The animated web series DEXTER Early Cuts is a sort of prequel to the Showtime series Dexter.
Though you don't have to watch the Dexter "Early Cuts" webisodes to enjoy Dexter on Showtime, watching them will enhance your understanding of how Dexter came to be the serial killer we know and love, while convincing you how perfectly suited to a comic book series Dexter is.
I've read many comic books and I truly appreciate the quality of the renderings in this series which I watched all in one sitting. You can do the same by scrolling down this page where you'll find Episodes 1 through 6. Enjoy!

About the series:
Dexter Morgan is challenged by a copy-cat killer who does not follow any sort of code. The story opens immediately after his father Harry's death, with Dexter in his early twenties and his sister Debra still in high school. Dexter is enrolled in medical school where he's studying anatomy to improve his "craft." During a routine kill, Dexter realizes that another student has been spying on him and knows that he is a serial killer. He confronts the student after he begins to commit murders in Dexter's style and the two clash over the ethics of their situations. Dexter's faceoff with his 'Dark Echo' represents the first time his code is tested since his father's death, and the incident helps reinforce the importance of Harry Morgan's code.
DEXTER Early Cuts is illustrated by Emmy Award nominee Bill Sienkiewicz (“Batman,” “Superman” and “X-Men” comics) and acclaimed comic book illustrator David Mack (Marvel Comics’ “Daredevil” and “Kabuki) and voiced by DEXTER star and executive producer Michael C. Hall. The episodes will also be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND.
