Patton Oswalt's writing a Firefly comic!

Hoban Washburne

Patton Oswalt is not only a very funny fellow, he was part of one of the real standout episodes of "Dollhouse".  Apparently he is writing a one-shot Serenity sequel comic:

Post-'Serenity,' a bunch of Wash's friends who we haven't met on the show, they're basically buying a new ship and christening it... It's called a 'float-out' when you christen a ship. As they're christening a new ship, they're telling stories about Wash, and we're basically seeing what could be the start of a new adventure.

"Serenity" in The Onion AV Club

Nice feature on "Serenity" from The Onion AV Club's New Cult Canon:

For whatever reason—let’s just say the general suckiness of humanity—Serenity wasn’t a box-office smash, which dispelled for a while any hope that Whedon would carry George Lucas’ populist science-fiction mantle into an infinitely cooler future. But it realizes a fantasy that advocates of other brilliant-but-cancelled TV shows usually only experience in fan fiction: It brings a beloved series to a natural, satisfying close. (Let’s face it: Even successful TV series don’t often come in for a graceful ending. Most of them overstay their welcome or peter out meekly.) And the only way to account for that is passion. A few loud voices raised in unison sounded like a much larger chorus to a studio, and with Serenity, Whedon and his followers got away with something.
