Inkworks Firefly: The Complete Collection
by Lando da Pimp

We may never get another film or season based on Joss Whedon’s masterpiece, but that doesn’t mean that Firefly is dead. With the Browncoats (fans of the show) spreading the word, more and more are discovering Firefly on DVD. Because of the success of the DVD and film Serenity, Firefly / Serenity products are becoming available three years after the show was cancelled. Inkworks has so much faith in the fans that the Firefly: The Complete Collection trading cards is now available in stores following the Serenity trading cards released last year.

The 72-card series captures moments from the 14 episodes telling the stories as oringinally planned. If you don’t know, Firefly, permiered in 2002 on the Fox network. With baseball games and the episodes aired out of order it was impossible for people to follow the show. After 11 of the 14 episodes Fox cancelled the show.

The series is set in 2517 following the adventures of the crew of the Serenity, a Firefly class ship. Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) captain’s Serenity, making money from cargo runs and / or smuggling, all while avoiding the Alliance. The nine-member crew all have secrets especially Simon and River Tam.

Also included are cards detailing the behind the scenes photos along with character cards on the Serenity crew. One out of every 36 packs contain an autograph card signed by one of the following stars of the show:

Nathan Fillion – Malcolm Reynolds

As a fan of the show or Browncoat I feel it my responsiblility to spread the word of the show and encourage fans of the show to support any product related to the show. The bigger the Browncoats grow the better chance of Joss continuing the stories of the Serenity.

Also for fans of Joss’s other show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Inkworks has a trading card set entitle Buffy: Memories. You can get a free promo card for this upcoming set.
