Praise for Dr. Horrible (Second Edition)

"With a script from Zack, all the characters feel suitably authentic and the colorful, cartoony art captures the anarchic feel of the original perfectly."--SFX MAGAZINE

"Zack Whedon . . . delivers an origin story worthy of the not-so-good doctor."--IGN

"You can almost imagine which moments would be sung, and it leaves you wanting more of this universe, these characters, as Whedon's worlds tend to make people do."--GIZMODO

"Fans of [Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog] will enjoy this book. If you've never watched the episodes, you can still come into this comic and follow along with the characters."--COMIC VINE

"The great thing about Dr. Horrible is that in a comic book world, he defies the conventional categories. He's neither a hero nor a villain. He's just a human being who wants to be loved. And who wears goggles and carries a freeze ray. And who periodically breaks into song."--TECHLAND

"Almost all the ingredients that made the Internet short so special are [in the comic]. Witty lines, great characterization. The only thing that couldn't be translated was a musical number (for obvious reasons), but when you have writing this breezy and fun, it's not even missed."--iF MAGAZINE
