HEROES: "ANGELS AND MONSTERS"NBC has released a description of "Angels and Monsters," the Monday, Oct. 13 episode of Heroes:
Here's how the network describes the epsiode:
"Armed with H.R.G.'s (Jack Coleman) old files and a taser, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) attempts to take down her first target -- Stephen Canfield (Andre Royo), a Level 5 escapee with the ability to create black holes -- unaware that others are closing in. "Meanwhile, in horror, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) flees from all the death and destruction in the future, only to grimly discover how deeply the experience has changed him. Frustrated that Adam Monroe (guest star David Anders) didn't get them closer to 'the formula,' Hiro (Masi Oka) takes a stab at becoming friends with Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) and new associate Knox (guest star Jaime Hector), much to Ando's (James Kyson Lee) dismay.
"Later, Suresh's (Sendhil Ramamurthy) urge to correct research errors puts Maya (Dania Ramirez), among others, in a sticky situation. Linderman (guest star Malcolm McDowell) advises Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) to stick by Tracy (Ali Larter), seeing that they could accomplish great things together.
"In Africa, Matt (Greg Grunberg) sees his vision of 'happily ever after' destroyed."

BLUEWATER'S HILLARY CLINTON BIO-COMICBluewater Productions has announced a biography comic book featuring former presedential candidate, Sen. Hillary Clinton, targeted for January and Inauguration Day.
Female Force: Hillary Clinton, a 32-page comic book, will be written by Neal Bailey, with art and cover by Daniel Crosier.
"We're excited to bring this book to the table," said Jason Schultz, Bluewater's vice president. "There are a couple comics focusing on John McCain and Barack Obama; we wanted to feature Hilary, who broke all the rules in this election and made history"
Publisher Darren G. Davis said, "John McCain and Barack Obama have all of the spotlight. Our goal is to show the historical impact that may be underrated by those who are too faceted on the candidates to fully understand the historical impact of being a few votes short for the first female president. Many people are daunted by the endless stream of articles on the candidates. A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without losing any of the information involved."
"I am writing Hillary Clinton from a perceptive of someone who did not admire her at first and throughout the process of research has come to admire and be utterly fascinated by what is obviously the most underrated historical figure in modern history," Bailey said.
