How did I miss this one?
Nov. 5th, 2010 11:20 pmSexual Rhetoric in the Works of Joss Whedon - due out on 26th January 2011. Not sure how I didn't see the original announcement for it but it certainly sounds interesting from the blurb:
Topics covered include the role of virginity, lesbianism and homoeroticism in the shows and the comics, the nature of masculinity and femininity and gender stereotypes, an exploration of sexual binaries, and a ranking of the Buffy characters on the Kinsey scale of sexuality.

So much Jossverse goodness
Jul. 26th, 2009 10:20 pmFrom CBR, in the coming months there will be:
an adaptation of "The Cabin in the Woods"
new "Dr. Horrible" comic books
comic book version of "The Guild"
Patton Oswalt is working on a "Serenity" comic book about Wash
a Joss-written one-shot in December focusing on Willow.
Also from CBR, Bill Willingham will be the new AtS writer. From the sounds of the interview, he's got some interesting ideas about where the series is going to go after issue #27.
WOOHOO!

Well that was moist
Dec. 5th, 2008 11:35 pmNo, really, that was Moist (or at least his origin story) as written by Zack Whedon. I liked the story although the art not so much. Funny yet poignant and I love the splicing into Dr. Horrible's story.
The cover and blurb for this volume are in the Comics Continuum Dark Horse December solicitations

DHS-AB Act III
Jul. 19th, 2008 11:36 pmThe third act is available here. Every bit as good as the first two - but dark and twisted this time! WOOHOO!
David Fury and Marti Noxon as singing news readers! WOOHOO!
Drew Goddard and Doug Petrie in the Evil League of Evil! WOOHOO!
Finish now, all "WOOHOO'ed" out.
Nope one more. WOOHOO!
Finished.

DHS-AB Act II
Jul. 17th, 2008 11:35 pmAct II is available here. And even though I didn't think it possible, even better than Act I. And much more of the usual Joss pathos in there. Dr. Horrible may be the nominal villain but Capt. Hammer is the real Big Bad of the peace.
YAY for Dr. Horrible!
BOO! Captain Hammer. BOO!
ETA: "the keys to a shiny new Austrlia" - OK that crosses the boundaries of good taste! ;-)

A (Doctor) Horrible day
Jul. 16th, 2008 07:39 pmI managed to slide three Dr. Horrible-isms into my conversation at work, today, two of which worked and one, not so much.
First, on the difficulty of aligning internal procedures to changing external requirements: "The status is not quo!"
Rating: Public understanding 10/10 Humour: 7/10
Second, during discussion of people making bad decisions due to an overestimation of their own importance: "That's so Johnny Snow!"
Rating: Public understanding 0/10 Humour: 1/10
Third, on inadequate planning with a short-term focus: "Don't plan the plan if you can't follow through."
Rating: Public understanding 10/10 Humour: 5/10
Not bad for a first effort, I feel!
