A Serenity fan on LiveJournal went to the Hub Conventions Serenity event this past weekend and reported some interesting news from guest Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from Firefly and Serenity). Dark Horse Comics will be publishing a new comic about the character of Book, set prior to the events we’ve already seen on the screen. This is exciting news for fans, as Book is one of the most enigmatic characters of the series.

The second issue of Joss Whedon’s new Serenity prequel series hit this week, and it continues an unsettlingly upbeat tale of the Firefly class ship and her crew. I say it’s unsettling because this series actually see them in the midst of some good luck, while I’m used to seeing them bloody, foiled, and occasionally dead. But, as the title suggests, this series is all about seeing the crew in better days, and it’s been an enjoyable first two issues. The second issue is worth checking out even if only on the merit of one panel regarding Book. Read on for the review (with spoilers).

Jewel Staite was a guest at the Supanova Expo in Melbourne, Australia, this weekend. During her Q&A, she mentioned that a new special edition Firefly box set is coming. She didn’t share any details about the rerelease other than that she’s been asked to provide a commentary for it in the spring. Online speculation is that this could be a high-def format of the series, but only time will tell. It seems like a no-brainer that a new Firefly release would be coming, given the first DVD set’s huge, movie-prompting success. Serenity2.net has the YouTube video of Jewel’s session.
