New Heroes web comics will begin on Tuesday, April 15 (that’s tomorrow!). EW.com got a preview of the first one and has a panel up on their site if you want to check it out. Writer Chuck Kim says the new installments will focus on The Company. We’ll see Bob, Elle, The Haitian and a little HRG, as well as several new characters: Donna Dunlap (who we’ll meet in the first comic), Thompson, Jr. (son of HRG’s former boss), a mother-daughter team, an engaged pair of agents, and Felcia, a trainer of new recruits. Several of the new characters will eventually turn up on episodes. Check http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/ each Tuesday for new installments of the web comic.
Heroes Television has some new info on the upcoming webisodes. Apparently, they aren’t just off-season fare. Additional chapters will roll out throughout the season. Each chapter will weave online with on-air creative to enhance the Heroes experience. Season 3 of Heroes 360 (online content) will expand the Heroes universe further with webisodes, online manhunts for the villains, the addition of more micro sites, wireless iTV interactivity and the ability to view the graphic novel on mobile platforms. The webisodes premiere in July.
