Joss Whedon—who is directing the upcoming SF movie Serenity, based on his canceled Fox TV series Firefly—told fans at Comic-Con International that he also intends to write a new series of comic books based on the universe and characters. Speaking to thousands of fans in the San Diego Convention Center on July 25, Whedon said, "We have every intention of putting out a comic book of Serenity as well."

Whedon is no stranger to comics, having written the Dark Horse title Fray, a futuristic take on the universe introduced in his UPN TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as the current Marvel title The Astonishing X-Men. "We're talking with Dark Horse right now about doing a Serenity comic book, because of Fray," Whedon added.

Serenity picks up the story of the short-lived Firefly, set 500 years in the future, about the ragtag crew of a transport ship traveling the galaxy in the wake of a galactic civil war. The movie, from Universal Pictures, is currently in production, with an eye to a spring 2005 release. Universal is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.

Never say die!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Shiny news Illbeinmybunk! Excellent news indeed. I would love to have a comic adaptation of the movie and comics about the crew and the universe.

I wonder if the comic will fill in the 6 months in between the end of the series and the beginning of the movie?

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

This is fantastic!

I was thinking to myself, "Self" I said, "It's gonna be great to see that movie, but I need a regular fix. I gotta need. Now where I'm I supposed to get a regular fix from?"

I love the idea of a comic book. I'd buy it every month. Two copies of course, one to tatter and one to put in a shiny bag and tell the guests "NO TOUCHIE!!!"

Could you please just make it stranger? Stranger. Odder. Could be weirder. More bizarre. How about uncanny?

I am already preparing the bedroll, lawnchair, cooler and portable DVD player (w/ Firefly of course!) for camping out in front of the comic book store the night before release!!! LOL!

*drools* hoooo just what I've been waiting for (I also await RPGs and the card game)...and also, it might bring some more fans to the Firefly 'verse.

I'll be sure to have this one on my comic book folder.
