==Concluded==
If I've got one thing not to like about this its the "to be concluded in two weeks" part. Why not just the usual to be continued, and why give a date? Didn't like that bit at all. Overall though, I really liked it, and have a sneaky suspicion that Barbara's ability is precognition, since all they did was draw. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 07:32, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
*I hope not. I HATE that ability, and I'm glad it wasn't used in season 4.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 16:28, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
**It was, if you count the precognitive dreaming. And there was the ambiguous thing that Lydia did, showing Samuel who to recruit. —[[User:Frungi|Frungi]] 12:01, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
***Given the cancelation of Heroes, it IS going to be concluded in two weeks, with the last graphic novel. Ironic, huh?--[[User:Jmfdr91|Jmfdr91]] 00:22, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

==Simone==
Holy crap, so they did not forget about her? I guess this ruins her winning streak of succesfully not appearing or being referenced in every subsequent season. Enjoyable novel though. It's fun to learn about these characters who have played such an important part in the story. --[[User:Smouvy|Smouvy]] 07:41, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
* You mean Barbara? Where is Simone? By the way, Mr. Zimmerman has a nasty german accent! Who is "ze new boy"? [[The German]]? --[[User:Juba|Juba]] 09:26, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
**Simone was the girl with Barbara. --{{User:Jenx222/sig4}} 10:40, 11 May 2010 (EDT)</span>
*** Does it mean that Simone did have an ability after all? {{User:Altes/Signature}} 12:01, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
**** It seemed to indicate that they were testing for an ability ("we were just drawing stuff"), but I think her lack of interest in the comic is meant to imply that nothing interesting happened, meaning she didn't have an ability.--[[User:NovaX81|NovaX81]] 12:30, 15 May 2010 (EDT)

==Primatech walls==
Did anyone else catch the guy in the background painting the Primatech walls from red to green??  I thought that was a nice little easter egg for people who notice those type of things.  --[[User:D Toccs|D Toccs]] 08:35, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
* I love details like that. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:36, 11 May 2010 (EDT)

==Elle's mother==
So Elle's mother is definetely not Leona Mills. Because Leona was believed to be dead while Rachel was young (except by Angela). Are we thinking she is a normal human? --[[User:Blood69|Blood69]] 20:40, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
*At the very least, she knows about EH. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 20:47, 11 May 2010 (EDT)

==Part 8 predictions==
Dr. Jonas Zimmerman (The German's father) and his wife (http://heroeswiki.com/Image:Zimmermanthegermanniki.jpg) adopt Barbara; Hal Sanders (Adam Monroe's descendant) and Kelly Sullivan (Samuel's relative) adopt Nicole; M. Strauss (Dr. Henry’s relative) and Rebecca Rosenthal (http://heroeswiki.com/Image:Screenshot-18.png) adopt Tracy . . .

Barbara Zimmerman: Cerebral Illusion or Temporal/Spatial Body insertion (Exposed Future Peter's abilities), Niki Sanders: Biologically Enhanced strength, Tracy Strauss: Elemental Freezing?

Eleanor Bishop (Noah Gray's mother) and "Kane" (Sophie Covington's husband) first meet; "Richard Sanders" (Micah's ancestor) and Barbara (the new boy's sister) are introduced; Simone Deveaux (the girl's friend) and "The German" (the girl's brother) stop them . . . -- [[User:Mike the Man-child!|Mike the Man-child!]]

*<big>What are you on about?</big> --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 08:03, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
*Yes, enough with the fanfic diarreah please. It was making sense until the last paragraph. --[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 13:00, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
**Wth?--{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 15:36, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
*Stuff Completely Wrong About This Which Is Coming Out Of High Suspicion Without Hints or Clues and Stupidity:
#The German's Father=Zimmerman? Not True.
#Hal Sanders is not Adam's descendent. That is crazy.
#Kelly Sullivan is not related to Samuel. People '''can''' have the same last name without being related to one another
#Henry Strauss and M. Strauss ''might'' be true but that is '''way''' high suspicion
#Barbara's ability is pulled out of no where
#Noah Gray's mom=Elle. WRONG! Noah Gray doesn't exist any more! 1) Elle is dead so it can't happen and 2) the future has changed! Completely ridiculous!!!!!!!
#Sophia Covington and Kane? I don't even know those people so thats just weird.
#Richard Sanders is not related to Micah. People '''can''' have the same last name without being related to one another
#The German coming back at all is ridiculous too.
All in all, your "post" is completely ridiculous and wrong. {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 19:17, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
*Can't we all get along?--{{User:PJDEP/signature1}} 19:24, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
**Yeah, it's what I want to happen . . . Elle to run away from Noah, find Adam locked in his cell . . . feel bad and relate with him, use Barbara to help him escape . . . but Simone and "The German" warn Charles, who helps them stop the girls . . .  -- [[User:Mike the Man-child!|Mike the Man-child!]]

==Part 8 is the last graphic novel?==

I am assuming in light of the cancellation, part 8 will be the end?--[[User:Blood69|Blood69]] 04:39, 15 May 2010 (EDT)
*Part 8 will be the end, although I'm fairly certain that was decided before the show had been cancelled.--{{User:PJDEP/signature1}} 23:30, 15 May 2010 (EDT)
**I have a sneaking suspicion Part 8 will be incredibly un-epic, and a disappointment after the 16-week wait. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 08:18, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
***Of course it will, this entire 8 part summer event has been entirely un-epic and a disappointment.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 11:53, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
****True.  It just sucks that much more because it's the final GN. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 12:14, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
*****Yeah. The best GN story arc was the whole Evs Dropper thing. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 12:28, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
******I like [[Turning Point]]. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 12:40, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
*******I think my favorite is still [[String Theory]]--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 18:50, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
********String Theory's cool because we learn more about that future, but it's somewhat uneventful. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 18:51, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
*Actually, there's [http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?showtopic=71407&hl= a thread on 9th Wonders] where NBC want to know whether or not to keep the Graphic Novels and the site going. I'd head over there and let them know. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 06:48, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
**Well, I HOPE NBC is genuinely thinking about keeping the novels going. This seems like it could be a landslide in favor of bringing back the series as comics. We might actually get some new characters for a change.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 20:10, 19 May 2010 (EDT)

==?==
Where is part 8? --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 11:37, 25 May 2010 (EDT)
*Cancelled along with the series? They're probably just delayed. At least I HOPE that's why it isn't out yet.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 19:31, 25 May 2010 (EDT)
**WTH, it's like 2 days late. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 21:40, 25 May 2010 (EDT)
**" I did press YES on the last panel! --[[User:Juba|Juba]] 06:46, 26 May 2010 (EDT)
*** :D --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 07:04, 26 May 2010 (EDT)
**** I think the worst part about this is that no one in a position of control over these comics seems to know anything. --[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 09:52, 28 May 2010 (EDT)
***** One week late.  Uggg... --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 08:37, 1 June 2010 (EDT)
****** I don't know if this is the case or not, but I wonder if they've pulled the last GN and are rewriting it to wrap up some storylines a bit... I wouldn't mind waiting some extra time for that. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 06:12, 2 June 2010 (EDT)
******* It's already been a 17-week wait. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 07:50, 2 June 2010 (EDT)
******* According to Grigsby and Zach, the GN's been done for over a week now, it's just NBC that still hasn't put it up yet. --'''[[User:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Ricard</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Desi</font>]]''' 08:34, 2 June 2010 (EDT)
******** This is going well beyond the realm "Oliver Grisgby was late with the script". We're solidly into "NBC just doesn't want to hit the post button, and none of the people involved want to break protocol and put it up on their personal blogs" territory.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 10:48, 3 June 2010 (EDT)

== "the new boy" ==

...might actually be a young Gabriel Gray.  He would be about 17 in 1991. --'''[[User:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Ricard</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Desi</font>]]''' 12:43, 25 May 2010 (EDT)
*That would be awesome.  And we would know why Angela had so much dirt on the Gray family.  --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 12:49, 25 May 2010 (EDT)

== Part 8 will not be issued ==
In light of the fact the writers were fired, I think it can be safely said there will be no Part 8. There is no financial advantage to NBC.--[[User:Blood69|Blood69]] 21:32, 2 June 2010 (EDT)
* I'm not sure where you're making that assumption. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:24, 2 June 2010 (EDT)
**It said at the end of Part 7 that there would be a Part 8 and I'd bet you more than anything that it was already done before they cancelled it. So there is no reason ''not'' to release it.--[[User:Iheartheroes|Iheartheroes]] 23:35, 2 June 2010
*** Well, even if it was done, there could be a whole host of reasons why it's late. Most likely, they're waiting for this lawsuit to blow over.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 10:53, 3 June 2010 (EDT)
****I don't see why they'd wait for the lawsuit to finish. It's not as though it takes ages to put it up... and it doesn't cost them anything... plus, it's not even on the topic of the carnival. <small>unless it is?</small> --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 10:56, 3 June 2010 (EDT)
***** Possible, for all we know, the new boy could be Joseph, using his empathic mimicry to copy the age manipulation ability from the Russian--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 11:04, 3 June 2010 (EDT)
****** What is the advantage to NBC to release this novel? Because NBC will not release it to capture more ratings or get more fans to watch the show. It certainly won't be able to use it get more DVD sales. So why do it and risk another potential lawsuit? If a show is cancelled, then Buffy Season 8 excepted (which started long after Angel was cancelled), then all things bar DVD sales around it tend to be gone. So what is their motivation to release it, Ryangibsonstewart, Iheartheroes and Gibbeynator?--[[User:Blood69|Blood69]] 07:42, 6 June 2010 (EDT)
******* Because it is a single comic, will generate traffic, and is at no cost to NBC. --'''[[User:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Ricard</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Desi</font>]]''' 19:22, 6 June 2010 (EDT)
******** These things are like 5 pages long...'''come on.''' What have they got to lose?  They've had us waiting for this GN for almost ''17 weeks''. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 19:25, 6 June 2010 (EDT)
********* It's a matter of advertising. Nissan pays for the comics to be released and to have their advertisement plastered at the front of the novel. NBC makes their graphic novel money through advertising. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:24, 7 June 2010 (EDT)
******* Well, they don't really have any reason to release it now. However, we've been waiting for resolution to this story for nearly 18 weeks now, so they run the risk being fanboy crucified.--[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 06:48, 7 June 2010 (EDT)
********'''''<big>Two weeks late.</big>'''''  --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 08:01, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
********* But maybe they're leaving it for today, or tomorrow to keep it with the 2weeks apart thing. Maybe, lets just think happy thoughts until its come. --[[User:Scorvi12|Scorvi12]] 08:06, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
********** Scorvi12, this is a ''four'' week wait now. --{{User:Boycool42/sig1}} 08:19, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
*********** https://twitter.com/OliverGrigsby/status/15727345983 --[[User:Gibbeynator|Gibbeynator]] 21:07, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
*That's odd. I don't see why NBC won't release the damn thing, there aren't any consquences that I can think of.--{{User:PJDEP/signature1}} 21:17, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
**It was really bad, that's probably why they postponed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] 19:46, 9 June 2010 (EDT)
