It's got all my favorite faces on the cover and presumable will have all of the episodes inside!

What's not to like??????

One thing to note, the Serenity in the picture is wrong.

That's the original Serenity from the un-aired pilot or better known as "the boxy" Serenity. The stream line Serenity is the primary one used in the series, except in a few stock footage scenes. So that might bring merit to the fake cover.

It doesn't matter though, I'm still buying the DVD's. I almost hesitate to send money to FOX though.

The image of Serenity on the cover is identical to the one used in the Firefly Wallpaper released on the Fox site, and I mean identical. The angle of the ship, lighting, coloration and shadowing are dead on, as if the image was lifted from the wallpaper. If this really is genuine, than fox deserves another 'gorram fox' for their cheapness. Any takers?

Oh, my God! Who's flying this thing? Oh, right, that would be me...

You can see a "life sized" pic of the box art here:

I actually like it--love the sepia tone. And I don't mind the fact that it's three publicity stills we've seen before, tho personally? I would have used this pic:

(pic is HUGE, so just cut and paste and take the spaces out around the jpg)

instead of this one:

But only 'cause I think Nathan looks yummier in the other shot.

So, does everyone agree that this is real and not a fake? My first thought was "this can't be real" but I guess it is.

Oh surreal--I hadn't noticed it until now, but the box art? They Photoshop'd Jewel (who is smiling in the original photo). How odd.

ETA: and they photoshop'd Adam too, tho that oen makes more sense to me, since he was slightly out of focus in the original shot. And from the lack-of-bread, it looks like they used a "Train Job" still...

I was just unhappy to see:

"The complete series"

Makes it seem so final. :(

* sigh *

While I am thrilled that Firefly is being released on DVD, the cover "art" leaves a lot to be desired.

Mainly because I desired something that ROCKED.

Could be wishful thinking on my part but, is there any possibility that this cover design is false, and that Mutant Enemy wants to surprise the heck out of us with the REAL, and awesome, cover on December 9th?

Oh please, oh please Joss... be THAT devious...

As for us Australians that have had to download the series by whatever means we could, normally IRC and wait in que for 2 days for the gorram thing to even start only to have it drop out halfway through...but it was worth it for a GREAT!! series.
I'm greatfull it's comming out in DVD format at all despite the cover which I think is ok( the point of this thread)and despite I now have to go and buy a new DVD player that does multi-region cd's it's worth it to see this great EMMY award winning show the way it was meant to be seen!
Also keep in mind the cover has to be appealing to those people that haven't seen Firefly or don't study every frame in the show and may not know how great it really is.
