*For the first time in hardcover: the miniseries Serenity: Better Days, the short stories Serenity: The Other Half and the previously uncollected Serenity: Downtime, and the one-shot Serenity: Float Out*Hardcover, measures 7" x 10"*128 pages, full color*Brand new Serenity: Better Days, from Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, follows everyone's favorite space cowboys in an action-packed adventure, where the crew takes on a heist that promises a big payoff. But when someone is taken captive, the gang must put aside their enduring differences and work together, at the risk of losing their cash prize.
This run captured the tone of Firefly, dare I say it, perfectly. I honestly think it did. I own/have read the others and quite frankly this sucked me right back into the 'verse. I know there are camps on either side of some of the others (Shepherd's Tale specifically), but I just don't see there being many that dislike Leaves on the Wind.
Enough of my opinion. Leaves on the Wind is a six part miniseries that takes place after Serenity. It is mainly written by Zack Whedon and illustrated by Georges Jeanty (of Buffy: Season 8 variety). While there are only six issues in this run, and no plans for making any more (that I know of at the time of writing this), demand speaks volumes.
Back to my opinion. If possible, purchase at your local comic book store to lend your support. Don't buy comics regularly and aren't sure what to expect at a comic book store? PM me, I'll walk you through it.
And now, contrary to what I just said, I will provide you with Amazon links to the other Firefly comics.
These are also all available on the Dark Horse website. It looks like pre-orders for Leaves on the Wind hardcover go earlier than on Amazon (Nov 5th compared to Nov 18th), which is not surprising as it comes directly from the source.
Stay shiny and keep flying.
Edit: Added Dark Horse link
I had heard recently about the news that a comic was going to be in development soon but I had no idea there already were some comics made!
(edit: note to self, learn to look at the sidebar once in while...)
Just added these to my Amazon cart:
I believe that covers all released comics so far, correct?
One
Two
Three
Or this. Which isn't released yet, but is a collection of the three.
There is also [this] (http://images.comiccollectorlive.com/covers/2d2/2d27af44-4b03-412e-a5d4-43df3eafac93.jpg) which is a very small (and rare) comic that was given out for free at some event or other I can't be bothered remembering. I'm pretty certain they're now only available through second hand purchase.
I just bought the physical versions on amazon, there seem to be large format and small format versions of some of them..
I'm probably the last person to give advice on how/where/how though, i know ziltch about comic books or graphic novels.
These are the links to ones i bought, of them was a collection of several of them:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595827390/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595825614/
I'm pretty sure you could probably track down digital versions through your favorite pirate outfit if you roll that way... (i honestly have no idea)
It's not a show but you can read the comics, comics, comics and comics .
Yup. Here are 'zon links for the books (you'll have to google for images of the free ones, both of which, IIRC, take place after the books below):

Just google it.
And yeah, there is a comic dealing with the in-between of Firefly and Serenity, one that is just like a stand alone episode and a few short ones. And one that deals with Books past.
I noticed your love for Firefly, so this what I suggest. somethingto helpwith thethe factit took a fandomto show the worldhow awesome the series is
There are comics that continue the story, though it's not an ongoing series, just the occasional one-shot or miniseries. Check out Serenity: Float Out and Serenity: Leaves on the Wind, which take place after Serenity, plus Serenity: Better Days and Serenity: Those Left Behind, which bridge the gap between Firefly and Serenity.
There's also Serenity: the Shepherd's Tale, which is the long-awaited backstory of Shepherd Book, but I recommend skipping it. It's a decent enough story on its own, but in the context of Firefly, it's full of plot holes big enough to drive a Mack truck through.
The full chronological order is The Shepherd's Tale - Firefly - Better Days - Those Left Behind - Serenity - Float Out - Leaves on the Wind.
