Firefly Lives - New Comics in 2008

gambit3 writes "'Serenity: Better Days' will be released as a 3 part comic in early 2008. The series is a step back in time to the early years of the Firefly crew, and the fledgling gang's turbulent attempts to cope with success after they pull off their first successful heist. It features the same creative team as Those Left Behind, with the story by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, art by Will Conrad, and Adam Hughes providing all three covers this time." Ironic, considering today's brand-new poll.

Blah

[cephalien]

I seem to be the minority, but I didn't find this series particularly engaging. In that context, I'm not surprised that they decided to go with a format that certainly costs less than a movie or a series, yet will still bring diehard fans in to buy it.

I'll be sure to pirate my copy to show them how much their choice to save money pisses me off.

Firefly RIP.

I'm pretty anti grammar Nazi ( and anti hyphen, but thats another diatribe), but it does warm my heart when fans say things like "Joss writes good." The Freudian slip of grammar in that statement is unbelievably awesome. I couldn't have said it gooder myself.

Kaylee agrees with Bender

[MojoStan]

I can't be the only shmuck who thought about Bender after watching Kaylee's disagreement with Simon:

1. Simon: Fun? Right. I, uh-- I consider this fun. It's fun being forced to the ass end of the galaxy... to get to live on a piece of luh-suh wreck... and eat molded protein, and be bullied around by our... [Speaking Chinese] of a captain. That's fun.
   Kaylee: Luh-suh?
   Simon: Sorry?
   Kaylee: Serenity ain't luh-suh.
   Simon: No, I.. I didn't mean...
   Kaylee: Yeah, you did. You meant everything you just said.
   Simon: Well, no. Uh, actually I was being ironic... so in-in the strictest sense...
   Kaylee: You were being mean... is what. And if that's what you think of this life... then you can't think much of them that choose it... can you?

2. [After Bender trades his crotchplate to the Robot Devil for a huge airhorn in his nose slot, he blasts Leela's ears out as a joke.]
   Bender: Pretty annoying, huh Leela?
   Leela: (shouting) What? Are you talking? Oh God I'm deaf!
   Bender: Oops. I'm so so sorry Leela. I just wanted to annoy you.
   Leela: (shouting) What? Oh this is horrible. I won't be able to hear Fry's opera. [She starts to cry. The Robot Devil stands at the end of the corridor watching them.] Robot Devil: Ah how delightfully ironic.
   Bender: It's not ironic, it's just mean. Take this! [He blows the airhorn weakly.]
   Robot Devil: Ooh! Out of aerosol? Also ironic!
   Bender: Oh yeah? Well bite my shiny metal - [He points at where his crotchplate used to be. No ass left to bite.] (shouting) Oh nooo!
