Joss Whedon has a plan. In fact, he has a new short 3-part film, Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day.

It's being released as a series of three online videos today, Thursday, and Saturday. Then it's disappearing Sunday night, to be available later via paid download and DVD.

But what I can talk about is comics.
