Serenity Comic Book Series
stoolpigeon writes "CBR News is reporting that Dark Horse will be publishing a 3 comic series to provide material that bridges the gap between the Firefly T.V. show and the Serenity film. From the press release: 'The plot of the comic book series centers on the crew members of the ship known as Serenity, who once again find themselves broke and on the wrong side of a number of very large firearms when a heist goes awry, and some old enemies catch their scent. After facing one failure after another, Malcolm Reynolds becomes the target of a conspiracy between government and mercenary forces, and a tense and divided crew must try to unite behind their compromised leader...'"

Age old question: How can you tell if the movie/show you're watching is science fiction or fantasy?
Easy. If it's fantasy, there will be dwarfs and men with beards in the cast.
If it's sci-fi, the script will talk about mercenaries a lot. If it calls them "mercs," it's a dead giveaway.
Breakfast served all day!
The entire series is centered around an interesting crew of renegade smugglers in the distant future. There are strong elements of the Wild West. It's basicly a space opera, like star wars, but without all the lame acting.

Or... all that in 2 words
You can't take the sky from me...
In Fantasy, the hot chicks are scantily clad because you want them to be.
In Science Fiction, the hot chicks are scantily clad for a reason central to the internal logic of the universe.
Remember kids, any sufficiently advanced Science Fiction is indistinguishable from Fantasy.

For example, how big is the Firefox universe? Is it a galaxy? A group of star systems? A single system?
The Firefox universe consists of Firefox, Mozilla, Thunderbird, Bugzilla, and Camino...
Any American citizen has a chance, you know. Just make the right choices, and I'm sure your dream will come true.
"I am a fictional character."
I imagine that Fox were probably such pricks because the BAD guys in Serenity are the Government. That's not a good theme for Fox. Same thing with the show's predecessor, Dark Angel. Good following, abused by Fox - the Government are the Bad Guys.
Now look at FoxNews. THIS rediculous show, they put on it's own channel, 24-hours. On that show, the Government are the GOOD guys. (despite ample evidence of the opposite).
These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
...either the film or the comic book after visiting the web site.
