Serenity (comics) Serenity (comics) Serenity is a line of comic books published by Dark Horse Comics from 2005 to 2017. It is a canonical continuation of Joss Whedon's "Firefly" television series and the 2005 film "Serenity", which are all part of the "Firefly" media franchise. Initially, Joss Whedon invited Brett Matthews to co-write a story to bridge the series and the film. Matthews had previously worked as Whedon's assistant on several "Buffy", "Angel", and "Firefly" episodes, and had written the script for "Firefly" episode "Heart of Gold". According to Matthews, "Those Left Behind" was originally an anime project, which fell through, leading
Sci-Fi on the Rock to ensure the larger numbers could be accommodated. This new layout has continued to stand as the standard. Special guest actor Richard Hatch of Battlestar Galactica fame, in addition to appearing as a guest, offered an acting workshop for festival patrons. Also appearing was Jeffrey Combs from the Reanimator series, Peter Roy who appeared in Star Wars and Doctor Who, French-born Fantasy Art model Drakaina, comedian and chocolate bar inspiration Fat Apollo, and talent agent Lolita Fatjo, who has helped Sci-Fi on the Rock obtain many of their previous and future guests. The Film Festival returned, featuring 9 short films.
