Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

So far I have watched the first two episodes of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and all I can say is that it is amazing. I have been a fan of Joss Whedon for a while, I always watched Buffy and Angel and became a fan of Firefly and Serenity. I also love his comic work, especially Astonishing X-Men. 

The web series stars Neil Patrick Harris as Billy aka Doctor Horrible, who is a villain who is like a mad scientist. Nathan Fillion plays Captain Hammer who is a super hero and Doctor Horribles arch-nemesis. Rounding out the cast is Felicia Day who is Doctor Horrible's love interest and a volunteer at a homeless shelter. 

The first two episodes of the show are already posted at: http://drhorrible.com/ and the next episode will be available Saturday July 19. Also the episode are available for download from iTunes.

In other Joss Whedon news, he will be on hand at San Diego Comic-con doing panels for Doctor Horrible and Dollhouse. Here are his panels and viewings straight from the Comic-con website:
