Joss Whedon returns to the world of his blockbuster film Serenity-and his 2005 bestselling miniseries Those Left Behind - with the three-issue comics series Better Days. Joss Better Days revisits everyone's favorite space cowboys in this thrilling, action-packed adventure, with Mal and his crew on a heist that promises a big payoff. What's surprising is that this heist just might make good on that promise. Whedon reunites with Brett Matthews and Will Conrad, his collaborators on the best-selling 2005 series Those Left Behind. Serenity: Better Days #1 with the Will Conrad's wrap-around cover art they used for their special DH 100 version, only this will display Will's pencils sketch instead. 32 pages, all the stuff from the first one, but with a cardstock cover for extra specialness.
This is an EXCELLENT, VERY, HIGH GRADE, FLAT, UNREAD copy from a Storage Overstock!
Please note: The picture showing the wrap-around cover is just a quick digital photo overlay. I DID NOT OPEN THE BOOK AND LAY IT OUT FLAT to get that picture!  That goes for all my Wrap-Around Cover pictures.
I bought huge overstock lot of Dark Horse items from a Portland Area Storage Overstock sale.  I live in the Portland area and Dark Horse is locate in the Portland Area, so it makes sense.  These items were never in a store and are in Amazing Unhandled Condition!

Firefly / Serenity Fan, you can't go wrong with this Sweet GEM!
Yes, I can grade comics and I know that 'Awesome', 'Nice' and 'Excellent' aren't official CGC / Comic Grading Terms.  I have used them on purpose because grading is subjective and I don't want to have email debates about the exact definition of NM vs NM+ or 9.4 vs 9.6.
All our items ship from a Smoke Free and Pet Free location, so there are no ‘Smelly’ surprises waiting inside the package.
PLEASE NOTE:
BEST OFFERS PRICES
DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING
, even if you add a comment that says 'my offer includes shipping' . . . IT DOESN'T.  eBay's logic is not sophisticated enough to deal with this, so please be sure to factor in shipping separately from your offer. If you do put in any condition text into your best offer, eBay's Auto-Accept feature is blocked for your offer.  Why is that important?  I had somebody put in a Best Offer and added the condition "Thank You", which was nice, but it kept their offer from being auto-accepted.  Later that night, before I saw the offer, somebody else bought the item at full price.  Good For Me . . . Not good for the 1st buyer.
Check out my Feedback and you can see that I aim to please!
Did I mention Satisfaction Guaranteed!?

COMIC PACKAGING:
All comics are Bagged & Boarded, then wrapped it packing paper and finally sandwiched between too pieces of cardboard.  I use enough tape to keep the comics safe, but not so much tape that you have to cut the comics from a tape entombment!  In other words, I wrap and ship the comics the way I would like my comics to be wrapped and shipped.  I cannot control the Post Office, but unless the package is run over or dropped from the Empire State Building, it will arrive in the same condition you bought it in.
NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING!
The fallacy of ‘Free Shipping’, according to ImaPaqRat:
If the seller provides ‘Free Shipping’ it means they have already factored in the full cost of shipping into their pricing. If you happen to buy 10 items from that seller, you are paying full shipping on 10 items even though they may ship them all in one box. I on the other hand post the shipping cost and if a buyer buys more than 1 item, I can provide them with a consolidated shipping discount. If you win more than 1 item from me, please contact me, before you pay so I can send you a consolidated invoice.
CONSOLIDATED SHIPPING:
I do offer consolidated shipping whenever possible, but my 1st priority is to ensure your items are received safely.
If you are buying more than 1 item, please contact me when you are done so I may send you a consolidated invoice.  PLEASE DO NOT PAY THEN ASK ME TO CONSOLIDATE THE SHIPPING!
To take advantage of consolidated handling fees you must make a single payment, within 7 days of the first auctions end date.
NO FREE UPGRADES:
If unsatisfied returns are welcome with 14 days for delivery, BUT the item return MUST BE THE SAME ITEM SHIPPED!  I have had a few people decide they were unhappy with their purchase and instead of getting a my NM comic back, I got a different, lower graded one.
Yes, I can tell the difference between copies if a lower grade is returned.
SMOKE FREE / PET FREE!:
Your comic(s) ship from and have been in a Smoke Free / Pet Free Home Office for years.  So no smelly surprises and no dander flying around when you open up your package!
FEEDBACK POLICY:
We do provide honest feedback for all transactions, but only after feedback has been left for us first.  Sorry but we have had a few erroneous negative feedbacks, after we had already left our positive feedback. If you have any problems with your purchase(s), please contact us, via eBay Messages, before leaving feedback. We will do everything we can to correct any misunderstandings.
