DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES SERENITY PRODUCTS

[MattBrady]

Press Release

One of the most popular products released this year by Dark Horse Deluxe, the merchandise division of Dark Horse Comics, Inc., was the sculpted reproduction of the spaceship Serenity, from the Universal Studios film directed by Joss Whedon. An instant
sell-out, the detailed ornament features two ways to display it: a traditional hook-and-eye
device and a small base with a dowel that allows it to be placed on a flat surface.

Because of strong demand from collectors, Dark Horse now is planning a limited release of a variant ornament. This version will be titled “Serenity In Disguise”, and depicts the
ship as it looks when the crew finds it necessary to alter its appearance in order to pass as one of the evil Reavers’ ships.

This will be a limited edition release with a production run based on advance orders. No
further manufacturing will take place after the initial edition size is set. The cut-off date
for these advance orders is March 1, 2007, to be released in May. No reorders will be
honored, so Dark Horse advises retailers and consumers to order in a timely fashion, and
to anticipate their long-term needs when doing so.

Additionally, the coming year will see the release of the first set of PVC features based
on three of the movie’s prominent characters. This set has been beautifully sculpted by
Gentle Giant Studios, and includes the heroic and handsome Captain Malcolm Reynolds,
the rough, but loveable Jane, and the mysterious River Tam.

The Serenity PVC set arrives on sale May 16, 2007 carrying $17.99 price tag.

The limited edition Serenity variant ornament arrives on sale in May for $19.99.

Look for more exciting Serenity products in the coming year, as well as a new comic
series to be released in the fall.

Sweet! When I saw the picture I thought that it was going to be a sculpture of the ship. Instead it's something I can actually afford!

Do not be too hard on Matt for his spelling. He does make alot of spelling mistakes(Bad Matt,NO COOKIE!),but least he IS bringing us this news.

It's not Matt's fault. Press packets, releases, and promotions (hell, I think they even did it on the trading cards and cds) almost always spell his name wrong, or call him a girl. And Jayne ain't a girl.

series to be released in the fall. (And for the folks who think the story should have been about that, it's quite possible that there is no more information than that at this point. This far in advance, it may not have a set creative team, plot, or other elements... and even if it does, Dark Horse may not want to have the excitement over it peak before the book is solicitied.)

I'm pretty sure the creative team is the same as on the first mini-series; Joss coming up with the plot, Brett Matthews writing it and Will Conrad on art. As far as the plot goes all we know is that it will take place during the TV series.

I'm all for new product that is well done. But it's almost like a sore reminder how this show (and movie) had such potential that seems to be going to waste. I suppose in a perfect world, FOX wouldn't have F'd things up.
