ACK!!!! You can’t stop the signal! New Hardcover Firefly comic!!!

Hoooly crap on a crap cracker, Batman! Mick sends word via Google Buzz that finally the secrets of Shepherd Book from Firefly will be told in a hardcover graphic novel called ‘The Shepherd’s Tale.’

The Shepherd’s Tale will be written by Zach Wheadon, Joss’ brother, based off a scene-by-scene outline by Joss himself.

You can read more about it via way of io9 via Comic Book Resource.

I was a big fan of Ron Glass in WKRP in Cincinatti, and was very surprised when he first walked in-frame. Best comment I’ve seen about him (from i09; link below):

I saw Ron Glass on the street a few years back. I walked up to him and said, “One day, you really are going to have to tell us how a tertiary character on a half-season show became such a cult figure.” He looked me dead in the eye and said “No, I really do not.”

And then he shot down an Alliance dropship.

Ruttin’ Alliance.

Are you as excited to return to the ‘Verse as I am?
