Wolverine comic con trailer, get it while it's there. Cameraphone footage, but considering that it's not bad quality. Also I like the cheering - it's cute how the crowd goes wild for bits of the dialogue, and for Gambit.

Doctor Horrible is back on the free interwebs. Legitimately, but with adverts. Which is awesome. And I shall be over here enjoying the hell out of it with my fingers in my ears. So ner.
