I really liked the Inara/Mal page in Serenity:Better Days #1.

I can hardly wait. I'm gonna have to wait til DragonCon to get it. What else am I missing? I got the first comic book series. Anything else?
Dark Angel comic perhaps?

Just wanted to bump this for later perusal, since I need more time to ponder all the insightful posts. I got the comics last week, and saw many of the problems discussed in this thread. Bad plot, or twists not fully explained? Hard call!
Good discussion here though, thanks!

Joss Whedon. Twists not fully explained. He has to have in his head the idea that he could actually make this episode one day.

Quote:Yeah, that's my feeling. I don't agree with GWEK that Mal's guilt is a given. Joss wants us to believe that Mal gave up that money, sure. But Joss wanted us to believe that Cordy would sleep with Connor. That one didn't feel right, this one doesn't either. When Joss writes someone out of character, there's generally a reason.

Cause Mal throwing away that money for touchy feely lovey reasons? Nope. Doesn't work for me. Not only because I don't think he's that sentimental, but also because it's just a stupid thing to do. Sure, Mal's sentimental and stupid, but not that kind of sentimental and that kind of stupid.
If Mal is sentimental, it's in a hidden, unselfish way, kind of along the lines of doing what's necessary to keep his crew alive and as safe as possible. Money is safety for them. Money is a ship that doesn't break down in the middle of nowhere. Money means not taking jobs from guys like Badger and Niska. Money also means independence from the Alliance. Would Mal really throw all that away just because he's worried about being lonely? It just doesn't sit right.
Sure, I could be wrong. I've tried guessing other options, but everything I can imagine has problems, so who knows. Maybe Joss meant it exactly as it seems. If so,
And
again at Inara thinking it was "sweet". Um.. .and shockingly, I really did like these comics LOL! It's just that ending...

does anybody know if a trade paperback has been announced?
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

I do find the comic books to be easier to read. For the TPBs Dark Horse reduces the size to match the smaller form of manga.
