* On [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19125 Season Three, Week 10] of CBR's Behind the eclipse, Heroes [[Portal:Writers|writers]] [[Aron Coleite]] and [[Joe Pokaski]] confirmed that [[NBC]] used "scabs," or Non-[[wikepedia:Writers Guild of America|WGA]] writers, to produce content during the [[wikipedia:2007-2008 WGA Strike|2008 Writers Strike]] without the consent of the Heroes [[Portal:Writers|creative staff]]. This calls into question the canoncy of GN's published during this period.
GNs listed with <font color=#FF0000>Red</font> issue numbers I personally consider deuterocanon (less than the near canon level of the Black numbered GNs and Heroes Evolutions) for the following reasons:
**GN's in <font color=#B452CD>'''pink'''</font> were either written during this period or directly relate to those that were. Their content has yet to be recognized by other media or confirmed canon/not canon by the Heroes creative staff to my own satisfaction.
# Some of the writers who wrote the red media were scabs [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19125], Writers who are not members of the WGA. These people were used by NBC create content in lieu of the WGA writers during the [[wikipedia:2007-2008 WGA Strike|Writers Strike]], during which the Heroes staff writers were not allowed to write anything for Heroes or exercise any oversight.
**GN's in <font color=#FF0000>'''red'''</font> were written during this period. They have been confirmed not canon to my satisfaction by Coleite and Pokaski by their following statement:
# The time frame in which all but GN 75 ''{{ep|gn75}}'' take place is out of synch with events in the rest of the Heroes story. Specifically, the following elements are out of synch:
:::{{blurb|width = |color= |border= |padding= }}...So things like the Sanjog arc or “Ben Franklin as a Hero,” that so had nothing to do with us{{blurbclose}}
::A) -- [[Nathan]] is [[:Image:Baby Nathan.jpg|a baby]] when [[Linderman]] visits [[Arthur]] in ''[[Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 5|WB pt 5]]''. However, [[Linda Tavara]]'s encounter of Linderman in ''[[Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 7|WB pt 7]]'' places this this meeting at a point where Nathan would be older than his apparent age in ''[[Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 5|WB pt 5]]''.
::B) -- The Sanjog arc, the Hana and Drucker arc, and {{ep|gn77}} take place in [[2008 (actual)|2008]], significantly ahead of the point in the story where we left it in ''[[Powerless]]''.
:::i) -- If the Company is destroyed, defeated, or otherwise rendered nonexistent, inoperative, or inert before then, this will cause major plot holes.

Notes

Colored media

  • On Season Three, Week 10 of CBR's Behind the eclipse, Heroes writers Aron Coleite and Joe Pokaski confirmed that NBC used "scabs," or Non-WGA writers, to produce content during the 2008 Writers Strike without the consent of the Heroes creative staff. This calls into question the canoncy of GN's published during this period.
    • GN's in pink were either written during this period or directly relate to those that were. Their content has yet to be recognized by other media or confirmed canon/not canon by the Heroes creative staff to my own satisfaction.
    • GN's in red were written during this period. They have been confirmed not canon to my satisfaction by Coleite and Pokaski by their following statement:
...So things like the Sanjog arc or “Ben Franklin as a Hero,” that so had nothing to do with us
