Speak for yourself. I think Farscape spanks Firefly. But that's just one man's opinion.

The first four pages of the comic, Serenity #2:

According to my friend who works at the theater that has held all the Vegas screenings of Serenity, Universal cancelled a screening there that would've taken place at the end of July. He doesn't know if it was the Serenity screening or screenings for either The 40 Year Old Virgin or The Skeleton Key (both Universal pictures that debut in early August).

But for the fact that no information has come about for a late July screening, I would assume it would be the Serenity screening.

That is unless Universal has put everything on lock down involving the July screening? Meaning all theaters/Fandango/Movie Tickets will go live at a specific time that will be announced shortly (we hope), unlike how a few cities sold out before anything was even announced with the 6-23 screenings...

So, I'm assuming everyone ran out to their favorite local comic book store today and picked up all three versions of Serenity #1?

I loved the comic and look forward to having some of those in-between questions answered, although...wow, the Serenity action figures advertised in the very back look several shades of awful.

Yikes, Jayne looks like he has down syndrome. Those are almost as bad as the puppit Angel Replica.

Cool! An action figure of Donnie Wahlberg!

That last one of Mal looks like he is about ready to piss himself or something. I wish they were better looking, but I am sure I will end up with them anyway.

An interview with Brett Matthews, co-writer of the Serenity comic mini-series:

Is it believed that there will be more screenings before the September release?

Terrell

The second figure looks like Han Solo.

Matthew Chmiel

It is confirmed that there will not be a July screening. Anything is fair game though for August. However, Universal should lay off the screenings as it might burn out the film's core audience (however, I'm game to watch Serenity in theaters a few more times... best thing released in 2005 so far).

However, a heavily pushed sneak preview a week or two before it's release could help build the word of mouth on the flick before it's release.

Why's Mal look scared sh*tless?

Speaking of the comic book, I went to one of the few local comic stores in our area to pick up Serenity. There were exactly two left on the shelve of the 45 the store owner said he ordered. He's had to put a reorder in on issue #1 and increasing his order for issue #2.

Puzznic

Consider yourself lucky to get that. Everyone sold out around here just hours after they were put on the shelf. I had to order it online.

Giantrobo

Was a Wonder Woman thread deleted?

Patman

I had to go into town to nab a couple of issues of Serenity #1 (both with the John Cassaday cover of Mal), which was a good 40 miles round-trip for me, but I know this book will be scarce in the short term, plus, I needed the break at work too.

Dumb question: what sort of stores would be likely to carry the Serenity comic books? I haven't the faintest idea where to look. Would a chain like Hastings have them? Wal-mart? Store choices in small-town America are rather limited. And the nearest medium size city is 95 miles away for me.

How about on-line, what sort of stores sell them? I

Edit: A Google search came up with an on-line outfit called tfaw.com that sells them.

Where'd that come from? Please say SDCC so I can get one too!
I'll go out today and try and find a copy of Serenity...if I'm lucky. I wonder if Borders Books would carry it since they do carry comic books?

Barry Woodward

A special screening of an unfinished version of Serenity will take place in San Diego on Saturday, July 16th at 10 PM. This preview screening is available to Comic Con attendees only and seats are extremely limited. The only way to attend this special screening is to pick up a screening pass at the Southern California Browncoats table in the Comic Con Exhibit Hall (table A11-A12), on Saturday, July 16th beginning at 10:30 AM. Passes will be handed out on a first come, first served basis - ONLY ONE PASS PER PERSON!

That's good to hear. I expect to see the same thing in Atlanta.

If anybody knows where I can get one, or if anybody has one for sale hit me up, I want one.

And if its some comic-con special poster get a few extra and I will buy one from an otter that has an extra.

Gizmo

Too bad if I can't stay in SDCC otherwise I'd try and see Serenity again...hopefully I can snag one of those posters if they are be handed out.

I also picked up two copies of the comic book, one with Mal, the other with Jayne. My comic book store had about 10 issues left. LMK if anyone needs any.

RaraFemina

I want that poster!! I need details...come on, give up the goods!
