Serenity: Leaves on the Wind hits number one on NYT list

The graphic novelization of Dark Horse Comics’ Serenity mini-series from 2012 (based on the Joss Whedon movie of the same name) has landed at number one on the New York Times Best Seller List.

The movie Serenity put a capper of sorts on the Firefly TV show that’s become such a huge fan favorite since its cancellation on Fox years ago. Even so though, there are plenty of places for the story of Captain Mal Reynolds and crew to go, and more than a few fans who want to see them go there… wherever that might be.

In Serenity: Leaves on the Wind, writer Zach Whedon followed up on the film with a six issue run that explored the aftermath of the bombshell events of the movie and what they held for not only the crew of Serenity, but also the corrupt Alliance government. Even with them being hunted to the ends of the ‘verse though, what’s left of the Serenity’s crew can’t sit by when one of their own is apprehended, and that’s where the Leaves on the Wind story kicks off.

If you haven’t read the series, then this collected edition is the way to go since all six issues are included along with the exclusive 2012 Free Comic Book Day story. You can catch the graphic novel right now in shops and online, though you might have a little trouble finding it- it’s quite the smash.
