Ok. When you say graphic novel, is that the comic book?

It's the manga sized compilation of the three issue comic book, yes.

Wow. Awesome stuff.
It is also good to note that Simon and River were tagged fugitives and their information was being broadcast everywhere from the time of their escape. So they avoided exposure as much as possible...well, until Mal told Simon to take her for a walk in SAFE. Bounty hunters were probably looking for them and though local law enforcement wasnt actively searching, they were encouraged to keep an eye out. Then, like DAVESHAYNE pointed out, the Operative was sent only when all else failed. It makes the Operative MUCH cooler and much more frightening that he is the "cleaner" for Parliament - and that they send him last.

The 'cleaner' analogy is a very good one. Kinda scary, the idea that there's a whole cadre of folk out there, who can do what they like, in order to get the job done.
Seems to be a sort of 'Minority Report' thing, in that the vid-screens all record as well as transmit, and there is retinal identification. It would be a lot harder to hide that you might think - anyplace that has technology is open to being utilised as a spy post.
My opinion is that there is more than one interested party out looking for River now. Not just the people who created her (and that's a whole different discussion.)

The only reason she was at the bar was because... Erm why was she there?
Because Simon had to get off Serenity, because Mal made him, and River followed. And she was wandering around like she's apt to do.

That is why she was off the ship.
(A nitpick - Simon also chose to leave. Mal reinforcing is not really that important IMO. It's like saying "You can't fire me, I quit!")
Why she turned up at the bar was either randomly wandering around as you said, or to pick up her earnings (or for some other reason). More or less what you suggested.

You are absolutely right, and I stand corrected.
Thanks for catching that mistake
