Okay Whedon haters, you can skip this post as there is nothing you’ll want to read here.

The first installment of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog dropped today (streaming via Hulu), and at first the episode looked to be really lame - Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) reading e-mails on his video blog.  But wait a couple minutes and the music kicks in and becomes a really wonderful little piece full of comedy, romance, and yes, music.

The entire three part series is only going to online this week only, so if you like Whedon, evil villains looking for love, and musicals (who doesn’t love a musical?) then point your browser to Dr. Horrible’s site.

Oh, and that getup Dr. Horrible is wearing is the exact same costume for another superhero action adventure film showing up somewhere in the near future.

Update: Even though this three act musical is said to only be available for one week, and only available at the Dr. Horrible website, you can download all three episodes and keep them for as long as you like via the iTunes Store.

It’s a long one, but something to occupy your Friday.

I’m betting you see this animated flick before the next installment of the Ultimate Hulk/Wolverine smack down.

And the series continues…

Seems the three day weekend, did nothing for “breaking news”, instead there is a plethora of video clips and what-not hitting the interwebs today.

I really hope the third season of Heroes is better than season two.  I’m still not convinced adding more characters to the storyline is going to make the show better, but the story turn this season seems to be interesting.  I wonder if Kring will bring forth giant robots to hunt down the mutants at season’s end.

Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons chats about the Watchmen movie.

Let’s see how long this video will stay up before Warner Bros. takes it down.

If your name happens to be Russell, and/or you don’t want to see some spoilers, FOR JEEBUS SAKE, DON’T WATCH!

Can not wait until movie day!

Check out this trailer for the upcoming 128-page graphic novel Minions of Ka being put out by Silent Devil Productions and Arcana Studios in late August/early September.

Does that voice sound familiar?  That’s Danny Aiello.

“This is a very exciting, innovative project,” said co-creator/writer Michael Furno, “I think people are going to be very surprised when they see the things we’re doing. It’s a fresh new look on zombies. We create a whole new world by challenging a lot of preconceived notions. I think people are going to be blown away.”

For those that like the behind the scenes stuff, here’s a news story that features the controversy, the creators, and yes, Italian Spiderman.
