I love Dr. Horrible and got a huge laugh from these interconnecting comics that shed plenty of light on the backstory from the original web series!! This series is wonderful. Fingers crossed for a Dr. Horrible 2!!

Based off of the musical web-series, Doctor Horrible is excellent. If you enjoyed the musical you'll really enjoy this story.

Really ties together with the film and it is nice to see where it all starts.
