9th Wonders!

Issue 14 of 9th Wonders! by Isaac Mendez

9th Wonders! is the name of a prophetic comic book, created by the New York, NY artist Isaac Mendez.

About

Genesis

Micah Sanders is reading Issue 13 which has a large purple monster on the cover and is titled "I Fought Uluru."

Don't Look Back

Hiro Nakamura notices himself on the cover of a copy at a newsstand in New York City. It's Issue #14 of the comic, subtitled "Hiro arrives in New York." It tells the tale of Hiro as he travels to New York and back, up through his departure with Ando for Las Vegas, NV.

One Giant Leap

Hiro uses the book to convince his friend Ando of his powers when he saves a little girl from getting hit by a truck in the exact same manner as is written in the comic book.

Better Halves

At the Sanderses' home, Micah shows D.L. his comic collection, including several issues of 9th Wonders!

Nothing to Hide

When Hiro and Ando meet D.L. and Micah, Hiro shows Micah his copy of Issue #14 from the future, and tells him about his powers.

Homecoming

As Claire Bennet walks with Zach through Union Wells High School, she's congratulated on winning Homecoming Queen by various unpopular kids, including one who is reading Issue #13 of 9th Wonders!.

Fallout

Hiro and Ando finally meet up with Isaac Mendez in Midland, TX. Hiro shows Isaac Issue #14. Isaac is amazed, claiming the issue hasn't even gone to the publisher yet.

Notes

• According to the cover of Issue #14, 9th Wonders! is published by "Uncle Burk's Fine Comics". The Symbol also appears on the cover of Issues #5 and #14.
• It's interesting to note that Issue 14, on newsstands five weeks in the future, contains events from both the present and future timelines. Therefore, depending on when Isaac drew it, it's possible that he accurately depicted both past (or at least present) and future events. Simone does mention that the comic is late; she must mean Issue #14, because #13 is already published and Isaac later tells Hiro #14 hasn't gone to the publisher. Therefore, the issue does in fact depict both present and future events, and Isaac's power is perhaps broader than imagined.
• It's also unclear whether Isaac realizes the comic is predicting future events, or whether he uses heroin when he produces it.
• In multiple interviews, the writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite have said that 9 is an important number in the world of Heroes.
