The adventures continued in the feature film Serenity.
Now Browncoats fans know what happens next.

It’s a Firefly reunion tonight! Adam Baldwin will reunite on-screen with this former Serenity Captain, Mal Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) on ABC’s Castle for the first time in 8 years. TV Guide says don’t expect the on-screen relationship to be just like it was on Firefly and the movie Serenity.
Baldwin plays Detective Ethan Slaughter, a gang unit officer. Is Baldwin playing a good guy, bad guy or just “aims to misbehave” to quote Mal!
I just love the Browncoats (if you’re not Firefly savvy, these were the good guys in a future war) and now fans gear up in the uniforms and call themselves Browncoats. The fans are a welcome addition to cons everywhere.
I just saw Adam Baldwin and Summer Glau recently at Emerald City Comicon and fans of the series (has it really been 10 years?) are still devoted to the cast of the Joss Whedon created show.
It’s cool to see the cast members still have a bond too.
One of my most anticipated books for Free Comic Book Day 2012 is the Star Wars/Serenity flipbook from Dark Horse Comics. The publisher will delight two fan universes with one comic book.
The Star Wars story will star Han Solo and Chewbacca. Serenity will feature Captain Mal Reynolds. New art and an interview with writer Zach Whedon (his brother Joss created the Firefly/Serenity universe) is on today’s Comic Book Resources.
You might think Han and Mal might find a lot on common – if they weren’t competing for the same smuggling job but Whedon doesn’t see Reynolds and Solo getting along.
“I think if they could get past their initial misgivings – Mal with Han’s shifty, smooth-talking nature. Han with Mal’s stoic solider routine – they’d have a lot to talk about. But I think it’s more likely they’d butt heads, possibly literally,” said Whedon.
