Publisher Comments:

Penned by Whedon and Brett Matthews, who wrote several episodes of Firefly as well as Dark Horse's final Angel comics series and the animated Chronicles of Riddick feature "Dark Fury," Serenity follows a ship full of mercenaries, fugitives and one law-abiding prostitute in their pursuit for fast cash and a little peace along the fringes of space. The ragtag crew of Serenity take on a scavanger mission with the hopes of earning enough dough to disappear for a while. Only too late do they realize the whole gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager remake their aquanitance with the help of some covert-operatives known only as the Blue Gloves. Artist Will Conrad (Marvel's Elektra and Witches) and colorist Laura Martin (Astonishing X-Men and The Ultimates) paint a rough and wild world of adventure across a strange and dangerous universe, in this not-to-be-missed tale straight from the brain of pop-culture mastermind Joss Whedon!

A Definite Must Have for the die hard fans of Joss Whedon and the TV series "Firefly". In this book, you have articles and foreword by Joss himself and you get to peek into the production world of the movie...which has developed a cult following here in Portland and all over the world...I reluctantly watch the series with my sci-fi fan husband and now I am fully hooked by the characters, the witty verbal repartee, strong female characters and plot development. Since then I have been both pleasantly surprised by how many of my friends are fans of Joss Whedon and his work.
A friend from our church recommended the book and bought one for us. Now I would recommend it to any fan of Joss Whedon and the movie or the series as reading the book gave me more insight as to why and how the series, the movie and Joss Whedon all became such cult phenomenas.
