ABOUT THE SHOW
From creator/writer Tim Kring (NBC’s “Crossing Jordan”) comes the Emmy and
Golden Globe nominated “Heroes,” an epic drama that chronicles the lives of
ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.  In its
first season, “Heroes” was honored with a People’s Choice Award, an AFI
Award, a Multicultural Prism Award and this year’s TV Land Future Classic
Award and the TV Critics Association Awards’ Outstanding Program of the
Year, as well as nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, NAACP Image Awards,
WGA Awards and Satellite Awards.

After a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, seemingly calling
forth a multitude of everyday men and women with special powers, Dr.
Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy, “Blind Guy Driving”), a genetics
professor from India, continues to champion his father’s theory that there
are people with extraordinary abilities living among us.  Claire Bennet, an
indestructible high school cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere, “Bring it On: All
or Nothing”), must hide her ability from her peers while working to maintain
her relationship with her father (Jack Coleman, “Dynasty”), a man of mystery
who has a keen interest in people like her.  Niki Sanders, a Las Vegas
single mother (Ali Larter, “Final Destination”) with astonishing strength ­
and a dangerous, amoral mirror image (Jessica Sanders) ­ struggles to
support and protect her young son Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey, “My Wife & Kids”),
a genius who can interact with electronic machinery through touch.  Matt
Parkman, a police detective (Greg Grunberg, “Alias”) from Los Angeles,
attempts to put his ability to hear the thoughts of others to good use.  In
Japan, Hiro Nakamura¹s (Masi Oka, NBC’s “Scrubs”) ability to pierce the
space-time continuum and manipulate time has empowered him to change the
future, as he embarks on wild adventures with his best friend Ando Masahashi
(James Kyson Lee,  ³Shutter”). Nathan Petrelli, a congressional hopeful
(Adrian Pasdar, “Judging Amy”) with the ability to fly, has his dreams
dashed after failing to stop his younger brother Peter (Milo Ventimiglia,
“Rocky Balboa”), a nurse with the ability to absorb the powers of others,
from exploding over the New York City skyline.  And after this violent clash
in New York, the fate of Sylar, a manipulative serial killer (Zachary
Quinto, “24″) dedicated to violently collecting the extraordinary talents of
special people, is unknown.  Meanwhile, in the Dominican Republic, a young
woman named Maya Herrera (Dania Ramirez, “The Sopranos”) and her twin
brother, plagued by her threatening ability, attempt to make the dangerous
crossing to the United States in search of help. And Monica Dawson, another
young woman (Dana Davis, “The Nine”) with newfound special abilities, would
give up everything to help the people around her.  Their ultimate destiny is
nothing less than saving the world…

Joining Kring as executive producer are Dennis Hammer (NBC’s “Crossing
Jordan”), Allan Arkush (NBC’s “Crossing Jordan”) and Greg Beeman
(“Smallville”).  The drama is produced by Universal Media Studios in
association with Tailwind Productions.

I knew that this would happen sooner or later – there is now an official Heroes Magazine to accompany the show. It’s made by Titan Magazines, who I have to say do a good job with the LOST Magazine. Titled ‘Heroes Magazine’ (go figure) it will be available bi-monthly and will feature a host of Heroes goodness. Check out the details below what issue #1 and beyond has in store:

With content that only the official magazine can offer, your Heroes experience won’t be complete without it!

We kick things off in fine style – character profiles, interviews with the show’s stars, the inside track from creator Tim Kring, special features, and the latest news from the Heroes universe! You’ll find it all packed between the covers of Heroes Magazine!

SEASON ONE EPISODE GUIDE

Remember when indestructible cheerleader Claire proved she was hot by rescuing a man from a burning train, the Petrelli brothers defied the laws of gravity, and Japanese office drone Hiro took a trip to America using only the power of his mind? A group of normal people began to discover strange powers – and things got really interesting when they – and their enemies – started to interconnect! From Genesis to the thrilling climax, we guide you through the entire first season of the hit show, with an unmissable guide to all the episodes!

HEROES GROUP INTERVIEW

Heroes has one of the most impressive ensemble casts in television history, so put yourself in our shoes – who do you interview for the premiere issue of the magazine? Well, we’ve taken a swerve around that decision! Instead, we’ve covered all the bases and interviewed them all together! And talk about a Superteam – we’ve got 12 of the Heroesactors (plus two of the crew) together for a HUGE chat about the show! Join Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere, Masi Oka, and more, for this unmissable interview event!

SECRET ORIGINS

Tim Kring had never really been associated with the science fiction genre – until he made Heroesand sparked a worldwide phenomenon. Kring had made his name as producer on the dramas Chicago Hope and Providence, and, more recently, the crime procedural Crossing Jordan – but in the summer of 2004, he saw two films, The Incredibles and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, that sowed the seed for Heroes. Kring talks openly and at length about the Heroes experience – from inception, through to season one and beyond!
