In re: to whitefont. Wow. I mean, that's just ridiculous. I don't even follow the comics, but even as a fan of B:TAS I'm completely boggled and offended that they would pull that crap.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

See, this is why I didn't get dragged along into the superhero titles, even with Plei pimping issues to me. I just didn't trust DC Editorial to stick with good writing and characterization. I'm sad to see that they're being complete morons about the story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Batman dancing the Batusi would actually be less OOC than this.
Plus? More fun.

Is Serenity a three or four issue series?
Three. BTW, we got the novelization of the movie in at work (B&N) today.

(Hey, I thought that the Angel comic was a three-issue deal -- but it appears to be continuing.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
holy crap.
Yeah, I saw it at Amoeba and was feeling covetous even though I've got all the music.

The novelization.
Yeah, I read it last night and the novelization does a wonderful job of not only capturing the movie (with a few adjustments for the page, like one scene that I thought was skipped over appearing later as a recollection because it makes for a better flow in the book) but also inserting some background from events on Firefly to give unfamiliar readers a sense of what's happened up to the point the movie begins.
The dialogue is preserved nicely on the page, with some snippets that seem like they may have been cut from the movie remaining, so that's like a little bonus. At one point, I was wondering if the pacing was going too fast compared to the length of the book (257 pages) but I think that was just because I was anticipating some of the later action.
