... I thought folk might be interested in knowing that this was published on Thursday (in the UK at least):

I just happened to be in a bookshop on Thursday or I'd not have known it existed.  So chalk one up to the serendipity of bookshops.

I read it yesterday and although it's clearly the first in a series, it looks like a promising start.  Gives a bit of background to Mal's experiences in the wars as it tells a story involving all the usual characters (pre-Serenity).  I've enjoyed all the other Firefly graphic novels and this is very similar.  Size is made up a bit by having a 'gallery' of cover pictures at back along with a few pages of script and draft drawings showing, sort of, how it gets made.

My apologies that I've been a bit quiet of late - I was speaking at a conference last week, wife's school reports need proof-reading and other general I-can't-fit-everything-in type stuff.  Going to switch off for the rest of the day but have fun.
