It's not a rumor that there's another comic coming. Dark Horse has said so.

Thank you for all the answers.
So guys. If i start something up here, are you willing to help me? My thought is to receive handwritten signatures by mail (scanner) or fax. It`s the easiest way i think. What do you think?
And i started a board on imdb:
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/board/thread/71772827
By the way, i have plans starting a new home page in keeping with "savefirefly.com". So please, leave suggestions or criticize me if you think i can do something better.

Firefly itself may not come back as a show or what it was, but I do think that if we get a massive handwritten petition going (as MartinT said, faxing, scanning, etc.) for Firefly to start back up as a show, which is an almost complete impossibility at this point, we will have a greater chance for a sequel to the BDM. If we just ask for a lower goal, then we may not gain everything possible out of this. It's like when you haggle at the market and you're the one selling the goods. You have a higher price on your merchandise, they offer a lower one, and you settle somewhere in the middle. Even if we don't get anywhere with any of this stuff, it can't hurt to try. How do we know if it's impossible (which, realistically and unfortunately, getting the show back is damn near close to it) if we've never done one exactly like this before?
And yeah, MartinT, I'm willing to help when/with what I can.

You talking to me or MartinT? I realize that Firefly as it was is almost completely impossible that it will ever have new series episodes (realistically, almost no chance, theoretically, there is the slightest possibility that on some insanely minute off chance something may happen - you've gotta consider everything here), but, to the best of my knowledge, this exact thing hasn't been tried on a large scale. And if we ask for the show back, which we almost certainly won't get, we'd at least have a chance at getting another BDM. You ask for the greatest thing but actually anticipate the one right below it so your hopes won't really be crushed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that another movie isn't an impossible notion.

Doesn't surprise me. You mean the whole thing with faxing/scanning the hand written signatures and letters? I haven't been really involved for long (had the show for a long time, watched it a shit load, but not actually done much until recently), so don't treat me like a retard (not that you are) because I don't know exactly what people have tried. I just hope for another movie. The show too, but that's not a very realistic goal at this point in time. Can't hurt to try again, can it?
...don't answer that question...

I also believe that getting another BDM is more likely (well very more likely) than a return to the series. While we all would love to see a Firefly return, it just wont be the same as when we left, it been to long and for those who say restart it with new characters. That just doesn't feel right to me, I want to see Nathan play Mal with Jewel as Kaylee not start over with new people. That's why i think a sequel should eb what we are going after, to let our Big Damn Heroes tell their story.

Agreed. I don't think I'd be able to watch a show set in the 'verse that wasn't Firefly. It'd feel...kind of like voyeurism, I guess. Intruding where you shouldn't be. And the show without Book and Wash would just be too weird. That's why ask for the show so they satisfy us with another movie instead.
