretty attractive, not very realistic. Would be nice to see a chubby pimply high school girl, IMO. Something for those of us that weren't as perfect as Clare and the other cheerleaders from S1 (for example) to enjoy.

[STFanatic]

I like it, she may be a little predictable though, we will have to wait & see.

And I agree with you, I would like to see some "normal superheroes".

[Raissa]

The jury's out until the next installment, but I appreciated the Breakfast Club reference and Ren's line about AP History of White America.

[MidgardDragon]

Okay I'm stupid, but so are both of you for not calling me on it. *g*

Someone on another website pointed out that Betty is most likely the backstory of a hero we've already met.

Now think long and hard. Didn't someone mention in a roundabout way that they might be "huge" despite their current attractive physical appearance? Someone that can make people see anything they want them to?

Yeah, feel dumb now?

[STFanatic]

It could be.

Re-reading novel....................
.
.
With the "Not long ago" at the very first, I believe it is her.

[The Ninth Doctor]

So that's what candace looks like....


It's obvious that that is indeed Candace, but the external/internal voices sound nothing at all like the candace we've seen on the show. Candace is pessimistic about the world sure, but she's not, well, so self-absorbed. Candace seemed on the show to be more upset about the fact that people were not tolerant of her appearance because she pitied their attitudes, not pittied herself.


Anyway, since Missy Peregrym has left, I see Candace taking over Hana's spot as extremely underused character to never make another apearence on the show but instead star in a number of unimportant/unentertaining webcomics.




Oh, and did anyone else catch the Ultimate Spider-man rip-off?

Not sure what you're talking about with the "Ultimate Spider-Man rip-off" but I'm going to assume based on the general overuse of that word on these forums that you're jumping to the "rip-off" conclusion over something fairly innocent.

1) Hana's webcomics were probably some of the only entertaining of the bunch, mostly because they covered ground that wasn't completely covered on the show.

2) The "voice" used for Candace in this comic was that of a high school girl just finding out how cruel the world could be and not yet fully developed and likely not nearly as well-read as modern Candace is. It seems accurate enough to me that she started out self-absorbed (as do most teenagers) then later developed her hatred for society in general and it's treatment of people because of their appearance.

The problem with Hana's webcomics for me was, I simply stopped carring. The character was in something like 2 scenes in the show, and realy had a lot of potential. A few were entertaining, but I found the ones that only used her to frame another story (like Au Co) to be much more so. The webcomics that give us another look/glimpse/insight to something that is important on camera I find to be the best. But, in the end, I suppose its a matter of opinion as to which webcomics are more/less entertaining.


I suppose you are right about her voice. I should wait to see how she grows over the four webcomics. It was just jarring to me the dissimalarity, and I didn't stop to think about it before posting. I suppose that realy, while I imagined Candace was ugly and obese, I never expected a goth/emo/self-loathing teanager. But, thinking about it, it may make sense.




As for the rip-off scene, I have, in other threads, defended scenes, plots, themes and characters that others have deemed "rip-offs". But this time it seemed to me to indeed be a blatant rip-off.

In ultimate Spider-man, a recurring scene is onen where Peter Parker is tripped by a Jock, had food thrown on him, and then had the jock comment to one of his buddies the "score" of the assault on a scale of one to ten. It's not a similar accusation to the "omg sylar t0ta11y threw dat truck just like in Xmen3 total ripoff lol" threads. It's the exact same scene.


Then again, I suppose it could be an "homage" to one of the greatest modern sequential art ongoings. So, I take my accusation of rip-off back, but do indeed believe that it is either an homage or rip-off still.

[chrisxs5]

Hey everyone, I have been gone for ahile and it feels good to be back.

I just read the comic and completely thought it was Candace before I got done with the first page. Betty seemed like she secretly strived to fit in with everyone else, thus the trying out for a cheerleader commit. Once Betty figures out the illusion control angle, she will of course try to fit in by becoming that which she has feared her entire Highschool life.

[last man of krypton]

I'm really enjoying the Betty storyline, it makes a refreshing change from the overly serious Haitian arc. I too think Betty is Candace, there's a look about her that reminds me of her future self (something about the eyes I think).
With this issue, it looks as though she may be trying to get rid of her friend so she can fit in with everyone else, which seems more like the conniving persona we've seen in the episodes.

[STFanatic]

I liked this installment, it seems her getting the rumor started, she may have doomed her best friend.

[Raissa]

I got the impression it was just a rumor that got out of hand, and she goes bad, because Ren is no longer there to keep her in check after the fallout. We'll see.

[STFanatic]

With this premise, I can almost see it as a series :D

A frumpy teen with mind controlling powers.... hmmm.

[The Ninth Doctor]

The Second was amazingly good. Its one of my favorite of the webcomics.

I realy wish that they had credits at the beginning for who writes each issue.I'm pretty sure it isnt just that one guy that was on the commentary.

[XanthusAZ]

I think that Betty is definitely Candice, but this is not the thread to discuss that in.

By the way, I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Red_K_Advocate]

I guess they really want to get the point across that there are extreme differences in social clicks...

[chrisxs5]

Is it just me, or did they create Betty way beyond the outcast look that is actually out there?

[STFanatic]

I think they are going over the top with the zits, on both her and him.

[The Ninth Doctor]

Betty Parts Three and Four were dissapointing. There was nothing realy wrong with part three, it did its job of building up to the final, but that's it. Nothing unexpected. Part four had a cool destruction scene, but no ramifications; everyone just stops and wonders if what they saw was real. The final reveal wasn't suprising either, as we all knew from the first installment that Betty was Candace Wilmer.

These were not bad, they just were'nt as good as the second installment.

My one biggest problem with it is she goes out for revenge A. not against those that did her wrong but every single person in the school besides her B. she randomly stops and seems satisfied even though all she did was cause five minutes of terror. Somehow that makes up for her friends death?

I was hoping to see her illusions come to a stop due to Thompson and The Hatian coming onto the scene, and getting to see her introduction to the Company. Hopefully we will get that in a future Webcomic.


The golden handshake: The first installment realy didn't seem that great to me, but I think the arc is going to be a very enjoyable one. I am interested both in learning more about cloud and the fate of Hanson. ONe thing that was realy great was the art; I don't know what it is, but it just seems old, it fits the story that takes place so many years ago.


EDIT: No one has replied yet, so I'll add my thoughtts for golden handshake part 2.

Art remains very good, and the story is picking up. Its shaping up to be one of the best story arcs we've had so far. Great twist at the end too. Hopefully a webcomic focusing on Claude means that we'll be seeing more of him this season.

[fzbandit]

ok, just finshed reading golden handshake part 4. Can anyone enlighten me on what happened? What was Haram's power? Why did he retire? What significance does this story (golden handshake) have in the Heroes saga?

[MidgardDragon]

I couldn't figure that out myself, fzbandit. It's my least favorite run of the graphic novels, but I imagine it might have something to do with a character (Haram) that will be introduced in Season 7.

[Raissa]

Haram didn't have a power. The Company had another op kill him, because they knew he was unstable, despite Claude's efforts to clean it up.

[The Ninth Doctor]

I didn't think that they had someone kill him, just that he retired cause he was worn out.

I think that this was less about signifigance to the current story, as it was fleshing out another corner of the heroes universe, this time the early (er) carreer of claude.


I enjoyed it overall.

[MidgardDragon]

I enjoyed Heroism is Found in the Heart, even though it's about a character without a super power.

[Raissa]

I did too; I was happy for Ando. I also really liked how Papa Nakamura was drawn.

[MidgardDragon]

I wonder if Hiro's sister is going to develop a super-power.

[samndean4eva]

Where do you find the online comics???

I hope not; I'm not overly fond of what appears to be everyone gaining powers.
Loved Ando's story though. :)

[MidgardDragon]

I'm fine as long as it stays in the families we already know about. Since most of the blood relatives of currents heroes have powers, it makes sense. If Ando, Mohinder, HRG, or Claire's borther start developing a power then we can be worried, but at this point I'd say it would make perfect sense for Hiro's sister to develop a power.

[last man of krypton]

Make sense, yes. But there's the potential for good storytelling if one sibling has powers while the other doesn't (think Iceman and his brother in X2).

[MidgardDragon]

It'd be nice to see at least one more member of that family develop powers, since most of the time we have at least two, if not entire families, who have them. I'd rather it be his sister than his dad, as George Takei's character is just so cool without powers. :P

[The Ninth Doctor]

This thread is cursed. I've tried to post this at least seven times and each time I get interupted and have to start again later.

First: the Ando Story: I liked it, the dialogue was a bit off, but it was supposed to be transalted dialogue, which is always off.

I don't think Hiro's sister will have a power, though another Evolved Human sibling relationship would be interesting. If anyone in that family, I'd say Kaito, as he has somekind of relation to the 9/ Linderman's group.

The current arc: I like the style of the art, but in the first issue it was very confusing. I had to go to heroes wiki to figure out exactley what happened.

Another Thing: When does it take place? the preview has him (SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING) teaching or lecturing somewhere, and this has him in New York continuing his father's research. Now, this could take place in the beginning of Volume one, but he reference's Molly's desease and cure in the first issue.

Second: How the heck is the existance of evolved humans kept secret if they're doing things like electrocuting hospitals, blowing up in the sky, flying across nevada, etc?

[chrisxs5]

I liked the Ando story, I wonder if they will have the two of them together when the show starts.

I found the electromag story a little confusing at first also, but once I understood it I like it as well.

So has anyone watched the new animated version yet? I thought it was pretty cool but still likke the original better.

[The Ninth Doctor]

I thought that it added nothing to the story, and so was unnecessary.

I'm of the opinion that if you're going to start animating a comic, you might as well go full-on animation.

[chrisxs5]

Well I can agree with that. It wasnt as good as the actual comic!

[MidgardDragon]

I didn't think animating it added anything to the story but I also didn't think it took anything away. And you can still choose to go either way, based on your preference, so it's still a good thing.

[The Ninth Doctor]

So- on the show the Hatian is deeply religious towards God, and penitent for his sins.

In the webcomic he thinks Penitence is worthless, and takes drugs to get Loa's blessing.






uh, what?

[STFanatic]

Yeah, I caught that and did the "Huh?", then re read it twice.

[Supernatural Hero]

I need to get my hands on the graphic novels.

[MidgardDragon]

Hmm, the newest graphic novel is a bit confusing. So Peter has to think of the way he felt when he absorbed the power initially. We know from previous graphic novels that he absorbed it from the lightning guy in the hospital. So was Peter in that hospital, feeling love, when he absorbed the power? And now, feeling love towards Caitlin, the power came out by calling her name? That's the best I can come up with. It looks like they're keeping the empath part of his powers (thank God) but I'm not sure if they're using it how I think they're using it.

[The Ninth Doctor]

In an interview the writers have said [minor spoilers that may not be ever explicitly stated on screen]:

that Peter will find out that his powers are much more based on his heart than his memory of specific people.


So he gets angry and wants to kill someone, and of course Sylar's power comes out.


As for the electricity....



[SPOILER]:

Its not from the hospital guy we've seen its from


[MAJOR OMG SPOILER SO HUGE THAT EVEN THOSE OF US WHO HAVE AVOIDED EVERY SPOILER FOR MONTHS EVEN IF DEATH WAS THE ONLY OTHER OPTION KNOW ABOUT IT]


It's from Bell's character.

....


So either A) Bell had a very loving, caring personality, and so when Peter fealt these fealings for Caitlin it came out or B) She was a love interest for Peter during those 4 months.


I'm inclined to go with option A) as it seems more similar to the TK we've seen.

[MidgardDragon]

[spoiler]


Why on Earth would they make a graphic novel with a guy with the lightning power, then show us Peter using that power, tell us nothing about Kristen Bell's character, then make the power he is usin gfrom KB's character? Is this a confirmed spoiler? It's not a very good way to go about it, IMO. Should've just made the throw-away character from Mohinder's comic have a different power.

It is a confirmed spoiler that Elle (Bell's character) has lightning powers, is looking for Peter, and has ties to his disapearance, so I thhink it's a safe bet to asssume that it is from her that he got the power.

But 9th Doctor, she is supposed to have a ruthless personality, so it can't be choice A and I don't think choice B is likely. Probably, it's choice C- I have noidea, but not either of the other choices.

The hospital guy couldn't shoot lightning- he just absorbed electricity. He was originally supposed to have Maya's power, but they would'nt let the writer use it.




Thanks Xanthus. I guess we'll just have to wait until Monday to find out what the connection is.

New Graphic novel out this morning "Molly's Dream"

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/

Freaky stuff!!!!!!

[last man of krypton]

I really like the art in the latest novel, "Team Building Exercise". The design and emotions of the characters' faces were done well, as well as the backgrounds.

[The Ninth Doctor]

The art is almost always great. The problem I have with it is the writers INTENTIONALLY draw the characters to not look like the actors. This just doesnt make sense to me.

[last man of krypton]

Actually, the main reason why I liked this issue was because Noah was drawn like he could be a young Jack Coleman, and there are other issues where the characters are drawn like their actor counterparts (one that springs to mind is the last panel of Chapter 20). I guess it's just down to artist preference.

[MidgardDragon]

Very very nice GN. Noah is so cool, he should get his own show.

[The Ninth Doctor]

The most recent one I couldn't get into.. The fact that we're already out of that future, likely to never again see it, just makes me not care...

[last man of krypton]

I liked this issue (#59). Didn't really add anything to the main story, but it was just a feel-good issue. The page where you see DL phasing through the entire house was nicely done.

[MidgardDragon]

Which one was this? Quarantine? What makes you think we'll never see that future again? Are you forgetting how many times we revisited the Exploding Man future?

[The Ninth Doctor]

Yeah, that's the one. But we only went there once- and then it was gone.


As for the newest, the fireman one- was there no hidden picture, or was my PC acting up?

Oh, and the story was great for this one too. A fitting final tribute to DL.

Amazing new novel. Elle's First Assignment gets a 5/5. HRG is his awesome self, Mr. Muggles plays an important role, and we have the return of Eden! Great piece. Can't wait for pt 2.

I loved the Christmas GN -- BadAss!Bennet and Mr. Muggles in the same issue. :) :)

[last man of krypton]

Issue #66 (The Ten Brides of Takezo Kensei) was a great read; easily one of the best. Great writing, and clever artwork.
Plus some of the speculation about Kensei can finally end; his blood doesn't give immortality, and looks like his power will keep him alive despite a lack of oxygen (he would've used up any oxygen in there within a day at most).

[STFanatic]

Oh man, that was one of the best novels ever, well written and it flowed like a stream.

Yeah, I read in an interview with Kring that he would not completely die in that coffin.
I searched for the article but I could never find it again.

[MidgardDragon]

Very good GN. I was particularly interested in that first wife that he said lived until she was 80 something then died holding his hand. Her knowing his secret and all that would've been very interesting. Hope to see some of this expanded on in future GN's.

[Spirit Detective]

It looks like Kensei may return after all.

[Socrate]

Think it means our man sooner or later IS comming back :)
Question is - who is his new bride?

[MidgardDragon]

I think Adam will probably round off the "Villains" of the next chapter, probably near the end. Probably pushing Sylar out of the role of leader and *possibly* into a role of facing off with the Heroes against the Villains. I know lots of us have wanted to see this type of turn around for a while now, would be a good way to go about it.

[Superboy2]

So whats Arthur Petrelli's power?

[Socrate]

Is it me or according to what they say in novel (bob and elle) and what elle thinks during classes etc. company at that point didn't know what power Clare has/will have ? So I think Bob was talking generaly about her possible power-potential considering she has strong genes - both parents with powers, one of them from company family line. My guess is company played game of predicting offsprings abilities/potential and kept eye on them - Isaac,Clare, Micah etc. Hiro and his sister were both working in Kaito's company so he was keeping eye on them, same with Charles daughter and Petrellies sons.

[prairiefire]

That Graphic Novel was fabulous. Answered many of the questions I have seen of whether Adam can survive in the coffin and raised many more.
It looks like Takezo will be set free by someone, but WHO. As we know he was locked up by The Company so this 'bride' has to be someone in the company or a prisoner there.

[Superboy2]

I wonder if one of Isaac's parents was involved with the company.

[Socrate]

I would bet some money on Carlos Mendez. Family name + Latino appearence.

[Superboy2]

Carlos Mendez was mentioned? Never heard the name on the show before.

[The Ninth Doctor]

He's one of the twelve SuperElders, named by the post-its on Matt's pic of them.

[Superboy2]

Let me guess, Sylar's dad was in on it 2 I'll bet. Along with Maya's mother or father, and I'm guessing Victoria Pratt is the mother of one of the heroes, like maybe Nikki. Or maybe Nikki's dad was involved.

The new Novel: The Golden Goose (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/)

I was quite confused about who Richard Drucker was, I found out on the NBC site here:
Richard Drucker (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/evolutions/season2/season2_drucker.shtml)

Bob is scary!

[Portdechar]

So bob can change someone in gold?
do you think Clair could regenerate from that!?!?

[Raissa]

I was wondering the same thing; could her tissue revert? She'd better be able to regenerate from that, or Bob would end up on the receiving end of HRG, regardless of the terms of their deal.

[The Ninth Doctor]

Bob has to change the number of protons in someone's individual atoms (which should require a huge amount of energy, I'd think about equall to that required for Ted's nucleokinesis. But he probably eats alot.) something that, logically, regen blood would be powerless against reversing. What could happen, is her blood treats the changed tissue as dead/seperated tissue, so if, say her arm became gold, her regen would push it off and grow a new one. Or if he began to turn her skin gold, she'd probably shed and regen.

ew.

[Raissa]

I loved "Blindsided." I didn't notice this until someone pointed it out, but the last three letters that Bennet reads on the eye chart at the beginning are H, R, G. Little extras like that make me happy. :) Hopefully, we'll see Grigsby in Volume 3.

[Mars Investigations]

Anyone keep up with these?

[Raissa]

I do. They've kept me interested even during periods when the show hasn't as much.

[targis]

Amanda sets Peter on fire.:lol:

[Chulance]

NOOO! Peter helped Amanda get her life back!

[targis]

It sure looked like he was on fire at the end of the novel to me.
