I stumbled upon this while browsing the library's comic catalogue. It's been some years since I've seen the TV series and it was fun re-entering the world of Alpha and Ivy and Echo. Apparently this comic is takes place after the series and before the "Epitaphs" episode. The Active tech is going viral.
Great illustrations. I loved how the characters look just like the actors! Good storyline too. Makes me want a rewatch ( )

This series is very similar indeed to the Serenity comics, in that they attempt to fill in gaps left by the premature curtailment of the stories told during both series' TV runs. I re-watched Season 2 of Dollhouse in preparation for reading this and that re-familiarisation was probably necessary as I'd forgotten a lot of details from Epitaph 2 (the final episode) that this fairly short comic run attempted to explain. (My memory was hung up on the Magic Bomb plot device that still annoys me - even good writers can fail, especially when they know they don't have the proper amount of time to tell their stories.)

I was delighted to see more of Mag and Zone, who were the real stars of the first Epitaph episode and disappointed not to see Topher, who was the stand-out character of the show as a whole. The stories themselves really serve to further illustrate what we have missed out on: Dollhouse would have been great if it had 5 years or so to tell its story properly. As it is, it remains a relatively obscure Whedon effort that was too challenging for Fox or for the viewers who stayed away in hordes.

I loved watching the Dollhouse series (via a Netflix binge), but I felt unsatisfied with the two episodes set in the apocalyptic future (series finales "Epitaph One" and "Epitaph Two: Return") because of a lack of details or transition. Fortunately, "Dollhouse: Epitaphs", the graphic miniseries, fills in some gaps left in the TV series, i.e. how the wireless imprinting made everyone go crazy and murder-y, how Mag, Zone, and Griff banded together, what Alpha was up to while he was away. Overall, I enjoyed the read and felt like I got some closure (listen to me, such an Entitled Consumer). ( )
