"Heroes" graphic novels

I'm trying to catch up with the graphic novels NBC created for "Heroes" on its Web site. And I can kvetch a little about what an asinine page design the half-wits at the network came up for this? I've spent 15 minutes trying to read the first two pages of the first one. It's just a graphic -- no flash animation, no video, no interactive stuff.

How in the hey did NBC manage to make loading a freakin' graphic this hard? This is why technical people should not be allowed to interact with the public -- I'm sure some geek in New Jersey thought this was a sweet way to set it up.

BTW, last night's episode was pretty good. I like how they made Petrocelli fly, I hated that all of the sudden, Hiro is speaking decent English and I'm bugged that I didn't see the stripper's baby-daddy -- creepy mind eraser connection coming.

"Studio 60," on the other hand, was funny. No, not intentionally. The first 30-35 minutes, I'm sitting there thinking that it's a pretty good episode. And then there's the scene in the comedy club with Matt and Simon. That just sucked. Nobody likes to be patronized -- just ask Tom's parents (Nate Corddry). And the thing with the blacklisted writer from the '50s was every bit as awful.

The slo-mo car crash is speeding up!

UPDATE: Eli makes a great point in comments -- creepy mind guy and stripper husband are different guys. As a bald guy, I know how we can all look the same... The fifth (and latest) graphic novel makes this clear -- it just took me two hours to load the darn thing.
