pretty interesting stuff! Looks like HRG might seem like the good guy to his cronies, but have ulterior motives. Hana got him a DNA alteration formula!!! Could he create "supers" with this or undo their abilities?!? If he could create then he could make an army of "supers"! He would need Sylar's ability to see exactly how to change the DNA to get the effect that he wants.
Funny how we talk about DNA this and DNA that, when the symbol that appears on Jessica's back (and on a chain around the Haitian's neck) is linked to RNA.  |

RNA = single helix
DNA = double helix
So the symbols look more like RNA or are VERY stylized DNA.
I recently read that a researcher was able to breed mice with white feet, against their DNA genotype, because they had RNA from their parents (as well as the DNA) which was expressed. And if I remember correctly, for any gene in DNA to be expressed, it has to be transcribed to a protein using RNA. I doubt the writers are going to be so complicated as to make RNA an important factor, though. |

Well, they already made it an important factor through symbology alone, so I doubt they'll start down-playing RNA now.
Only tangentially related, but was anyone able to find the Easter egg in this one, cuz I sure could not.  |

| I would not be surprised if some or all of the writers don't know that RNA exists or don't know the difference between DNA and RNA. |

In most of the graphic novels you can click on a page of it and it will take you to a new website with a picture or one of Isaac's paintings. It is like finding an "Easter Egg" or little bonus.
Additionally, I did not find one in this graphic novel. |
