Serenity: The Other Half

The new issue of Dark Horse Presents on Myspace has a short 8 page Serenity comic. The art is by Will Conrad, who did the other Serenity comics, and is writen by Jim Krueger, who will be writing A Shepard's Tale.

I just read it and I really liked it! It was a great story.

But am I the only one that wants a post-Serenity story? Joss has said that any future work would include those who *spoilers* died */spoilers* in the movie. But I want to see the repercussions of what happened in the movie, you know?

I am, however, extremely excited about A Shepherd's Tale.

Yeah I'm assuming 'A Shepards Tale' will be a post Serenity story seen as Mal didn't know about Books past at that point, so either I'm guesssing that the crew are on their way to discovering who he actually was after he died or the story is being told in narration by Shepard Book or who ever he actually was. Not sure if anybody has read this yet but here are a few important facts about Shepard Book straight from Joss himself:

1) A part of Book's body is not real, fake.

This is a good reason why he says that he is "more or less intact". Ohh

2) Also Joss said that Book found God in a bowl of soup.

Whatever that means??

3) Shepard Derial Book is NOT his real name. It is the name of the person that he first killed.

Ohhh!

4) Shepard Book or whatever his real name is, is best know for his biggest failure.

Could his failure be with River escaping the acedamy, was he sent aboard the ship to bring her back or is his biggest failure during the war. Perhaps at Serenity valley was he on the alliance side?

5) Also at a Comicon 2007 Nathan Fillian and Moreana Bacarin revealed that 'Book' was a dirty cop who had connections to the alliance. They also revealed that Inara had a secret that Joss never got the chance to tell.

Joss will probally never get to tell Inara's secret unless it's in comics which I don't really mind though I would prefer it to be in a movie.

I hope Inara's secret is revealed one day. She's my favourite ! But hasn't it already hinted that she had a way to make people who have sex with her die ?

Inara's secret?

I love this issue. It's nice to get free stuff.

Inara's secret?

Yeah, Inara had a secret that they were going to explore if the show hadn't been cancelled. Like asked on the show, why would a registered Companion be traveling on a Firefly vessal. Also, in Out of Gas, when Inara and Simon are talking about death, Inara says "I don't want to die at all" and she has a look on her face. The commentary revealed that she had a big secret that she was hiding.

Oh, okay.
