The cargo bay is detachable. Zoic designed it that way. They mentioned it in the Serenity or Firefly extras. They put clamps on the ship. The idea was that Serenity is a truck and should be able to set one cargo bay down and pick up another one.
Notice in Serenity that the cargo bay is blue!!!! Joss even mentions in the Collector's Edition commentary that the cargo bay isn't home yet when Nathan said it felt like home. It's blue. Blue like the Alliance!
My latest theory on how the Reaver ships got blown up.
Wash and Kaylee rigged those blinking beer kegs to explode. In Serenity, they carried false signals in space. Maybe they can fly in atmo too. Fill them with fuel and let them fly!
See the explosion of one of the ships. You can see two beer kegs...or maybe they are ship parts.

Nope haven't missed any.
Book mini-series coming later this year.
Also wonder how many of these online ones we will get.
The onlines will be printed in a graphic novel collection at some point.

Felt a bit rushed. Iwould have prefered a few more panels and a lot more dialogue or at least better flowing. I know dialogue isn't very practical in the situation presented but internal monologues almost always feel awkward to me.
Still, I really liked the overall story and the art. And every new bit added to the verse is welcome from me.
REally looking forward to that Book series.

I'm confused on who the guy is. At first he appears to be an Alliance plant acting like a smuggler, may even be a low level Op (not a great one but an Op of some kind) - on page 2 River says, "Not... what... we... thought" and there's the montage of the guy doing what looks like various kinds of Op like torture, the images she's seeing of his past.
But then he appears to be there not for them and that it's just a coincidence, and he's just figuring out that she and Simon are the "ones that escaped...?" "No more dangerous assignments..."
At the end we get that Mal knew the guy was bad from the start (quite a stretch imho) and put her with him to put her in a position where she'd have to kill him so she'd be bloodied like the others and bound by guilt? That's pretty hardcore bad!
River's comment, "could a been a lot worse" and the image of the crew all dead in Serenity - the guy doesn't have a gun in his hand, a Blue Hands kind of weapon instead? They have veins on their faces looks like the same kind of death. And does this confirm that she can see the future, a possible future? Or just writer's license?

I guess that comes from the title "The Other Half" - we only get half a story. The guy is probably "Generic Alliance Agent(TM) #42".

I suspect is that this was a generic honeypot - a job set up to see who will fall for it, not after anyone in particular.

Mal did not put her there because he "knew" the job was bad, but he suspected it so - she was his ace in the hole.
I liked that instead of apologising for putting her in such a situation, he welcomes her to the crew.

She is seeing what he is imagining - that he will have to kill them. Not a "future" at all.
As for the job, it seems to be transporting that guy from somewhere to somewhere else for some unknown reason, and we do not know why he is injured/ill either. Organ smuggling? jail break? crossing borders (unlikely)?
and what is it with the stagecoach type of transport?

I can't answer most of your questions... but I do know that this is listed as produced by Joss, so it is canon...
my understanding is that Joss is bursting full of story lines regarding Firefly/Serenity, so he is slowly leaking some of them out... I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that he'll be able to film some shorts online w/the actors playing their own characters....
but it is only a hope.
edited to add: Oh I see that Anonymous1 already noted the 'exec producer credit'...

Yeah, I had somehow missed that on my first (few) readthrough(s).

Okaaay... I get the canon, and the set up, and the River usefulness, and even the explosion. Now, can someone explain the freakin Stagecoach?

Quote:Well, you gotta take into consideration that the crew needed the job, and he was suspicious of the it because they gave him half up front unlike everyone else they've worked for. That's why he put River in with Simon. He knew that if his suspicions were correct, then she's going to take care of it. Though, I don't know if they were expecting the Reavers.

Plus, I don't think that River's hands were quite so innocent and unbloodied before she escaped the academy. Look at how she saved Kaylee in "War Stories" without a flinch.

Definately not expecting the Reavers. And I don't really think he expected her to "take care" of anything. Remember, at this point in the story the only person who's seen River do anything weapon like is Kaylee and Mal's not the type to depend on what he hasn't seen. He's also never asked any of his crew (much less the damaged 17 year old) to kill anyone on a suspicion. He might do so, but he's never asked it of his crew. I think it's more that, after what she did with Early, he thinks she might have a bit more insight into the situation than the rest of them. If she sees that this man is a threat, maybe she can at least warn them, maybe do more.
