Incoming from Comic Con: Heroes 3

Incoming from Comic Con: Heroes: SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Heroes episode 1 of season 3: Villains is packed full of everything that the fans have been craving since they aired the first season. Its action packed and chock full of plot. Enough happens in the first episode that could really be spread out into five episodes. There are more special effects, more use of everyone’s powers, and more action than the first two seasons combined. The writers really kicked it up a notch after seeing that the fans were getting bored with the second season. If the rest of the season is even half as good as the first episode then this is going to rock the socks off of everyone. It is definitely worth tuning into this upcoming fall to find out what happens.

Here’s what happens in the first episode:
Hiro and Ando are up to their same old shenanigans. Hiro starts the new season off looking for another way to be a hero. He and Ando go through their normal interaction, with Hiro being bored with normal life and Ando saying that Hiro should just enjoy all the money that was left behind by his father. While they are talking about destiny, which Hiro has to mention every episode, he gets a video from his departed father. His father tells Hiro that there is something locked in the safe and that he must never open it or look at it. Of course, Hiro opens the safe and finds that it holds half of some formula that the older generation of heroes has spent their whole life trying to hide. Right when he takes it out of the safe it is ripped from his hands by some unknown force. Hiro stops time to see what happened. Some super fast chick ran by him and stole the formula. For some reason she’s able to break free from the stopped time and escapes with the formula. Hiro then makes it his mission, along with Ando, to get that formula back before it destroys the world.
Peter Petrelli appears in the first episode in a scene of the future. The world has taken a turn for the worse because of people finding out about their powers. Claire, gone bad, is holding Peter at gun point. She shoots at Peter, but of course, he stops time, dodges the bullet and then teleports back to the present day to stop the reason why the world found out about their powers. If you recall, Nathan Petrelli at the end of the second season was about to tell the world about his powers and out everyone else, but he suddenly gets shot. Well, twist number one, it was Peter from the future that shoots his brother to stop him from telling the world about their powers. They rush Nathan to the hospital with present day Peter in tow, but despite their best efforts can’t save him. Nathan dies. Future Peter kidnaps present day Peter and “puts him in a safe place.” He then goes back to retrieve the gun he used to shoot Nathan with and Matt Parkman catches him. Matt was suspicious of Peter all along. So, what does future Peter do? He teleports Matt to an unknown place, out in the middle of the desert somewhere. Peter goes back to the hospital to find that Nathan is alive!!! How did that happen you ask? That I’ll leave as a surprise for when the episode airs.
Dr. Suresh and Maya continue their quest to figure out how to cure the powers. However, Suresh comes at the problem from a different direction and figures out how to give the powers to people. Maya convinces Suresh to destroy the concoction, but of course, as he is about to throw it into the water, he changes his mind and injects himself with the serum. He passes out only to wake up to two guys trying to rob him. What happens next will also be saved for when the first episode airs. Don’t want to spoil every single detail.
OMG!!!! The most exciting story line for me involves Claire and Sylar. Sylar has stalked Claire and tried to kill her for her powers throughout the first two seasons. These two finally go head to head in this episode, and Sylar wins! Sylar has regained at least some of his powers and he uses them to trap Claire and cut her skull open. The long awaited answer to the question, “What does Sylar do with the brains” is finally somewhat answered. Claire wakes up lying on a coffee table with Sylar at her head feeling around on her brain. She asks him, “Are you going to eat my brain?” He answers, “Claire!! That’s disgusting.” So, he doesn’t eat the brains of his victims. He felt around on her brain until he found the spot that held her powers. Something clicked (not real clear what happens) then he stands up, looks at a wound he had gotten from fighting Claire earlier, and he heals. Sylar has finally gotten Claire’s powers!!! Twist number two, he puts Claire’s scalp back on and she heals!! He doesn’t kill her. She mentions this to Sylar and he says that she is not like the others, she can never die. He then states, “Now apparently, neither can I.”

DUM DUM DUMMMM!!!!

The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama[1] is a webcomic starring "a high-flying llama, a sword-swinging cat, and a rocket as loyal as a cowboy hero's horse."[2] Created by Alex Langley while he was a student at Henderson State University, the comic first appeared in a comic book titled The Workday Comic. For the Workday comics anthology, a spin-off of Scott McCloud's 24-Hour Comics, comics creators each wrote and drew their own eight-page stories in eight hours in April, 2007, on Friday the 13th[3], which turned into an ongoing publication.[4] Co-presenting with comics author and scholar Danny Fingeroth (Dazzler, Spider-Man, Superman on the Couch), the creators described the webcomic's evolution as members of a Comics Arts Conference panel at 2008's Comic-Con International in San Diego, California.[5][6][7] Contents [hide] 1 Debut 2 Webcomic 3 References 4 External links [edit] Debut The full title of Rocket Llama's debut story in The Workday Comic #1 (spring, 2007) was "The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama #112: 'Trouble in Paradise'".[8] The story introduced the taciturn hero Rocket Llama and his talkative sidekick, an anthropomorphic cat named Bartholomew Meowsenhausen, who find themselves stranded on an island after a battle with an enemy called Jetpack Dog. Spherical islanders capture them and then challenge them to combat. A villain named Böwser vön Überdog arrives with Jetpack Dog and, in a sudden Star Wars parody, summons a giant robot known as the Super Robot Dog Walker which blasts a volcano to bits. Before it can fire a second blast, Rocket Llama destroys it by getting it to swallow a pot of water and backfire. The story ends with Böwser tied up and the heroes using the giant robot dog head as a boat to get themselves home, with the promise of the next story to be titled, "Yuck! Yukon!"[9][10] Whether despite the original story's childlike art or because of it, the Rocket Llama story proved to be the most popular in the 2007 anthology collection of the eight-hour comics.[11] After comic artist Stephen R. Bissette, an instructor at the Center for Cartoon Studies and comic book artist best known for his work on Swamp Thing with Alan Moore, read all of the stories in the first volume of The Workday Comic, he remarked, "That llama's gonna stick with me."[12] [edit] Webcomic Nick Langley redrew the story with a less childlike drawing style in webcomic form for online publication[13] as the flagship title for the website rocketllama.com which grew into an affiliation of websites featuring webcomics, art, entertainment reviews, and scholarly studies of comics.[14] The online story featured a new cover[15] and omitted a one-page gag, a preview for an unrelated Stealth Potato comic, which had appeared as an intermission in the middle of the original story.[16] The original story also appeared online as the comic's "ashcan copy."[17] The authors present the Rocket Llama stories metafictionally as the world's oldest comic book, established in 1916, which they allegedly rediscovered and are adapting into webcomics. "Deep underground, in an archaic vault we searched until we found the fabled tales. As both the current production team behind The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama and appreciators of such groundbreaking literature, we have taken it upon ourselves to restore these classic issues to a glory more befitting a modern, digital age."[18] Although every "issue" is presented with panels and screens in the correct order for each story, the issues are presented out of order as if readers were discovering old issues of a classic comic book in a seemingly haphazard order, however they come to find them. After the redrawn number 112's online publication came the serialized time travel story #136-137, "Time Flies When You're on the Run," appearing one page at a time throughout each week.[19][20] Special Rocket Llama Says bonus features appear only in "ashcan" form drawn by the original creator.[21] [edit] References ^ Rocket Llama World Headquarters ^ You are here. ^ Waddles, Joshua.
