The new year brings more "Serenity"When the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 comic turned out to be so true to the television series — and so much fun — many Joss Whedon fans dared to hope that more of his canceled shows would continue in graphic form. Angel fans got their wish in November (with mixed reviews) and now comes confirmation that a new Serenity comic will be published in March 2008.
Serenity: Better Days is a three-issue series set between the end of Firefly and the 2005 Serenity feature film — the same setting as Serenity: Those Left Behind, which was published in 2005.
The hardcover version of the first series was released in November as a collectors' edition, with a new cover by Adam Hughes. The oversized collection includes pinups from a variety of guest artists and behind-the-scenes original material developed especially for this edition. So, take note if you have a Firefly fan on your gift list. (If you are the Firefly fan on your list, feel free to print out this post, highlight this paragraph and send it to Santa.)
Better Days takes a look at the early years of the Firefly crew and how the gang deals with newfound wealth after they pull off their first successful heist. The creative team from Those Left Behind returns, with Brett Matthews as Whedon's co-writer, Will Conrad as artist and Hughes as cover artist.
In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Whedon explains why the graphic version of Firefly/Serenity is more of a challenge than Buffy.
Whedon also said he is very possessive of Serenity.
That's good news for fans, because it means that even though we might have to wait awhile in between Serenity stories, the ones we do get will be Whedon's. And that's always worth waiting for. Is a new Serenity comic series good news for you? What other Whedon stories would you like to see in graphic form? Submitted by on December 10, 2007 - 9:00am. |

Great News!
Firefly = Love
I am a huge Firefly/Serenity fan... I mean, the show was much better than the movie but my beaf with the movie is more the character deaths and the fact that the River storyline changed a little too much from the show's Pilot.
Anyway... I'm really excited about this. I haven't read "Those Left Behind" but mostly b/c I can't find the non-hardback version (and I'm poor lol). I'm glad this takes place before Serenity because it would just be such a sad thing to not have all the characters together.
I just think that Joss should continue to do anything and everything that comes from his head... I'll follow that man into Hell lmao I'm looking forward to "Dollhouse" so this strike better get resolved soon! haha

IS ALIEN RESERECTION JOSS?
I am so hyped about all these Joss projects finaly comeing to light. when he is behind the weel of a show it usualy get's steared in the right direction and I look forward to some fabulous strong femail charecters comeing to us in both tv with "the doll house" and in comic book form. One thing that I always wanted to see more of was the mithology that joss created with the final alien movie, "Alien resuerection". the whol riply being half alien half human intrested me more than any other ailien movies did and Ripley and Call had such amazing chemestry that it is a shame that all the comics curently releced for that world are based after Alien 3.
so yes bery exsited about all the joss stuff and I wish that a comic was made following the life of Ripley clone 8 and Call. the story was so firefly that it could practicly be set in the same universe, you can definatly see the joss touch on that film...eg giving the male charecters femail names, giving the ship a more coloquial name and just the over all desighn and feel of the film.
ok well thanks fot the update afterEllen...I wouldent be able to live without this site.
Much Love

SO MUCH HAPPY COMING FROM
