Jump into the comics of Joss Whedon with a value-packed issue that contains three number ones of the newest Whedon series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10, Angel & Faith Season 10, and Serenity: Leaves on the Wind. "There’s no easy way to explain the title except to tell a story that Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Alliehas allowed out of the bag. Allie says the conversation with Joss Whedon that resulted in the title went like this: We wanted a title that covered all of it, and so I went to Joss. He’s of course pretty busy right now, so we didn’t get to talk, but he did give me a great name. Today I sent him the cover with the title on it, and he replied: Good god, you actually called it that. Cool. It is...

Mal’s plan B—a plan he didn’t like when he made it—has gone into action, and the Serenity has come out of hiding. With his crew, one victim, and a hostage, Mal is ready to fight the Alliance head on—but first, they are going to rescue Zoe, no matter what! "Proof that theres life in this old girl yet, the series as a whole has been absolutely wonderful, even if this particular issue – by its very nature of wrapping up everything thats happened, and setting up a new status quo – isnt quite as good as its predecessor. Still, it leaves you wanting more, and thats very much to its credit, and its not enough to dock it any points. And then theres the final panel – you can practically hear David...

Ten years since Joss Whedon’s western-in-space cult classic Firefly went off the air, the rabidity of its fandom, better known as the Browncoats, hasn’t waned at all. Rather, since the advent of streaming video services like Netflix, the show has found even more fans, as its fourteen episodes and subsequent follow-up film, Serenity, became more easily accessible than ever for those of us who maybe missed the boat back in 2002-2003. Couple that with Joss Whedon’s unparalleled success at the box office with 2012′s Avengers, and you have a fever pitch for all things in which the Firefly maestro has had a hand. But the perennial Change.org petitions to bring Firefly back from the grave aren’t going to get the...

As Scott Allie, editor on our Whedonverse comics and graphic novels (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Dollhouse) stated: We've always loved the fact that Can't Stop the Serenity started here in Portland, the same as Dark Horse.

[Transmission: XXeiojl390423 Terminal: 33dcak28xbb] It seems that the colloquial name used by survivors for most everyone that got the Call is The Butchers. Charming. [End Transmission] When the call from Rossum went viral, almost anyone who answered became a Butcher or a Wielder, while others’ minds were just wiped and left as hollow shells. Those transformed by this event are our neighbors, friends, families, and lovers. They are the people we’re closest to, as well as the strangers we ignore. But I wanna focus on the Butchers: what they are and what they mean. They’re no one and anyone—Butchers are bloodthirsty, raging, mindless killing machines. If you aren’t one of them,...

[Transmission: XXeiojl390385 Terminal: 33dcak28xbb] Early estimates report that The Call reached around 3 billion people. Accuracy remains unknown. [End Transmission] When Rossum’s viral calls went out, I actually imprinted hundreds of individuals with my personality and unique skill set. It might sound like a cruel tactic to wipe an innocent, especially since I’m trying to stop the tech, but if the Original Me dies in Tokyo, someone has to use the knowledge I have. And who knows, maybe when we find Echo we’ll discover a way to restore personalities . . . and then this body I’ve borrowed can return to whoever I was (it was?). This must be possible, and I know I can help in...
