History

Genesis

Micah Sanders is reading Issue #13 which has a large blue monster on the cover and is subtitled 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. The comic book also depicts Hiro and Ando's flight to LAX seated on opposite sites of another passenger, and their rental of a Nissan Versa.

Better Halves

At the Sanderses' home, Micah shows D.L. his comic collection, including 9th Wonders!, Issue #9.

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 male student 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.

Godsend

Simone is incredulous that Hiro is truly the character from Isaac's graphic novel.

.07%

In his gallery, Mr. Linderman shows Nathan a painting of Hiro saving a Japanese schoolgirl--an image very similar to one from 9th Wonders!, Issue #14.

Isaac gives the line art for the final issue of 9th Wonders! to a courier, who is excited to learn that Hiro will be time traveling to the future.

In Mohinder's apartment, Sylar picks up a piece of the back page of an issue of 9th Wonders! that lists Isaac's address.

Five Years Gone

After realizing Future Hiro's ability to travel through time, Mohinder picks up a copy of 9th Wonders! and comments to Matt that Isaac's comics were irregularly predictive in nature, with the exception of the particular edition in Hiro's loft. Later, Mohinder lethally injects the Haitian, killing him and allowing the use of abilities for Hiro to escape. Mohinder points to the comic and tells Hiro that he was supposed to save Hiro. He gives him the comic and tells him to leave. Future Hiro, after being shot, gives Ando a page from the comic that he kept in his coat. Hiro and Ando teleport to the past, where Hiro looks at the cover of the 9th Wonders! edition.

The Hard Part

While standing atop Charles Deveaux's rooftop, Hiro and Ando look at drawings from the final issue. They hit a setback in reading the prophecies because the captions have not yet been filled in. Later, outside Virginia Gray's apartment, the men look at more images from the last issue. Ando uses a panel that depicts his own gruesome death to encourage Hiro to kill Sylar.

Hiro's blog

• In the post "Where to Begin...", Hiro says, "I found a comic starring me. I went to the author to find him dead with his brain missing...I came back to present day Tokyo with the comic book in hand, my only proof that I went to the future." He says again, "I found a comic book with me on the cover. \(^o^)/ Wow! That's so cool, but quite perplexing." After paying over 1000 yen for the comic, Hiro says, "The comic book retold everything I did yesterday. (?-?) I found the author's address on the back of the comic book." Hiro wonders if all American comic books put the address of their authors on the back. In Isaac's loft, Hiro finds "an unfinished comic of myself. The first panel was me talking on the phone. The second panel was me looking at my watch. The third panel was me with eyes wide open with a look of shock. The fourth panel was empty."
• In a post called "Let It Ride", Hiro says he used "Mister Isaku's comic as my strategy guide." However, Hiro says, "The comic doesn't talk about how to use the power. I guess that's my own fault for just blindly following a strategy guide."
• In the post "Mudslide", Hiro says, "Now I know why I was sent to Las Vegas by the comic book."
• Hiro writes a post entitled "Practice Makes Perfect" in which he says that Micah "seemed to know about 9th Wonders. Is it a popular comic book?"
• A post called "Hard Choices" has Hiro saying "I don't know how Mr. Isaac's comic book would have ended, but I have to create my own."
