Look what I got in the mail…

Well, not both of them. Already had Serenity, I just put her in there to give you the scale. No, I'm talking about the unshielded, blood-dripping, pieced-together-from-every-other-damn-ship Redaver ship ornament from Dark Horse. It's on sale now, and this is what you get.

Like the art from the new Serenity mini-series, "Serenity: Better Days" by Will Conrad?

Wanna own some?

He's auctioning off pages at eBay, with some pretty reasonable Buy It Now prices.

100 retailers won the Dark Horse 100 contest and received 10 each of this ultra-rare version of "Serenity: Better Days" #1 with a wrap-around cover by artist Will Conrad. That means only 1000 of these were made, and you know you want one. How can that happen?

First, check the list of winners to see if your local comic store was one of the lucky ones, and then head over there and start your begging. You're a known browncoat there, right? Friendly and helpful and one of the regulars? Depending on the store, maybe you'll get lucky.

If not, head to eBay, where they're already popping up for sale. Prices are varying wildly, so try different combinations of search terms to see if you can nab one that maybe not everyone is seeing.

Good luck, travelers, and if you find any good sources please post 'em in the comments.

The first issue of "Serenity: Better Days" came out yesterday, one of the three.

I'll avoid spoilers, but it takes place before the movie (and before the last comic). Everyone's alive, everyone's on the ship, and it reads more like a Firefly episode than the last one. Written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, drawn by Will Conrad.

You can check out some sample pages here.

While you were enjoying the first issue of Serenity: Better Days – and damn, was that fun – did you notice the little mention in the back of the letters page from Dark Horse's Scott Allie?

As for more series — yes. Definitely. Joss and Ron Glass have announced a Shepherd Book series, which we hope to get off the ground by the end of the year.

That is, I believe the first company confirmation of a Book story, and now we know it's a series and not a one-shot. Woo hoo!

It's here! Go hit your local comics store and pick up Serenity: Better Days #1, the first of a new three-part Serenity comic by Joss Whedon, Brett Matthews, Will Conrad, and Michelle Madsen, with the first of a triptych cover set by Adam Hughes.

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.

This takes place after the show, but before the movie and before the first comic book miniseries "Those Left Behind." If you want to try before you buy you can see some sample pages. (If you want to peek aghead, sample pages from #2 are over here.)

You can also order it from TFAW.com here. 
#2 will be out Apr. 9 (Preorder it here!).
And the 3rd will be out May 14 (Preorder it here!)
