Woulda hit shelves on Wednesday (I just got to the shop today).
We've been talking about it for months, but the release date nearly slipped by us. I weep for our kind. I can only assume everyone's distracted by "Still Flying" (I'll be getting my copy of that this weekend).
Also, a MAJOR revelation (though not one that we didn't see coming, exactly).

I picked it up today while I was in the city and just blazed through it.
GREAT READ.
SPOILERS BELOW

Select to view spoiler:
I really liked the crew of friends Patton created, as well as their memories of Wash. They have enough character so that you feel like they exist and could keep going on their own storyline, but they're not in your face with the newness. If they wanted to, Trey and the guys feel like a group the Serenity crew could pair up with from time to time for some caper pulling. I also felt Wash was captured nicely in each memory, it was a sweet tribute.
Alright, huge spoiler now, Zoe comes in at the very end as part of the sendoff of the new ship, and the final panel reveals she's got a little girl Washburn on the way. So he lives on :)
I'm really going to have to read through this a few times to get everything out of it, but that's what I have after my first pass.

I thought it was enjoyable, but it felt a little hollow. Without getting spoiler-y, each of the stories seems to focus more on Wash's piloting ability than his character. I was hoping for maybe a little more insight rather than "Here's some more tricks like the Crazy Ivan."
Definitely an enjoyable read, though, and the tag on the inside cover (Number 7 in a series) makes me hope that there will be more Serenity after The Shepherd's Tale AND that Dark Horse will eventually release a Serenity Omnibus.
I don't have Still Flying in-hand yet (it's on the way from Amazon), so for me, this was the first official piece of post-Serenity fiction ever. On the one hand, it's very cool to see a little bit of life after the movie.
On the other hand, if Joss is spilling the beans on important stuff in comics, that makes me think he's given up hope of a new movie or series. Certainly not surprising, but still a little sad to see it hit home.

Okay, this is crazy. The top ship on page six was actually created by one of our own, Werzbowski. The link is to the physical model created by John Douglass ( www.artships.com). No clue how it made it's way into the comic, but it is the same ship. No question about it.

From the comic: 
Even the little details are exactly the same.

It sure is! He even used the specs, where both the Repose and Reposita are referred to by Wash as "flying bricks."
"with a cheese sandwich strapped to it."
Or similar.
Nice little shout out to you. Guess they do watch the fan stuff. :)

It's more than a shoutout...

Read the comic. Any of the ships on that site look familiar? Maybe...all of them?!?

Well the Granite Gorge is in there too from Death or Glory... pity Artships never made a model of Shadow. ;-)
