]]> ComicMix talked to Joss at Comic-Con - did anyone not talk to Joss at Comic-Con? Did the man ever sleep? - and he revealed a bit more about the upcoming Serenity comic:
COMICMIX: With The Shepherd’s Tale , why is Shepherd Book the first character from Firefly to get a solo story? JOSS WHEDON: I’ve done a breakdown of the story. I think Jim Krueger is going to write the actual script. The biggest mystery of what we never got to tell is Shepherd’s backstory. Everybody knew there was something more than just being Shepherd in there. And poor Ron [Glass] came to me during the strike and said, “I’m going to another convention. You’ve got to give me something.” It’s been a number of years and they always ask [about Shepherd]. I said, “You know what, it has been long enough and this isn’t something I’m going to save for the sequel that may never happen, so we’ll make a comic book out of it.” Because it’s an interesting story, really. It’s the single most-asked question: “What’s up with Book?” And now we’re going to answer that.
The interview has more about the current best-selling Buffy and Angel comics, so go check it out.]]> http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/07/26/joss-on-shepherds-tale-comic/feed/ 0 Big things coming from QMx and Dark Horse… http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/29/big-things-coming-from-qmx-and-dark-horse/ http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/29/big-things-coming-from-qmx-and-dark-horse/#comments Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:34:23 +0000 The Cortex http://www.serenitystuff.com/?p=2203 “Lemme guess.

Not sure what’s up yet, but TFAW has removed the laser-engraved lucite ornament from their preorders and sent cancellations to early buyers. And the site shows “out of stock.” Word is that it’s been cancelled, but I won’t be able to get confirmation of that until tomorrow at the earliest so for now that’s just a best guess. Check back for updates. Guess I’ll have to find something else to fill that nook I had waiting.

These are the original pages, on 11″ x 17″ art board, rendered in full pencils by the artist. (Some pencillers do rough or less detailed artwork, for the inker to fill in; Conrad does complete and beautiful work.) These are pages from #3, and like most original comic artwork you may see a detail or two that didn’t make it to the final printed work. Check ‘em out!

Limited edition Serenity comic from Dark Horse and the Cali Browncoats http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/06/big-news-limited-edition-serenity-comic-from-dark-horse-and-the-cali-browncoats/ http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/06/big-news-limited-edition-serenity-comic-from-dark-horse-and-the-cali-browncoats/#comments Sat, 07 Jun 2008 02:21:24 +0000 The Cortex http://www.serenitystuff.com/?p=2155 Dark Horse Comics is really cool. They are unbelievably cool. They are, in fact, so unbelievably cool that they’ve joined forces with the California Browncoats to make a variant Serenity comic to sell at the San Diego Comic-Con , just to benefit Kids Need to Read . Which is pretty cool, you gotta admit. The California Browncoats will be selling the comics at SDCC. It will be a variant edition of “Serenity: Better Days #1″ with the Will Conrad wraparound cover art they used for their special DH 100 version, only this will display Will’s pencils instead. 32 pages, all the stuff from the first one, but with a cardstock cover for extra specialness. They’ll be $10 each, only 5,000 will ever be available, and 100% of the proceeds (roughly 8 bucks per book) will be donated to Kids Need to Read, the children’s literacy program founded by Nathan Fillion and author PJ Haarsma. These will only be available at Comic-Con 2008, but even if you can’t go the California Browncoats are there for you. Specifically, on eBay, where on all five days of the con they’ll be selling copies of the DH-California Browncoats SDCC edition of Serenity. Again, all proceeds will go to Kids Need to Read. Bookmark their eBay page and be ready (I’ll give you a heads up when it gets close). Major thanks to Dark Horse and to the Cali Browncoats sponsors Gabriel Stempinski, Margaret Weis Productions , Creation Entertainment , Poplollies.com , The Powers Team - Marsia and Eugene , Dwight Bragdon, Done The Impossible and Quantum Mechanix , who helped make this possible. This is a great collectible and a great cause (funny how so many Whedon-based projects combine the two). Check out the California Browncoats site for more details .]]> http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/06/big-news-limited-edition-serenity-comic-from-dark-horse-and-the-cali-browncoats/feed/ 0 Serenity lunchboxes are here http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/04/serenity-lunchboxes-are-here/ http://www.serenitystuff.com/2008/06/04/serenity-lunchboxes-are-here/#comments Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:42:55 +0000 The Cortex http://www.serenitystuff.com/?p=2154 Well, not here, precisely, but at a comics store near you.
