Art: Firefly the TV series lives on

Some refer to Joss Whedon's Firefly as a 'cult classic.'  Wikipedia describes it as a "American space western drama."  To me it had some of the most memorable characters seen on television.

For years fans have tried to revive it, as reported in "Fans launch 'Help Nathan Fillion Buy Firefly' movement (2011)." Earlier this year the Netflix announcement "Firefly to make landmark return to Netflix" turned out to be an April Fool's joke with the joke on Netflix. Drats!

If you want to see what I'm talking about, mosey on over to Hulu where you can watch Firefly free.

Firefly also lives on in Serenity comics by Dark Horse. According to the Wikipedia article--
Written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, and illustrated by Will Conrad, the first miniseries, Those Left Behind, was created as a bridge between the events of the series and film. Those Left Behind was popular: the first issue was the highest-selling comic published by Dark Horse Comics until the release of Buffy Season 8 in 2007.
Last December Comic Book Resources interviewed Joss on the Serenity series.

Here's a video with screenshots of frames from the comic and music from the TV series, posted by Chaitea16.
