Now, his brother and "Dr. Horrible" collaborator Zack Whedon is picking up his pen to shape the future of the metallic mankind-killers via Dark Horse Comics...

Though it's hard to know whether there will be much singing (a mechanism that doesn't work very well in comics) in it, Dark Horse will unleash a brand new comic spun from Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible" universe this fall.
