I haven't heard anything about pre-ordering but then again I am not savy when it comes to stuff like that. If anybody knows I am sure they will post it.

Well, I dunno about pre-ordering online, if that's what you're asking, but if there's a comic shop nearby, chances are good they'll reserve you a copy, all you gotta do is ask. There's actually a number you can call to find the nearest comic shop, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Pretty sure Marvel.com has it somewhere on their front page.

Also Dark Horse has a featured online retailer and they have a Joss page. You can preorder Buffy season 8 comics, so you should be able to preorder Serenity: Better Days when it is availble for pre-ordering.

You can see the cover of Buffy Season 8 issue 2.

Love the quote from their page:

JW is My Hero

Joss Whedon's fans are some of the most dedicated fans alive (or dead if you count the vampire fans). He has delighted audiences by creating cult TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Buffy spin-off show Angel. Then came Firefly, a sci-fi western set in outerspace. To the disappointment of fans Firefly was cancelled in its first season, but was then made into the major motion picture Serenity. Joss Whedon has put his writing talents to use in writing comic books, particularly the on-going Astonishing X-Men series. Currently, Whedon fans are anxiously awaiting the 2007 release of the new Wonder Woman movie that Joss Whedon is both writing and directing.

What I like about the prospect of these comics, aside from about 5 minutes of new verse-ness (i'm a complainer about the length, each time i bought a new comic last time, i'd have finished it before i got back home)....

The fact that Whedon specifically did it pre-movie. On the one hand, it means he likes writing wash and book, but on the other, I think that means that anything POST-movie is being reserved for sequel territory. Its not much, but it shows Whedon hasnt totally given up on sequels since he's not just spoilerifically writing the crew's escapades post-movie.

"But, these strong women characters?"

"Why aren't you asking 100 other guys why they don't write strong women characters?" -Joss Whedon.
