There are a couple of interesting pieces that I haven't seen in the show or really know how or if they will fit into the show up on the NBC site.
This one that shows Hiro being attacked by a huge rock monster?
and this one that shows a meditating Mohinder? Envisioning the goddess Kali? who has a head in one of her hands and is on top of a pile of skulls.
More on Kali here

i did a quick review, wikipedia was more helpful i thought.
if that is Kali, then i noticed a few things. the sword and the severed head, much like how sylar kills the victims. notice the bowl in kali's hand collects the head's contents...thus she is saving the brain matter/blood/life force of those she kills. (there is almost n exact duplicate of this image at wikipedia's page where she holds the majority of shiva's weapons...who is shiva?)
funny you ask...in the hindu mythology has a counterpart Shiva, often represented as a praying man with long hair covered in white ash. shiva has certain icons also associated with him. such as a third eye (wisdom), long hair (breath of life), a crescent moon(the power of procreation--i.e. the eclipse giving the powers), some others, and a trident...(the trident -creation/sustenance/destruction and control over time).
obv, Hiro controls space/time.
notice kali in the picture is holding the trident ....to me this means that Hiro is the ket to victory for either side good or evil since it belongs to Shiva but is being held by Kali. the mystery figure is the crouching man...while we may presume it is mohinder, i think the key is the third eye- wisdom...only two men seem to be on the quest for more knowledge and have long hair...Peter and Mohinder. however mohinder was not born of the eclipse. also, mohinder is not caucasian....remember the white ash?
also, Hiro (the trident) comes back in time to find peter, not mohinder.
i'm guessing the praying man is peter......and would fit in with the current speculation.
P.S. if Kali is a girl, it still reinforces my theory that mohinder's companion is sylar.

I like to speculate as much as the next guy but I don't think that everything is a "clue"
The inclusion of Kali? Maybe the fact that one of the main characters is Hindu would have something to do with that. I may be wrong, but I think that the only reason why she's even in the artwork to begin is to represent Mohinder's crisis of faith. His dad was a scientist, he seems to be following in his footsteps, and just by default science and religion are going to clash.
Kali collecting blood in a bowl, holding a severed head? Swords, and tridents? That's just what she does! Most pictures of Kali show this. She also wears a necklace of skulls, a belt made of left hands/arms, and wears children's corpses as earrings. None of that showed up in the show does it? I really don't think that it is in anyway connected to killings in the show, or the method in which they're done.
Kali also slaughters demons, and in and of herself is symbolic of the fact that from death comes rebirth. Maybe Chandra's "death" (I don't think he's really dead, BTW) is the catalyst for the "rebirth" of Mohinder, i.e. following in his father's footsteps, as opposed to his original thought that his father was maybe a little nuts for his scientific beliefs. Just like th webcomic showing Hiro destroying an extremely valuable comic in memory of his grandfather. It's his rite of passage. He does as a sign of "growing up" and taking on his new responsibilities as a "hero."
And if I offended anyone, I'll apologize in advance, that wasn't my intent. Besides, most of you would probably agree that it appears that some people want so desperately to know the answers that they'll look for some convoluted "revelation" in just about every aspect of the show. It ain't that complicated, people.

If that's true, than I hope Sylar has the ability to shape-shift, since he's already been casted as a male actor.

Ok. I see it now. The caption for the comic on the site refers to it a "as a story from Suresh's childhood." Like I said, Kali isn't going to appear in the show because it was in the comic. His grandmother's telling him a story, and he's just visualizing it, that's all.
