| Serenity is coming out tomorrow |
 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:
- Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds - the ship's captain.
- Simon Tam - a doctor trying to rescue his sister.
- Hoban "Wash" Washburne - the ship's pilot.
- Zoe Washburne - the ship's second-in-command.
- River Tam - Simon's sister, who displays superhuman capabilities, but is crippled by alliance research.
- Kaylee Frye - the ship's happy-go-lucky mechanic.
- Jayne Cobb - the hired muscle.
- Inara Serra - a companion, the equivalent of a courtesan, but with a greater deal of respect.
- Derrial Book - a shepard, which is similar to a priest, with a very unknown backstory.
