I guess the medium does take some getting used to, but Ultimate is a pretty gentle introduction. (I think that's part of the point, to get people reading who weren't already reading the X-Men comics. There has been a lot of complaints from long-time fans because of this, but I find it interesting.)

I've never ead the Serenity comic. Do you have it? I'll have to give it a try when I come visit.

Which brings another question to mind. Do you plan to read the Buffy season 8 comic?
