Review: Dr. Horrible

From the moment Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog hit the intardwebz, fans of musical comedies, with a superhero hook have been in seventh heaven. While there have been a couple of attempts to tell a Dr. Horrible origin story, the official take on the villain’s past can only be found in the pages of Dr. Horrible #1 from Dark Horse Comics.

Hero History: Sensor Girl

Or – “In Every Woman, There Is A Queen…”

Generally speaking, my favorite Legionnaires are the ones who are most positive and fun: Bouncing Boy and Matter-Eater Lad, making up for less-impressive powers by force of personality. Blok, with his thoughtful, yet upbeat alien nature. Volume four’s Lightning Lass, with her “all wilts in worry, grows in sunshine” serenity combined with her ability to stay positive while kicking your @$$. But today’s entrant is a bit different… Of the seven Legionnaires currently stuck in their past on their mysterious mission of mercy, she is the most esoteric, the one with the hardest to define powers, and the one who’s nature is furthest from my own. Though initially the first Hero History subject who wasn’t a favorite character, I am very gratified to report that once I did my research, (though perusing back-issues is hardly WORK, since sitting in a comfy chair with a soda reading a comic is probably my native habitat) she has revealed herself to be noble, possessed of a heroic nature, and occasionally wont to wear costumes that show more skin than Fred Dukes in a speedo. Originally, like Blok and Dawnstar, she used her real name as her alias, but paradoxically found her greatest fame under a mask. This is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Projectra of Orando… Sensor Girl!
