Like many shows last year, the second season of Heroes was cut short due to the writer’s strike, so I won’t hold it against them that it was perhaps even more anti-climactic than the end of season 1. That said, Tim Kring and Co. have a lot to make up for this season, as Heroes has been seriously stretching the limits of watchability in my opinion, and I’m on the verge of losing interest. So now imagine my excitement when I heard this juicy little scoop about two new faces who might be joining the show this season. (Note: That was sarcasm.)

According to Entertainment Weekly, Seth Green and Breckin Meyer have signed on to star in multiple episodes of the third season of Heroes as — get this — comic book geeks who “cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes”. Great, so now we’re going to have these two fanboys babbling on about the rules of comic books and how things are supposed to happen. That just sounds HILARIOUS. I guess it’s supposed to be cool because Green and Meyer are best buds in real life and they actually read comics, but this does not bode well for Season 3 if you ask me. It should still be considered a rumour right now, but Michael Ausiello claims that multiple sources have confirmed it for him. Season 3 premieres on Mon. Sept. 22nd … are you looking forward to it?
