Storyline: Better Days Part 3 (of 3)
Date: May 14, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews
Artist: Will Conrad

Synopsis: Better Days concludes with a brutal showdown when one of Serenity’s crew is taken captive and tortured. The gang must put their enduring differences aside and work together to save one of their own, even if it may mean losing the cash prize of a lifetime. Joss Whedon returns to his blockbuster hit Serenity, reuniting with Brett Matthews and Will Conrad, his collaborators on the bestselling 2005 series Those Left Behind. Adam Hughes joins the team for covers.

Opinion: At last the final issue of Serenity has arrived. Now I can stop reading and critiquing this horrible comic. Yes, sadly it hasn’t gotten any better now that it’s at the end. The story line is disjointed, the action scenes are impossible to follow and the threat isn’t even explained.

As I explained with Serenity: Better Days #1, I do really enjoy the Firefly episodes and the movie Serenity, but this comic series left much to be desired. My expectations must have been too high since I keep finding issues with this mini.

Storyline: Better Days Part 2 (of 3)
Date: April 9, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews
Artist: Will Conrad

Synopsis: The second issue of Serenity: Better Days, follows Mal and his rag-tag crew on a short-lived vacation, where they explore their fantasies and confront long-forgotten enemies.

Opinion: At the end of the last issue the crew had found jackpot, and had become wildly wealthy overnight. This issue focused on their individual dreams of what they would do if they were millionaires. Very nostalgic for someone like me who knows these characters very well but not the best use of a comic book. Comics have limited space, why waste it on dreams and character development when you only have three issues. Let’s have some action!

Well, here we are. Not only do we tempt alien life with our unmatched potential to make great pets, we’re going so far as to sweeten the pot by informing them of our tasty treats. Doritos is set to make history as the very first to advertise in space, broadcasting to 47 Ursae Majoris later this year.

I just want everyone to know that when aliens come, and They. Will. Come. to conquer our planet looking to enslave mankind to mine doritos for them, I called it!

Read about this project Doritos, the University of Leicester and EISCAT have joined up to undertake and the science behind it after the jump.

Storyline: None Specified
VHS Release Date: December 13, 1993
Price: $2.25 US
Actors: James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, Joan Weldon, James Arness
Director: Gordon Doublas

Synopsis: That ol’ cinematic devil the A-bomb has spawned a colony of giant murderous ants bent on destroying humanity.

Opinion:

I was about 9 years old when I saw this movie and it gave me some pretty good nightmares. Starring James Whitmore, Edmund Green, a young James Arness, and some pretty scary ants.

From the first scene where it shows a barren dessert and two cops in a patrol car being told to be on the lookout for a child wandering the dessert. To them finding this wide eyed, expressionless little girl wandering aimlessly in her night clothes,it grabs your interest.
