I'm supposed to be getting a call from the comic store I pre-orded at when they come in, but I haven't heard from them yet. It's making me a little nervous. Anybody else get their copies yet?

I got my hands on issue #1 and although it was nice to see the BDH in action again, i was a tad underwhelmed by it.

oh well heres to issue 2.

Well,
I just got in with my three copies, and read the first issue. As has been said, good to see the BDHs again, though the art is lacking at times.

first, the comic only..

Select to view spoiler:


mostly a heist gone wrong, but a good "act I" with only 3 issues, I expect the 3 together to come off like an episode. Special appearance in the book by 2X2 HOB. looks like the BDHs have been tracked to Whitefall.



The following relates to the movie as well, so maybe if you don't want to be spoiled for that, you can not look.

Select to view spoiler:


Questions were raised about some attitude changes in crew,in the movie, specifically Jayne being more angry and confrontational with Mal. Also who isn't on board at the start of the film, it looks like this will fill in those gaps.

I got it, review on my site, but in short, a bit disappointed. Didn't have the same spark as the series. Still getting the rest though.

If that was the The Great Escape on Broadway. Sorry about that. My bad. And you don't see me online, because I never have anything to say.

I wish I could read it today. I just went to TFAW, where I preordered this month's set and it now says as the ship date, July 20th. Ain't I just a happy Browncoat?

I picked it up today at my local comic shop. I was excited to get it I read it in my car in the parking lot. Was generally pleased with it. I know it's only the set-up ish, and it works very well.

Was surprised that the first frame of Simon was from the POV of a camera. For a brief second, I was thinking, "Did they read my fanfic?" Never thought of Kaylee as a shutterbug. But it works perfectly.

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?
