Joss Whedon’s ‘Dollhouse’ Is Back . . . As a Comic From Dark Horse

We were all sad when Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse was canceled by Fox. Sure, the series had some problems and kinda got lost mid season one, but it came back strong and finished in true Whedon fashion.

Obviously, some mysteries still remained after the series ended. One of the biggest was what happened between the episodes “Epitaph One” and “Epitaph Two.” Fortunately, the folks at Dark Horse have us covered and are releasing a brand new comic called Epitaphs that will bridge the gap and tell that previously unknown story.

Here’s the official synopsis from Dark Horse:

Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, joined by longtime Buffy the Vampire Slayer artist Cliff Richards, take us on an intricate trip through the precise moment when the Active technology went global, and how the protagonists from Epitaph One and Two narrowly avoided death, and worse.Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen wrote the Epitaph episodes of Dollhouse Seasons One and Two, and currently write for the Starz series Spartacus. This is their first work in comics. Artist Cliff Richards has drawn more Joss Whedon-related comics than any other artist, including issues of Buffy Season Eight.

The limited edition Dollhouse comic will come with the season 2 DVD and Blu-ray of the show, set for release on October 12th. It was written by Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen who will also be attending this week’s Comic-Con in San Diego for a signing at the Dark Horse booth.

If you’re attending Comic-Con, you can pick up your copy of season two packaged with this limited edition comic starting on Wednesday during Preview Night and running through Sunday. Or, just go out and buy the box set when you can. Check out the full cover for the comic after the break.
