Odiferous one,
Did you call our sister? It's her anniversary. Only it's probably too late to call her now. And how doth one put one's quote in italics?

He looked bigger when I couldn't see him.

What would be really cool is if there was a CD that came with the comic's with our BDH's speaking their parts and of course other actors for the other rolls. Now that would be cool, expensive, but cool.

The only comics I ever collected were the three issues of Dave Stevens' "The Rocketeer".
Put 'em in the nice plastic covers & everything!
The third issue is even autographed in silver & numbered!

Then, the movie tanked, and now the going price for the books is barely more than the cover price.

Call me paranoid, but I'm kinda scared of jinxing Serenity by buying the comics on the first day of issue!
Of course, if I wait until after the BDM's successful, the issue I buy won't have quite the same worth, will it?

Quite the conundrum.

I wouldn't wait around...there's enough Browncoat interest that the books may still be worth something if Serenity tanks...which I doubt, sincerely. That's not just the huge fan in me talking either...

It will have the same worth. Cause the worth of a comic is in the quality of it's art and words, not it's $monetary$ value. ;)

Here's a direct link to publisher Dark Horse's site to pre-order. And they ship internationally, so all you Browncoats in the UK and elsewhere don't miss out:

Page down a bit and click on a cover to order.

You think Inara's chest has been enhanced?

Look at the Kaylee cover for Serenity #2:
Holy Extreme Makeover Firefly Edition, Batman!

Someone should commission a study of whether premature weaning of breastfed male infants is
strongly correlated with boys who grow up to be
comic book artists.

As someone who used to be REALLY buxom, I want
to testify that -- in real life -- big boobs
are not an asset during hand-to-hand combat.
Hell, they get in the way in many physical
activites, from martial arts to golfing.

But you'd never know that from studying comic books.

Sigh.

Although in this case, the Kaylee cover would not provide any relevant data, as the artist, Jo Chen, is in fact female.
