The covers look awesome. And John Cassaday drew the Mal cover. Shiny. Okay, now I'm totally tempted to buy all three covers if I can find them.

Actually, 3 issues x 3 covers/issue equals 9. Not counting Serenity, which they bloody well should, there are nine crew members.

And I shall have to buy nine comics. *adds to list before Sin City, and beside the Rogue PSR*

Here's where, sadly, guerrilla marketing (or, in this case, gorilla marketing) comes in conflict with supporting one's local merchant. I would suggest either dropping in & buying it from a local comic store or pre-ordering it from a bookstore for whom comix are a minor component. What we get out of pre-ordering from a mainstream bookstore is expanding their awareness of the market for Serenity (maybe even Firefly) related items. And it's more than just the order, 'cause of course you have to do it with a live bookstore employee, explaining that the comix you want come with multiple covers for the same title, and you want all the different covers.

I just did some computer backgrounds, two for each character, but they can certainly also be used for posters. Let me know what you think.

I noticed four images from you, Sniper, when I logged on. Gonna check 'em out now, and will comment in the Blue Sun room.

Would be a good way to let them know there'll be demand!

When I look through their preorders from Dark Horse they have Serenity #1 (of 3) listed 3 times. Are these for the three different covers? Or if I order one of each will I possibly get the same one with the same cover 3 times? Anybody know?

I asked at this site http://www.tfaw.com

The three different entries for Serenity #1 (of 3) on their site for preorders are all the different covers. So if you just preorder one of each you'll be getting all 3 covers. Of course we should all be ordering 4 actually. 1 of each of the covers to keep in mint condition and 1 extra to open and read.

Three copies? Four copies? Six I says! I'm buying six!

No, really, I'm buying just the one. I've never payed $9 for one comic book, so I'll opt for just the $3 version. I mean, give me a break. I love Firefly and all, but that kind of marketing is taking advantage of us too much.

Er, but maybe I'll start a collection.... nine bucks ain't all that much. Grrr.

I must. Get. Another. Job.

Also, I'm confused on whether these comics will be spoilerish. Hmmmm. I sense a crisis coming on - brought about by my conflicting desires of supporting any and all commercial Firefly related ventures and staying away from all spoilers. I guess, worst case scenario, that I don't have to read the comics after I buy them .

Zeek,
Thanks for asking tfaw.com. They now have pictures and descriptions for all three covers up, and I have to assume it's because you inquired. Yay!
