Also does anyone know if Book's story is connected in any way to the Firefly prequel comic book mini-series that 20th Century Fox were supposed to bring out in 2002?

Ooo. I like it when they mess with my expectations. Ok not really some times *couDraculagh* but I'd rather be messed with than not.
ETA: I also really like the story about how Ron's list of Book spoilers came to be. That's pretty funny.

So many people share Joss' birthday! (so does my brother, lucky bastard)
Portland does love the Joss-man. You practically can't throw a rock here without hitting a Browncoat or Buffy fan, not that I recommend throwing rocks at anybody.

Huh. I'd be surprised if they were going to tell his story in a comic way back then, seeing as how it would have been something they were building to in the television series itself. (That link is actually the first time I've ever heard that FOX was supposed to do a prequel comic.)

I've not learned anything about its premise, but I have learned that Joss apparently pulled the plug on it before it happened, opting to wait and see how the show came together and progressed before starting to do other things with it.

I was going to make a comment about those books coming out after the "Badger" mini-series, when I realized that Badger would make a pretty funny funny-book. Especially his time in prison (but not as much time as he claims).

Personally I think they can only get so much mileage out of the prequel angle (sales could easily prove me wrong, I know Joss' comics are some of Dark Horse's top sellers...isn't Buffy the top seller since it debuted ? Or do the various Star Wars comics sometimes beat it ?). I dunno, I'll have to see how I feel after Book's story's dealt with. Also, I'm afraid to see a Serenity sequel in comic book form.

And you'll note Scott says there are no plans for that.
@theonetruebix | June 14, 18:40 CET
Or more I guess to tie into my opinion that I don't think they can keep up the prequel/Tales Of Firefly-angle for much longer...but obviously will want to continue making Serenity comics because they sell. So the only other way to go with that would be "sequel", which Joss might eventually relent on when enough years pass.

There was question over whether or not there would be time travel in an arc about a future slayer meeting a present day slayer...? Really?
