This Wednesday , the incomparable Patton Oswalt delivers his surreptitious account of Hoban “ Wash ” Washburne in Serenity : Float Out . Mister “ I am a leaf on the lead . Watch how I soar ” has deserved a formal send - off for years — about sentence .
Oswalt is no stranger to cartoon strip ( he antecedently indite JLA : receive to the Working Week for DC ) or the Whedonverse ( he guested on Dollhouse ) , so it ’s skillful to see this one - shot from Dark Horse in Patton ’s loving mitts . Hey publishing firm , I ’m pretty sure if you schedule more of these high - profile Firefly titles , folks’ll buy the bread and butter heck out of them . Hint pinch !
What other famous releases are on Wednesday ’s agenda ?
– Avengers Prime 1 ( wonder ): Brian Michael Bendis and Alan Davis harness Marvel ’s Big 3 – Thor , Iron Man , and Steve Rogers – in this miniseries . I would ’ve preferred more of this from the revamped Avengers serial , but que sera serum .
– iZombie 2 ( DC / Vertigo ): After the savvy $ 1 debut issuance of Chris Roberson and Mike Allred ’s zombie detective series , I ’m looking forward to the on-going risky venture of undead flatfoot Gwen Dylan .
– Brightest Day 3 ( DC ): Undead Firestorm is back , and he ’s give out to call on your girlfriend into a pillar of salt .
– Franken - Castle 17 ( Marvel ): It ’s official – the Punisher of the 616 universe is a patchwork quilt undead gunslinger . If this ai n’t your loving cup of tea , be glad thathe is n’t an holy man anymore .

This week also sports several compendium worth of worthy put-on . There ’s Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark ’s Daredevil Omnibus Volume 2 ( Marvel ) , a reprinting of Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. ’s 1993 miniseries Daredevil : Man Without Fear ( Marvel ) , and the softback edition of Grant Morrison ’s Final Crisis ( DC ) .
Other worthwhile compendium include mass 4 of Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield’sFreakangels World Wide Web comic(IDW ) , intensity 8 of Brian Wood ’s DMZ ( “ Hearts And Minds , ” DC / Vertigo ) , and IDW ’s Metal Gear Solid coach . Ready your cardboard boxes !
What ’s my plectrum OF THE WEEK ? The Star Wars Omnibus Volume 1 – “ A Long Time Ago ” ( Dark Horse ) . It ’s the first 27 issues of Marvel ’s 1977 Star Wars comedian in one manageable brick of a leger . There ’s a lot to love here – Luke making out with Leia , Chewbacca and Han fighting in a holographic arena , the institution of female parent - lovingJaxxon , and Darth Vader yelling at a lot of incompetent underlings . It ’s pulpy , borderline canonical Star Wars storytelling that predates Empire and does n’t fall apart under the weight of its own mythos . Also , the book contains artwork from such heavyweight as Howard Chaykin and Carmine Infantino , so it ’s also a joy to ogle .
As usual , you’re able to find the eternal rest of the week ’s releaseshereand your local risible book purveyorhere . Happy reading , folks !
