Amazon.com has some copies, but they all run for $5.95 (plus $3.99 S/H). It would probably be best to ask local comic book stores (or even larger book stores like Borders) to special order it.

Well TFAW has it at $2.69 plus shipping http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/4.-Serenity-Better-Days-1___312160
Probably still best to check locally because of the shipping charge but this beats amazon at least.

And my local store should have held one for me but they either didn't get any or their delivery was delayed or something.

I want my comic!

I picked up a copy yesterday as well three extra copies for signing purposes.

Maybe I am just suffering from 'verse withdrawls due to it being so long since the last comic series, but this first issue was really good. The art was better than the first mini and the dialog seemed to be a bit more true to the characters. The colors and inking were excellent as well.

While reading it I could actually hear the BDHs voices. It was almost like coming home again.

Joss PLEASE make Serenity a monthly comic just like Buffy and Angel!!!

over a year ago Joss had said he hadn't been able to think of doing comics because he couldn't give up the hope of getting the actors play the characters on screen (either big or little)...
so I can't help but worry that the comics starting to come out (particularly the Book series) are a sign that Joss is giving up hope of a Serenity movie sequel....

But OTOH this is an AMAZING comic, beautifully done in every respect, and happy (usually comics have to be so dire...but here in this first issue our BDHs are ahead! They are flush! Yoo Hoo!)!

Of course things will get worse....
they always do! LOL

Amen to that, my brother!

YES!!! Got mine yesterday and last night... went back into the black!!!

Select to view spoiler:

Yes.. when I turned to the page that had Mal and Inara in a full page erotic embrace.. my jaw about fell through to china. NO WAY!!!

I think I lingerd on that page for an hour in utter disbelief, AND enjoying the sight!

However to see that it was her fantasizing about Mal while with another client made perfect sense to me, she is "slipping" by the way.

Reference to Kaylee's quote from the pilot. This confirms my opinion that she has been slipping because of her feelings for Mal. Hard to be a companion if more and more her thoughts are of Mal.

However.. what I am very disappointed about is not being able to see this scene in real life!! Damn Fox!!!

So happy...
Got my issue from the local comic book store...it was a Whedon paradise in there.

Select to view spoiler:

I was so flippin about the Mal/Inara scene and then I was like...wait this ain't right..oh...let down. My favorite line was the hero of Canton reference though. Thought it was funny as well.

When there are no heroes where will we turn?

So for starters, I love this one so much more than TLB already, the story feels stronger for some reason, like it's an actually episode instead of a comic inspired by a show. The beginning was particularly thrilling, I could totally see that being shot. As for the drawing, I think it's actually improved, there were some cells of Mal, Jayne, Kaylee and Wash I really enjoyed.

Select to view spoiler:

And yes, the Mal and Inara thing was awesome. A little shocking when I vaguely flipped through the pages and low and behold, the center of the binding opens to THAT (complete WTF moment), though I love how in reality that was how she was getting through servicing that client

Over all, there was hardly any River, but I still love it, plus....

Select to view spoiler:

the Hero Of Canton does exist!

I'm gonna buck the trend here and say I DIDN'T love it. Okay, sure, I liked it. I liked it a LOT, but (just like the first issue of Those Left Behind), it felt a little too... "big budget" for my tastes.

I definitely love the cleverness of the job (or is that jobs?) and I'm looking forward to how the new characters (Ephraim and the Scarred Man) fit in (because I'm pretty sure we ain't see the last of either of 'em...), but I still have to rate it as "Very good" instead of "Great."

Pretty harsh, huh? :)
