Serenity is coming out tomorrow
Mal, Simon, Wash, Zoe, River, Kaylee, Jayne, Inara, Book.
Title text: Mal, Simon, Wash, Zoe, River, Kaylee, Jayne, Inara, Book.

Explanation

This comic is about the release of the movie Serenity, which was supposed to be the sequel to Joss Whedon's TV show, Firefly, which was cancelled by Fox after only one season (which it had aired out of order). The show was followed by a devoted number of fans who were outraged by the cancellation of the show. High DVD sales and strong fan support allowed the follow up film Serenity to be created, which tied up many of the loose ends that Firefly left open, such as the cause of River's abilities and the origins of the reavers.

The image shows the main characters of Firefly. From left to right:

Trivia

  • [Original Randall quote]: "Drawn in honor of the upcoming Serenity! If you work very hard you can figure out who is who."
  • Original title "Firefly"
  • This is the tenth comic originally posted to livejournal. The previous one was 6: Irony. The next one was 10: Pi Equals.
