Kevin Smith to direct an ep of “Heroes: Origins”

Kevin Smith has been tapped to direct an episode of the Heroes spin-off series Heroes: Origins. The show will run during the idiotic long break during mid-season and will depict how certain people’s newfound powers affect those around them. Expect a couple obscure references to fanboy movies, explanations as to why it’s impossible for a certain hero to have sex, at least one donkey show and constant beeping of expletives as you stare glassy eyed into the tv.

Just for kicks, here are some pics of the cast of Heroes from Comic-Con. More after the jump.
