I should mention that I just got all three of the Serenity comic books (the Inara, Kaylee, and Simon covers – each comic has three different character covers done by different artists). Three comics doesn’t make a very long story, but it fills in the gap between the Firefly series and the soon to come Serenity movie, contains two charactes I was disappointed to hear weren’t going to be in the movie (and I now know why), has a character you’d thought was dead, and a surprise announcement at the end. Plus, its got some great art work (not that I have a lot of comics to compare to) and the sort of dialogue you’d expect from Firefly. I had to spend a lot to find a copy of issue one, and I assume the others are now as scarce, but, I’m pretty sure there will be a reprinting and I recommend picking them up if you’re a browncoat.
If people want, I could put up some scans later.
I called my local comic book shop as soon as I found out about the comics, and they saved copies of all 3 issues for me. I think my issue 1 cover is Mal, and issue 3 is River. Can’t remember who’s on 2; might be Kaylee. I’m not a comic book person but I made an exception for these. Can’t wait for the movie! 🙂
Who would want to see scans of this stupid comic? None of the characters can talk to fish, breathe underwater, or even have minor superpowers.
And it’s from Dark Horse comics – which suck. Stick to DC.
Aquaman,
It’s not like you’ve been putting up scans of your comics lately. What happened to that?
Frank Gay,
I’ll get to it when I get to it. You’re not the boss of me! I rule the seas!
Having heard good things, I rented the first disc of Firefly. Later that evening, I went to Best Buy and bought the entire season. Around 5am the next morning, I finished watching the entire season.
What an awesome show.
So yes, but up scans, plz.
Who is not going to be in the movie?!
Scans would be cool, I was disappointed when Fox canceled the series and can’t wait for the movie.
Scan the bloody comic!
I’ll trade my Spiderman for your firefly series I
Blast you for managing to get an Issue #1!!! (I have #2 & #3, but found out about them too late for issue #1.)
However, I can taunt you by saying that I’ve already seen the movie. Naa-na-na-naa-naaaa! (Yes, it’s as good as you’re hoping it might be…but I’ll not spoil it for ya!)
And tell that gorram hump Aquaman to keep his ruttin’ comments to himself.

I haven’t read issue #3 yet so I don’t know who’s not in the movie… but the movie website (serenitymovie.com) lists the entire cast of regulars from the TV show, so it must be a secondary character… Saffron maybe?
Also… you can get issue #1 at Dark Horse Comics on the web, at http://www.darkhorse.com/search/search.php?frompage=userinput&sstring=Serenity&x=14&y=16. If you can’t get in with that link, just go to darkhorse.com and either search or browse.
Just a nice public service announcement from Her Crankiness. 🙂
I want. I’m a people.
please, please, please post the scans!
I’m assuming the two BlueSun agent guys (I think thats who they are?) are not in the movie.
IMAudiO RULES! but have you heard the Firefly Podcast? It’s pretty cool and they have interviewed various cast memebers.
I hope you have all seen this bit of “viral” marketing.

CrankyBeach,
Just so’s ya know, Dark Horse doesn’t sell comics directly, but they farm out to Things From Another World or help you find a local dealer. And TFAW (from whom I bought #2 & #3) has been all out of #1 for quite some time. And my local guy is out, too. For now, it’s ebay or wait for the reprint, as far as I can tell.
tbstl,
Thanks for the links!
I don’t know if it would be asking too much but for the Browncoat cause, some links and such stickied at the top of the main page would be real shiny!
I ordered all 9 covers from Things from another World. http://www.tfaw.com They only charge 2.99 for each cover then shipping and handling for 2nd day mailing ups was $8.50. I also had them bag and board for 25 cents extra.
I did that because every time I went to the comic book store in my crappy town they were out because the kept under-ordering.
Actually, the s&h was just for the last 3 covers. I was using regular mail, but it got too frustrating waiting from 7 to 14 days to get the stupid things.
Thought I’d drop my favorite fan site here too…..I’m Uriah on this board.
See ya there.
