Well having no knowledge of comics I ordered mine online. The company had a minimum order of £5 so I ordered all 3 comics together. The short-straw is that they are all going to be shipped together. Which means all 3 issues will arrive together in September.

Which means I have a couple of months on my own in the corner weeping.

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'm confused...

If you called the Great Escape, then the Serenity comics I bought were the last ones they had. In my defense, I bought them at 11 am, so it looks like they didn't order enough to me. If GE isn't the comic shop, then...ummm...never mind.

I'm going to second the "not bad, but underwhelming," comment. I think it was done as well as could be but I think comics adaptations of movies and TV are very hard to pull off. They almost always seem a little pale in comparison.

It was well done, though. I'll stick around for more.

I preordered all three covers at my local shop. They called me today and said they're in, boarded and bagged and waiting for me.

Had a nice conversation with the girl on the phone. She didn't realize the comics were coming out and grabbed a copy for herself. Said she cried when Firefly was cancelled and that she'd heard that some big studio was making a movie.

Then I dropped the bomb on her that I'd seen it twice already ... she told me she hated me and then laughed. I told her that the movie gorram rocks and she's not going to be disappointed come Sept 30.

I hope she's working when I go in to get them tomorrow afternoon.

I've never seen, read, or bought a comic before... could someone tell me where I could get just one, online, or.. would barnes & noble have it or something?

Well I'm on vacation so I went to my local comic shop and picked up my order. I've got myself all three covers and one for my friend. I thought it was a good intro to comic form. Did Shepard know he was helping... helping? We're off to a good start.

I don't think so, hence the patented Book Look on page 18 panel 4.
And that is not a spoiler, he gives Mal that look in nearly every episode.

In response to you, Whitefall, I don't think Borders will be carrying Serenity, but I have no garuntee. You can buy it off darkhorse.com or try to scope out a local comic book shop. I got mine today, same day they arrived at the store. Some of the artwork is awesome, but my girlfriend and I both agree that Mal is not resembling our Captain Tightpants from the screen very well at all.

Overall it was good. Not OMFG like the show or what I expect the movie to be, but I definately enjoyed it. Wish they'd put the mandarin in english characters so we could find translations for it. Now I have to find someone that reads conji. Heh heh heh. All in all not too bad. I'll be grabbing #2 as soon as it hits the store.
