The comic books...?

I'm in a bit of confusion here. ALL morning, I've been kicking around the internet in search of where I can order the first issue of the Serenity comic series, hopefully all three covers. And all I'm getting are dead ends, Out of Stocks, or places that are selling them for $13+ each. I know it sold out from the first run in a snap, but I took it that they were sent back to the press? Will it just be some time before it's back to $2.99 a pop, or am I stuck with the hyped up prices?

I'd loooove anyone who is better versed in the comic book 'verse (to tell the truth, this is the first comic I've ever had the urge to buy, aside from Joss's futuristic slayer in Graphic Novel form) to shed some light for me, or maybe point me in the direction of where I can get an issue or two. Thanks in advance. ^_^

Dark Horse's distributer is www.tfaw.com. I know there are also a few fans selling comics at cover price, but I don't remember their website adresses...

TFAW has the Inara cover, it appears, which is the most I've found all day. ^_^ Thanks, though if you happen to find those fan sellers, I'd love to see those.

For some reason the words "Diamond the size of a testicle" come to mind. The comics, like the prescreenings, sell out faster than Jayne in a hospital. Hopefully they'll reprint around the time the movie is released. There is certain to be even more demand around then so they'd be crazy not to.

I nearly missed out on the first issue before eventually finding a copy at comix-shop.co.uk. I ordered the second one the same day it arrived but their suppliers had sent them fewer kaylee covers than they had ordered! Comix-shop were very good about it and asked me if I wanted another cover or to wait a week and hope for more kaylee covers to be delivered. I decided to wait but asked for them to reserve another cover just incase the kaylee ones never came. Fortunately more came and I should recieve it shortly.

Good luck finding them!

I've been pimping this comic book site all week:
http://www.midtowncomics.com/
it is a huge store in NYC and they have BOTH Serenity #1 AND #2 in stock
(you may have to phone their 800 for the latter)

publisher: Dark Horse
Serenity #1 released July 13
Serenity #2 released Aug 3

I don't recommend TFAW, they are VERY slow and not easy to deal with...they'll leave you waiting weeks for the reprint of #1 when you could have it shipped now from the original printing if you go through Midtown Comics

Whoa! And they're even at cover price!
