Firefly geeking and Rivendell!

[annathepiper]

I heard tell from kaseido yesterday that the first issue of the Serenity three-part comic is actually out--which made me go DOH DOH DOH, because I'd been really anxious to pick that up. mamishka and I made a pact to call around today and see if we had a prayer of finding copies for ourselves; we weren't too hopeful, given that we were five days late (the ish came out on 7/20), and given how fast the tickets for every single movie preview have been slurped up by the Browncoats all over the U.S. and Canada.

However, all hail lyricae, who found Meems and me some copies of the Captain-Mal-cover version of #1, and ordered them for us! Yay Cheryl! *throws rose petals around*

For other Firefly fans on my list, it may be too late to find copies of issue #1, but start looking NOW and maybe you'll get lucky. Be on the lookout for issue #2's release on 8/3 and #3 on 9/7. Meems and I are hoping for the Kaylee cover for #2, and River for #3!

Also courtesy of kaseido, here, y'all, have a preview of some of the interior art on issue #1. Looks pretty fine to me! I could hear the character voices jump into my head as I looked it over!

In the meantime, I hopped on the treadmill when I got home to get in the evening exercise, and I feel quite jazzed. I think I'll be getting in some writing tonight, too, after supper!

Monday evening miles: 1.59
Miles out of Hobbiton: 259.4
Miles to Rivendell: 198.6

Yeah, by the time I got to the comic store, they were sold out ... they said they were getting another shipment, and put my name on the list, but I haven't heard from them yet. Sigh. But, I'm on the pull list for 2 and 3, so hopefully I'll get those right away!

Good luck! Hope you get hold of a copy! I'm really anxious to know how this story goes to be prepped for when the movie is officially released!

Corner Comics is holding all three covers of #1 for me. I just have to actually get over there and pick them up..

[annathepiper]

Ah, buying all nine, are you? ;)

[kaseido.livejournal.com]

awesome! I'm so glad you're going to be able to get it!

[annathepiper]

So am I! I really, really want to know the story that goes between the series and the movie now. :)

I looked for it yesterday and couldn't find it -- will have to keep my eyes peeled (and possibly make some requests :) . We'll see.

If all else fails, ten bucks says that in a few months we'll get a proper bind-up with supplemental pages of all the covers anyway.

Oh, totally, there's going to be a graphic novel. And maybe even a novelization! AND you know every single one of us Firefly fans will shell out for it, too, because as the T-shirt says--"Joss Whedon is my master now". ;)

Gazer picked up #1 a couple of days ago, I think by accident, when he stopped in a comics/gaming shop looking for something else. Ours has the Inara cover. Nice story, good job on the characters, and I like they way they handle the Chinese words.

Wasn't by accident. I showed up on Thursday of the week they were released (on Wednesday) and they were sold out. I got put on the list for them to save me a copy when they got the next order in next wednesday. (That was LAST wednesday) Went and got it that Thursday.

I rarely step in a comics shop anymore...I'm a recovering comicaholic 8->

Glad you scarfed one, regardless! Sounds to me like they're selling well all over. I'm pleased! More money for Joss! ;)

[annathepiper]

Yay! Glad to hear y'all got hold of a copy and that you like it. :) I hardly doubted that the story would satisfy, though it's good to get the confirmation nonetheless!

The lovely executrix got my copy (Inara cover) for me. I was very happy with it.
