Dark Horse Digital has Serenity/Star Wars issue on their site. https://digital.darkhorse.com/read/2069/

Serenity-It's_Never_Easy(2012).cbr can be downloaded at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

The file has both comics written by Zack Whedon for Free Comic Book Day 2012 :
Serenity: Firefly Class 03-K64—It’s Never Easy
Star Wars—“The Art of the Bad Deal”

You don't need a comic book reader to open Serenity-It's_Never_Easy(2012).cbr
Simply change the suffix from .cbr to .rar ( or .cbz to .zip ) then click and open the folder of scanned comic pages.

If you want a comic book reader for windows, I use www.cdisplayex.com
There is also PC Magazine's 2012 recommendation for best windows freeware comic reader : http://bit.ly/IubAcx

Did you notice that five people and a big cargo load returned on the mule?
If River had gone to town as Mal expected, that's six people.
Remember Mal's four passenger rule?
"Mule won't run with five. I shoulda dumped the girl? Or you? Or Jayne? Or tossed the payload?"

Does that mean Mal's mule rule was arbitrary? (yes)

The comic's full title is Serenity: Firefly Class 03-K64—It’s Never Easy, which is perfect . . . for a technical manual.

Like much "canon" in the 'verse, very sloppy.
Anyone remember the timeline in "The Shepherd's Tale"?

Dead Wash, pregnant Zoe, no real story; the 'verse has pretty much flatlined for me.
Darn shame....

A real story would have the thief flying away with Serenity. Mal watches it soar into the sky, swearing in Chinese. The crew that went to town return to find no home. Then everyone is either joyous or apprehensive to see Serenity coming back. When it lands, River rides out on the thief's horse. Asked about the thief, she says, "Dropped him off where he was going." Final page: a cemetery with a new crater. The thief's fancy bright yellow boots are showing at the bottom. The End.

I think the real point of the story *is* pregnant Zoe. I remember after Serenity hit the silver screen everyone was hoping that she was with [Wash's] child. Coming from two Whedons as this does, safe to say that's what happened and it's official cannon. Plus, now River has a pony, and Jayne got to Ha-Ha! Mal. What's not to love?

The mule was running with Mr. Reaver-Chow hanging from it, it just wasn't running fast. Hauling a heavy payload and a full crew is one thing. Hauling a heavy payload and a full crew while being chased by Reavers is another.

(It's equally possible that they had Kaylee amp up the mule just in case that scenario ever happened again.)

Good question why they had to bring everyone into town, though. Maybe it was a Renji mission. (In Bleach, Renji once needed to put a small team together. Renji selected Ikaku, who suggested bringing his buddy Yumichika. Then Lt. Rangiku found out about it and insisted on coming along [to get access to shopping]. Ikaku and Yumichika don't want to work with Rangiku, so Renji had to bring Capt. Hitsugaya along because he outranks Rangiku. Cue another character wondering if this was a mission or a road-trip.)

Maybe Zoe just wanted to bring Jayne (for muscle) and Inara (for diplomacy). Then Inara suggested bringing a medic, then Kaylee wanted to go because Simon was there. . .

Oh yeah it was great! It made the time frame between Book and Inara deciding to leave and them actually leaving, and the time frame after they leave to the events of the movie a lot longer! That means Book and Wash can live longer and have MOAR ADVENTURES~!

Plus we can pretend like the specific quotes from the movie that give exact years for everything were actually kind of approximate so it works out.

I'm not sure how anyone thought it could really be any different? I mean where exactly could the characterization go? Too happy to live. I mean watching the pilot everyone thought Kaylee was going to die for the same reason.

Really it seems to me like making Zoe pregnant was the happiest possible outcome Joss could manage, which is one of the reasons I thought Zoe wouldn't be pregnant because Joss lives to troll us and gives us the sads. So this is actually a better outcome for her than I could have expected.

Except now he might kill her AND the baby.

So okay! Topics of discussion!

1) Is the last conversation Zoe has with Mal foreshadowing anything?

2) Why didn't Mal use his quick shot ability? Has he been injured or tired or just not able to draw as fast after Miranda?

3) Zoe needs a baby shower.

1. No, at least I do not think so.

2. Poor decision not to try on his part, or poor writing on Zach's part. I think it was just not thought of because the whole point was to make River the hero...and give Jayne a cheap laugh at Mal's expense.

3. Aunt Kaylee and Aunt Inara!

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.
