Heroes Links

This is another post imported from my other blog. I've added some links to the right, but there's a lot in this post that are also interesting...
Inspired by Highlander's post on the show, I decided to give y'all a road map to finding some cool Heroes stuff online.
I wanna start with a great mind thinking alike, the Heroes Among Us blog. And from the official site, there's Hiro's blog.
The 9th Wonders fansite offers fascinating discussions about the show on their boards, but mainly for their gallery of Value Stamps that recall a similar Marvellous attempt back in the '70s (just 'cause we love ya, H). And for his other half the You Tube junkie, here's a fan video that's the best of what I've seen:

And there's the official web site, but I particularly want to draw your attention to the online comic that promises a new "issue" each week, even when the show's in reruns (in December, at least). While we're getting a new episode each week, it supplies a little extra to the story (sometimes gives you a guide to where it's going). Thing is with dial-up it takes forever to download an issue, and there's a little wait on DSL. Also, with the interactive version there's an Easter egg you can click on. Last week's and this week's are Issac via Tim Sale paintings of possible spoilers for the November 20th "Homecoming" episode (Warning: even the links could potentially describe spoilers).
And to support Greg Grunberg's Pediatric Epilepsy Project, the entire cast of Heroes has drawn interpretations of their characters to help raise funds for the organization.
Another good fan site is Heroes TV.com, also a good source for fan discussion and whatnot.
Comic Book Resources has started a weekly column called Behind The Eclipse where they talk to writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite and they provide some answers (and some more questions). This week's installment ends with a teaser for Monday's episode "Seven Minutes Until Midnight": "The password is Kanyakumari." Previous installments can be found (in reverse order) here and here.
And there's the Heroes Envy fanlisting. Go and add your name to the roll.
And between the parents getting DSL, and setting up my PSP's downloading capabilities, I am discovering the wonderful world of Podcasting. One that's 4 episodes so far is The Ninth, an hour and a half but the time goes by so fast. A new one that started last Sunday is Sidekicks that's about 20 minutes long and a one-man show so far.
And the press seems to be taking notice, too. Here's Entertainment Weekly's cover story from this week. The poll on favorite character is still active as of this writing (with results similar to CBR's poll they've got going, too). Newsweek did a story, too; but not as positive. TV Guide did a cover story for their October 23-29th issue. I can't find a specific link, but here's their page about the show. And E! Online has an spoiler filled article by Kristin Veitch that ends with what actor will play the part of Sylar.
