I have had my fears that Firefly could never survive on it's fanbase alone as far as future sequels but I'm beginning to get excited that the buzz is actually starting to grow. This thread is for listing the gathering signs of the upcoming Serenity phenomenon. For my part I just tried 7 or 8 Toronto comic shops for a copy of Serenity #2 and everyone was sold out in the first 2 days. Pretty impressive.

I went to the closest comic shop yesterday (Thursday the day after they arrived) and they had four copies of issue #2 left (I grabbed 2), yep good sign I say.

A friend of mine (to whom I'd shown "Serenity Parts I & II") walked up to me at church and announced that he'd bought the DVDs, watched them in a single day, downloaded the movie trailer...well, you get the idea.

I went on the hunt for the comic in Hull in the UK and it was nowhere to be found... that's DEFINITELY saying something!

Both comic book stores nearest to me sold out #1 and #2 on the first day.
I managed to convert at least twelve people to the Firefly fandom in the past year or so, all in the course of a couple of months.

(Adding to the subthread) My comic book store's owner just came back from a trade show in Chicago. He said the Serenity #1 and #2 first prints, ANY cover, were nowhere to be found, and the vendors were asking each other about/for them. It was indicated to him that any first prints that can be found are likely to already be priced with a collector's premium. Yowsa.
If you happen to own one of those puppies, you might want to wash your hands a bit and treat it real gentle-like from here on out.

Do you happen to know how one can determine if he's got a first printing?

I work at a Rite Aid and today we just got both first issues of Serenity. That bodes well because when it comes to books, magazines, and comics we only get the popular stuff so Serenity comics are selling so well to be considered a popular comic book.
I made sure to place the Serenity comics in a prominent place when I did the magazines.
Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.
