During the writer's strike of 2008, evidently Jos Wheedon and a bunch of bored friends got together to produce a low budget anti-superhero romp. A musical, anti-superhero romp. Starring Neal Patrick Harris (Doogie Houser, How I Met Your Mother), Nathan Fillion (Firefly) and Felicia Day (The Guild). It's darkly campy, brilliantly funny, and deeply tragic. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is absolutely brilliant and deserves serious Hugo consideration.
