A 20 page mini-comic based on Joss Whedon’s cult cancelled TV show Dollhouse will be released next April with a five issue mini-series following soon after.

In an interview with MTV News, Scott Allie, the editor for the mini-comic revealed that it was included in the recently released DVD box-set for Dollhouse season 2.

“You don’t see a lot of detail about how it happens in the show, so this mini-comic we did for the DVD is an original story by them that shows how the technology went public and turned most of the population into these zombies – or what they refer to as ‘butchers’. People’s brains just get shut off and they become hyper-violent, wreaking havoc on each other and everything around them. “All of the comics that we’re doing take place in the ‘Epitaph’ scenario, the post-apocalyptic environment from those episodes,”

I always felt that the Epitaph episodes were far superior than the regular formulaic episodes. I’ll forever believe that Whedon got the balance wrong and should have made more futuristic episodes and used the “current day” ones to show how the future got so messed up.
