Long Live The Browncoats!!!
For many, the movie Serenity may not have made sense. And why should it? The movie was meant to satiate the desires of devoted Firefly fans (like me!).
If you have no gorram clue what I’m taking about, Firefly was a sci-fi/western hybrid show created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) for FOX. Poor scheduling aired the episodes out of order and the show was canceled. Dong ma?
Though the movie was meant to cater to fans, there was enough new in the film that viewers could jump on board. Firefly and Serenity are now cult favorites and continue to find new audiences.

It is for this reason Dark Horse Comics has decided to launch a new Firefly miniseries, Serenity: Better Days, written by Whedon. It may also have to do with the success of Angel and Buffy related comic books that continue where the TV shows leave off.
This is not Dark Horse’s first foray into the ‘Verse. Serenity: Those Left Behind was designed to fill in the gaps left between the series’ cancellation and the movie. It was originally collected in paperback form, but in anticipation for more series and due to sales was released in hardcover.

Serenity: Better Days #1, as of now, is scheduled for a March 12, 2008 release.
