Joss Whedon creator and head writer of the well-known television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly is about to exact his writer's strike revenge on traditional media with the release of a 3-part streaming Web opera. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will be released for free on July 15, July 17 and July 19. Then, all three parts will vanish at midnight on July 20, only to reappear as a 42-minute feature for sale as a download and eventually published on DVD.Whedon explains his theory, "The idea was to make it on the fly, on the cheap – but to make it. To turn out a really thrilling, professionalish piece of entertainment specifically for the Internet. To show how much could be done with very little. To show the world there is another way."
