Striking Out: Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog

Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog was born from the 2007 Writers
Strike as a bold new way to take power back from the studios. Or
at least, that’s one version of the story. Another involves a
long-gestating podcast project. Yet another involves Jeff Bezos.





A 42 Minute webseries that apparently earned Joss Whedon more
money than The Avengers, Dr Horrible was released almost six
months after the Writers Strike but is indelibly tied to it. But
was it the first of many, or lightning in a bottle?





CONTENT WARNING: Joss Whedon has been accused of abuse,
harassment, racism, bullying and gaslighting, by a number of
former co-workers and his ex-wife. He denies all suggestions of
misconduct.
