They do look rather impressive! Erm, you're gonna have to forgive my ignorance here but having never bought a comic before, I don't actually know where I can get these. There are no science-fiction specialist shops near-by so I'm assuming that my only real option is the Internet - so does anyone know of a place where these comics are available (or will be available)? I live in the UK and have no idea as to who stocks comics on the internet, etc. If someone can recommend a UK site that'll have the comics I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers all!

Forbidden Planet in the UK should have them. If not they usually order them in. Not sure where you live but there is a large Forbidden Planet in London and I suspect they do web orders too... if not, I recommend Amazon.. that's where I found 'Fray' (after looking in Forbidden Planet for 6 months)

There's a double-edged sword involved with four-page previews of a comic, much like a trailer coming out months before a movie. It's great, and I love it, but they make me wait for the rest.

At least the wait for the comics is significantly shorter.

I haven't bought a comic since Storm Shadow betrayed Cobra Commander. But I will have ALL of these.

Check out my shop! Firefly & LOST products.

It's been too long since I've collected, and since I had a local shop, I never had to use it. But, there used to be a webpage for finding your local shop. I think it covered everywhere (non US shops). Don't remember the URL, but a search should turn it up. Yeah Forbidden Planet should stock it if there's one near you.

You should be able to find it on Amazon or Forbidden Planets website. I get the Forbidden Planet catalogue so will probably buy it from them. Alternatively Borders Bookstores sell a large range of comics and graphic novels, so they will probably stock Serenity as well.

Hope this helps.

Hooray! Thanks for your help! I looked 'Forbidden Planet' up on google and found the website and, hooray, they have the first issue up for pre-order. Presumably they'll add the others as their release dates loom.

I also read somewhere that the comics will probably be bundled together in an 'omnibus' which will then be made available? Does anyone know if that's confirmed or is it standard practice? I really have no idea about comics

It's not uncommon - not every comic series or mini gets it, but ones they expect to be able to sell in bookstores or have longer lasting appeal get collected in a TPB (trade paperback). I'd think that Serenity would have at least a decent shot of having a TPB out in time for the movie - whether they print any more printings after that would depend on sales.
