Supervillain! Covered

So, Supervillain!: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide to the world of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has now been published, but in related news allow me to present the front cover.

Supervillain!: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide to the world of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is available now.

Announcing Supervillain!: An Unauthorised And Unofficial Guide To The World Of Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog

I've written a book! It's called Supervillain!: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide to the World of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It's an 'episode guide' to Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog online and the comics that followed it. It's available here and now.

But "what is Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog?", I hear you ask
In 2008, during the writer's strike, Whedons Joss, Zack and Jed and Maurissa Tancharoen wrote and shot a musical comedy-drama starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion and released it online.

It's a musical romantic comedy love triangle in which the villain is the hero and the hero is the villain.

It's funny, yet tragic. I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, but this is phenomenal. The songs are intelligent, funny and well worth your time. It's brilliant and if you haven't seen it, you really should. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Supervillain!: An Unauthorised And Unofficial Guide To The World Of Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog is available now.

Both the Anniversary Edition of Time Shadows, which I wrote a story for, and its sequel Second Nature, which I had nothing to do with, are available, featuring all the illustrations from the print versions and is presented in EPUB, MOBI and PDF formats.

Horrified to hear of the death Stephen Hawking. He was a beacon in the search for knowledge and truth.

Meanwhile @Jeremy_Hunt must be breathing a sigh of relief upon hearing the same news.

This is an all time favorite piece of performance/animation reference for me. Actress Kathryn Pogson goes through so many emotional states in such a short period of time, to astounding comic effect. I laugh out loud every time I see it. pic.twitter.com/ezTO06enAB
