Right now Adam Hughes, cover artist for "Serenity: Better Days" and the "Those Left Behind" collections, has offered to answer questions over at Whedonesque. Head here and post your questions in the comments!

Posted at Adam Hughes' site, all three covers to the Dark Horse "Serenity: Better Days' comic miniseries, individually and as the complete pic. Be sure to go see 'em all, nice and large. Love the expressions…

Remember, 1st issue is coming out March 12 (Preorder it here!) 
#2 will be out Apr. 9 (Preorder it here!).
And the 3rd will be out May 14 (Preorder it here!)

Check out the first five pages of the first issue of Dark Horse's "Serenity: Better Days" comic here. (Note: apparently it doesn't work so well in Firefox. Grow up, Dark Horse.)

Already we're getting some answers, but the crew doesn't seem to be having much luck yet…

Dark Horse is soliciting for May and the cover for the 3rd issue of "Serenity: Better Days" is in there, which makes me wonder what happened to the cover for #2. Hasn't been seen yet, to my knowledge. Is there a mystery? Is it still being drawn? Are they purposely keeping it under wraps because it reveals something that Joss wants kept a surprise? Is there a special edition "bathing Inara" cover? Is there? Huh?

UPDATE: word from Dark Horse is that there's a delay on the #2 cover art, which isn't nearly as nefarious as I was hoping for. Unless Adam Hughes is maybe taking extra care drawing a bathing Inara…

From the look of it they'll all fit together, so I'm really hoping for a poster. Warning: the solicitation for #3 gives away some very spoilery hints, so you may want to avoid peeking.

The 1st issue is coming out March 12 (Preorder it here!) (Preview the 1st 4 pages of pencil art here!). #2 will be out Apr. 9 (Preorder it here!). And the 3rd will be out May 14 (Preorder it here!)

Steve Gerber, creator of the brilliantly subversive comic "Howard the Duck" — the comic, not the crappy movie — has died.

From the Dark Horse site:

Make sure to tell your favorite retailer that this winter, Dark Horse will be sending 100 winning retailers 10 FREE alternate cover versions of one of this years most anticipated releases, the return of Joss Whedon's Serenity. Joss Whedon and Brett Mathews return to write the mini-series, with Adam Hughes doing covers. The DH100 cover is a custom, full-wrap around piece created by the mini-series artist, Will Conrad.

Tell your local comic store! Maybe after they win they'll be grateful, hint, hint…

Just posted at Diamond Comics, a preview of the first four pencilled pages of the new Serenity comic coming March 12, "Serenity: Better Days."

Better Days revisits everyone’s favorite space cowboys in this thrilling, action-packed adventure, with Mal and his crew on a heist that promises a big payoff–what’s surprising is that this heist just might make good on that promise.

Covers by Adam Hughes, 40 pages. Preorder it at TFAW.

SPOILERS!

During last week's Browncoat Cruise, Ron Glass said Joss had given the OK for him to reveal some tidbits about Book. As follows:

1. There will be a Dark Horse Comic released next year about Book called The Shepherd's Tale
2. A part of Shepherd Book is artificial
3. He found God in a bowl of soup
4. Book is best known for his greatest failure
5. "Derrial" is not his real name. He took that name from a man he killed.

No other details on the comic available so far, but keep checking back.

See what I miss when I go away? The first issue of "Better Days," the next Serenity comic miniseries, is now available for preorder. It'll be out in March. Like the first series, "Those Left Behind," it's written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews and drawn by Will Conrad, but this time big time Browncoat and fan-favorite comic artist Adam Hughes will be doing covers.

Better Days revisits everyone's favorite space cowboys in this thrilling, action-packed adventure, with Mal and his crew on a heist that promises a big payoff–what's surprising is that this heist just might make good on that promise.

Due out March 12. 40 pages (!).

Also, word is that Ron Glass shared some upcoming Book-related comic news while on the Browncoat Cruise last week. Once I find out if it's OK to share, I'll fill you in. Just start saying "oh boy oh boy oh boy" now and get ready.
