I think Marjorie M. Liu has probably been doing the pee pee dance with excitement at this weekend’s ComiCon and she can finally tell us why:
…today it was finally announced at Comic Con that after NYX ends this month I’ll be working on a new ongoing X-Men series for Marvel called DARK WOLVERINE. I’m co-writing with Daniel Way.
Holy crapping damn, that is kick ass! Way to go! Liu was creator Way’s first choice to co-author, and while I am not a comic person I am so excited about this. Congrats to Liu on a rocking new collaboration.
In other fun news, Leslie Kelly has SBTB to thank for a few lost hours filled with Neil Patrick Harris and musical hilarity:
Just had to write to you because you guys are the ones who first turned me on to Dr. Horrible. I loved it, my whole family loved it, and hubby bought me the dvd for Christmas. We just got around to watching it (looooovee that music so much, Neil Patrick Harris is genius…saw him on stage and absolutely adore him.) Anyway, you MUST MUST get it and watch/listen to “Commentary: The Musical.” It’s a 45 minute musical commentary sung by the cast and crew and is utterly hilarious. Every song and line matches up to what’s going on in the move that’s playing in the background. (We were roaring, and just to show what musical geeks we are, hubby and I both said, in unison, “That’s so Sondheim!” in one part.)
Anyway, just had to tell you and to thank you for highlighting it on SBTB. It has truly become one of my favorite musicals (and believe me, I know my musicals.
)
That is WAY too much fun. Who wants a copy? Leave a comment and I’ll pick two lucky winners who will receive their very own Dr. Horrible DVD. Comments close in 24 hours.
Just any comment? How about I loves me some Dr. Horrible, but I haven’t heard the commentary yet and my life won’t be complete until I do? Please choose me Smart Bitch Mistress (Bitchress?) Sarah!
*Waves hand wildly* Ooh, me! Pick me! Pick me! Pleeeeease!
Please oh Please pick me!! I will be your evil henchman for life!
ooooo! Musical! Pick me! Pick me!
Five words: The hammer is my penis.
Musical commentary? …Count me in!
I will gladly Igor for a copy of this, and can supply my own hump.
My best friend has been trying to get me to watch this for ages, but university’s kept me hopping (that and when I have free time, I forget it exists). Having the DVD would ensure that I get to finally see it, which would be awesome; I’m a big fan of Joss Whedon. So, um, please?
Oh! Pick me! Pick me!! 🙂
Dr. Horrible rules!
“The world is a mess and I just need to RULE it”
Sounds awesome! Count me in!
If I could have a copy of this dvd I would be the envy of my 24 year old daughter! How often does that happen? And you could make this happen, so please pick me!
Would love a shot at winning this DVD!
Oh, pick me! Pick me!
Pick me, pick me!
Two of my favorite things in the world besides books of course, musicals and dvd commentaries! Please pick me!!
Ooooh, can I haz DVD?
Holy cow. I would be my husband’s HERO if I won this, so I better enter.
I love Joss Whedon.
I haven’t seen Dr. Horrible but am desperate to.
Can I? Can I huh? Can I please have a Dr. Horrible dvd?
pretty please?
Did you know that Suz Brockmann is a HUGH Joss Whedon fan and her and her husband paid big $$ at a charity auction to have dinner with him? There is a whole lot of stuff about it on her site..
So, do I get extra points for useless trivia?!!?
oohMEE!! I’m a huge NPH fan AND musical fan. win win!
OMG!! PLEASE!! It isn’t even for me!!! One of my Best Friends is OBSESSED with Dr. Horrible!
Dr Horrible DVD – the perfect Valentine’s Day Gift! How often do I find something my husband and I both love?
Pick meeeeee!
“It’s curtains for you. Lacy, gently wafting curtains.”
Love it! Bad Horse and his terrible death whinny!
Pick me! I need a copy for Captain (now Major) Hammer. Really!
I’ve been watching Dr. Horrible at work on my computer, bad me. But I do love him and would really like to get a chance to see/hear the commentary. Ohh, I’m crossing my fingers.
Vicki
I’d like a copy!
Yes, please!
Me, please!
I am a big NPH fan. And he’s from New Mexico, like me, so that just adds to his awesomeness! LOL
Diane :o)
I adore Dr. Horrible!
Oh, pick me, please! I’d love to see this . . . finally!
I saw the first two parts of Dr. Horrible back when it had a free website and never got around to seeing the whole thing… but NPH is awesome, and one of the many reasons that How I Met Your Mother is so good.
I’d love to win a copy. But if I don’t win, I’ve asked for a copy of Dr. Horrible and a certain guidebook for my birthday…. which just happens to be April 14th. Yay!
Me (maybe) please? It’d be fantastic!
HUGE congrats to Marjorie M Liu. THAT’S CRAZY GOOD NEWS!
“I stopped the van,
the remote control is in my hand!
What- ev- er.
Balls”
I love Dr. Horrible! I’ve been contemplating getting the DVD, too, so I can’t resist throwing my name in the hat, as they say.
Oh, pick me! I LOVE Dr. Horrible, but haven’t gotten around to getting the DVD yet. The commentary sounds wonderful!
Dark Wolverine! Dark Wolverine!
Yessssss… Excellent.
SBTB turned me on to Dr. Horrible as well. Loved it. Not as much as Firefly- but hey, they can’t all have guys who dress in women’s clothes and threaten bandits.
*jumps up and down and squees like a twelve-year-old at an NSYNC concert*
Ahem. Yes, please.
