Series? SERIOUSLY? Why is it that Joss Whedon has had four TV series and FIREFLY is the only one that DOESN'T get a series?!??!?

Joss Whedon laughs at your pain. Embrace the darkness!
Actually, I suspect more than anything two reasons Firefly hasn't been serialized in comic book form. 1) Joss really was deeply hurt when he couldn't finish the story, the movie was just a bandaid over the gaping wound, and he can't really bring himself to do any more. 2) He still has some hope that he'll get a chance to start it back up on television.
Maybe both, in some manner of contradictory emotional torment known to wrack artists and writers.

I don't disagree with either of the reasons you've pointed out, although with respect to #2, I feel like THE SHEPHERD'S TALE was very much an admission of defeat ("Even if I do get to tell the story, it won't be the way I wanted it to be.")
Joss has said that the loss of Firefly is a wound that will never completely heal, and if Dollhouse is any example, I think that the wound has hurt him creatively, taken away some of his "mojo," as it were.
Part of what annoys me so about the Dollhouse comic is that Joss previously said there wouldn't be a Dollhouse comic. He said the story and the medium did not really fit. So, frankly, it makes the whole thing feel a little sell-outy to me.

Dear Joss, if you really sell out, we'll worship you forever and won't think any less of you. :o
Please make money, and lots of it, and revisit your franchises however often you want. Love, the fans.
P.S. doFireflynextpleaseplease?

EDIT: Note to self. Sugar rush making everything funny does not translate to more universal amusement.

I guess my biggest problem is just that I want DOLLHOUSE to go away. I don't think it was really good enough to re-visit, and I'd rather he do new things.

What is there left to cover in the comic? We know the ending. We know what was going on. We know who's behind everything. What are these like the untold stories?

We could argue the same thing about the Buffy and Angel series, which stopped the end of the world, or Firefly, which flew off into the stars after a rather pyrrhic victory against the Alliance.
A story doesn't have to end if the story teller wants to keep telling it. We might be able eventually to argue that they're continuing it on well past the point of any meaning or relevance, but if they're having fun and people still want to listen, it's an empty complaint.
In real life, the story doesn't end when the hero gets the girl or beats the evil empire, but we rarely get to see that aftermath except in fanfic.

That's why you should never go see a movie based on a true story. Real life is lame.
The end of Dollhouse was way way way more final than Buffy, Angel or Firefly. To even imply anything else is just being silly. If you really believe they're similar then there's no sense in even having a conversation.

And yet, crapsack as this world is and deeply troubled as I am myself personally, I would have to argue AGAINST giving up on real life.

I would argue that there's no point in having a conversation more because I haven't SEEN Buffy and Angel. However, I have seen Dollhouse, obviously I've seen Firefly, and I can think of numerous directions both could go from where they "end." I assumed the same of the Buffy and Angel comic books, partially because the continuation comic books exist.
