Wow. I am so excited. Getting the comic was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning and finally I got it. I love the story and I love hearing the character's voices in my head. I love going back to the verse. I genuinely hope they keep continuing the story in comic form because at least we'll be getting SOME new material. I just had a general quesiton for those who have read it: Does anyone know the translation of the Chinese? And with that I'll throw it to the rest of you: What did you think?

Oh, it is so shiny, isn't it?!

I know at one point, Wash calls Kaylee xiao mei-mei (little sister). Most of us won't know until this site, http://fireflychinese.kevinsullivansite.net/index.html, translates everything else.

I am THRILLED to see my BDHs, and they look so pretty (the drawings are great)...
and the story is wonderful & exciting!

Select to view spoiler:



I'm loving that 'the hero of Canton' is real! LOL

And I love that Inara fantasizes about Mal while w/a paying client...LOL)



I could have used a little more River, but I'm guessing we'll see more of her before the end....

And I'm happy to know they are already thinking about the Book spin-off comics!

Oh yeah! When I turned the page, and...

Select to view spoiler:


saw Inara's amorous little fantasy, my eyes nearly popped out of my head!

Then, I began to wonder if this was a little hint of the more innocent activites that the crew were about to embark on whilst on vacation...

Select to view spoiler:


that involves swimwear.

If anyone can't find a copy, and still want one, there are still a few at my local comic shop. I'll be more then happy to mail anyone a copy....

regular bookstores don't usually carry comic books (single issue comics, they do carry graphic novels and other bound copies)

google your zip code + comic book store
and call your local comic book store owners and find out who is carrying it.

My local store ordered a whole bunch of extra copies, I think because he has come to know that the name 'Whedon' on the cover always means a lot of people wanting to buy the book.

as far as ordering online, I've always been happy w/midtowncomics.com
look up Dark Horse release date 3/12/08
they won't charge extra for the comic, and they will get it mailed off to you within the week
