In the feburary 2007 issue of Wizard magazine Joss makes mention of Firefly. In an article talking about how Buffy will continue in comics there is a break-off article in the corner concerning Firefly. Here it is word word:

"In addition to revisiting Buffy, Joss Whedon also takes to the skies in late 2007 with Serenity: Better Days, a three issue Dark Horse miniseries following the hard-luck space-mercenary that starred in the "Firefly" TV series and the "Serenity" film.
Whedon retemas with writer Brett Matthews, who cowrote 2005's Serenity: Those Left Behind miniseries, to see what happens when a heist goes right and the crew finds themselves: on easy street.
"This new story will take place in the 'Firefly' years i.e., everyone's alive," teases Whedon. "Basically, they pull off a heist and everything doesn't go completly wrong. This, needless to say, has never happened, and it's about how they deal with sucess."
Those Left Behind boasted variant covers by big-name artists like John Cassaday and Joe Quesada; for Better Days, Whedon tapped Adam Hughes to create a triptych cover that'll create a giant image when the story finishes.
"It's being drawn like a photo of the enitre crew posing together for a picture because they're in a good mood and sitting on piles of money," gushes Whedon. "Adam is so great! I'm not hating life."

Well there you have out...new Firefly in 2007!

Yeah, it sounds like a good comic. Maybe filling in a bit more post-series pre-movie detail? I'd like to see that.

Sounds like an interesting story idea too. Why do I imagine having everything go exactly as planned will turn out sooo much worse than the normal sucky status quo?

Um... don't they mean hard luck mercenarys?

Very Cool!

I saw the magazine in the store today but didn't buy it yet. Thanks so much for sharing.

I will be happy with some more comics.

I also saw that Sci-Fi is making another BSG movie which will go straight to DVD.

Very coo1!

VERY SHINY NEWS!! On several levels.. first to have the thing itself.. some 'verse in the coming year... but.. the fact that Joss and the Crew are still so deeply involved.. well that is great news.. and we can take heart that they will do a movie or a tv or whatever whenever they can, because they love it as much as we...

Good to see something is happening. The last comic series was alright and as long as the 'verse is alive in some form there is still a chance of it coming back in others.

Wow, something actually goes right for the BDHs? Show me uncharted territory....'course, it probably boils down to Uncle Joss tossing us a very big, very yummy bone and having Kaylee get kidnapped by Niska later on.

Apparently, this series is all about Jayne.

This is great news!

One request though? Could you put Joss' description of what goes on in spoiler quotes? I don't mind a bit, but I know some folks here that would. They'd rather the storyline be a complete surprise. Thanks!
