In preparation for the much-hyped Heroes finale, which is spread out over three episodes, Entertainment Weekly offer five different covers which are said to contain clues for the upcoming spectacular installments of the series. "Each of Entertainment Weekly's five Heroes covers is packed with references and teasers to the finale episodes of the season," reveals the magazine when describing this covers special. EW.com even invites fans to come back in the coming days/weeks for more information about each cover.When you go to the EW.com's Heroes covers gallery, you can not only see (and analyze) the covers but if you move your mouse over the Linderman/Sylar one, you'll notice some things changing on it (can you find the other roll over features on the other covers?).
Over at USA Today's Pop Candy blog, fans were asked to post about the clues they thought they found. Here are a few of their comments:
- There is a "Missing" poster for Micah on the Nikki/Jessica/DL cover. Obviously plays into the future timeline of Micah dying.
- On the second cover, click the shard of glass by HRG's hand, and it talks about how Peter died but then really didn't.
- On the last cover, click the petals and it talks about how Linderman can heal (most likely hinting at the Internet rumors that Linderman will heal Nathan's wife).
- [The fourth poster] shows Peter with a flame in his hand, so I'm assuming he comes into contact with Claire's mom.
- The obvious "morphing" of Nathan and Sylar's faces on the presidential one with Hiro.
Entertainment Weekly also published a great five-page article on the finale episodes. The article is filled with spoilers about the upcoming episodes but also about next season.
Heroes airs Mondays on NBC.

It looks like the covers connect to each other horizontally too.

Ah you beat me to it. If you put the mouse over certain areas and click you get facts about certain characters too.

Putting them all together puts Peter at the center of the explosion. Obvious, I know, but perhaps he is truly responsible for it, not Sylar, and maybe the scar is him 'healing', but not all the way. Perhaps the energy from him that caused the explosion in NYC had split his head, thus Claire's regeneration couldn't fully work, causing the scar we saw last episode....
Does this even make sense?

Thanks for the montage Jamie. I noticed that some covers shared similar items but didn't see they all connected. That reminds me of the Smallville covers special TV Guide did a few years ago where all the covers fit together horizontally too.

Thanks for pointing out that the Nathan pic was a composite between him and Sylar. I was like... Damn, what's wrong with the normally supersexy Adrian Pasdar? I would have kept on thinking it was just a _super_ bad picture if you hadn't said anything. It seems so obvious [as you said] now. :)

RSL: I'm with you on this as the first time I saw the cover with Nathan I was wondering what went wrong in the Entertainment Weekly offices to put such an ugly pic of Adrian Pasdar! lol Seems that things were right at EW as they were clever enough to mesh both actors together to hint at the future ;)

On the cover with Sylar and Linderman, Sylar's faced is morphed with Nathan's just like Nathan's cover.

The DL/Nikki one, it is Jessica who has control of the body because it is clearly Nikki in the reflection cause she looks nice i guess you would say.
