HOOBAH!

Shiny, shiny cover.

Shiny.

Willing reviewer, right here.

Right purty, it is.

Wow, that's a gorgeous cover. Let me know if you have anything pluggable about it and I'll forward it to my DarkWorlds editor. Hopefully, if DW is still running by then (it might shut down, which saddens me to no end), I can do a review as well for ya.

Very Shiny!!!

But where's the gun???

Ya mean they left off Vera?!?!
_oy_ From: [info]_oy_ Date: July 22nd, 2005 06:34 pm (UTC) (Link)
There was a gun that River was holding in the first(?) movie poster design. I don't *think* it was Vera (but that would have been cool).

Keith said it would be on the book cover design.

The gun is gone

The MPAA made them remove the gun from the final movie poster (somthing about underage character holding a gun - silly if you ask me). So it looks like they are using the same artwork for the book. I liked it better with the gun. Oh well.

Which means that the luck bastard that won the Joss-signed poster in our charity raffle is basically holding on to the Serenity version of the "Revenge of the Jedi" poster. Niiice!
_oy_ From: [info]_oy_ Date: July 22nd, 2005 11:44 pm (UTC) (Link)
Very Nice! Some may say Shiny!! ;~)
dancebymyself From: [info]dancebymyself Date: July 22nd, 2005 06:19 pm (UTC) (Link)
Despite what other people think, I adore that poster/cover. River just looks SO bad ass.

But yeah... where's the gun?
yendi From: [info]yendi Date: July 22nd, 2005 06:30 pm (UTC) (Link)
Very shiny!

Not that I'd ever judge a book by its cover, but I think it's safe to say most of us were anticipating this way before we had any clue what the outside would look like. :-)

That cover tells me that you aim to misbehave...

*drools*

Yeah, I'm definitely running out and buying this book the *second* it hits the shelves. ;)
booraven22 From: [info]booraven22 Date: July 22nd, 2005 07:22 pm (UTC) (Link)
SHINY!!!

**Packs up juice box to camp out at the local Borders**

Nicely done, Keith!
kradical From: [info]kradical Date: July 23rd, 2005 09:05 pm (UTC) (Link)
Much as I'd love to take credit, I had precisely nothing to do with the cover. *chuckle*
booraven22 From: [info]booraven22 Date: July 24th, 2005 02:05 pm (UTC) (Link)
Oh I knew that. :)

Just get a little surge of WooT! when I get to see one of my friends get another cover with their name on it!

(Can't wait to read the damn thing! Skiffy reshowing the series has just whet my appetitie something fierce!)
scarlettina From: [info]scarlettina Date: July 22nd, 2005 07:58 pm (UTC) (Link)
Excellent, Keith! Woohoo!
kessiebabe From: [info]kessiebabe Date: July 22nd, 2005 08:25 pm (UTC) (Link)
Shiny cover! ;)

Btw posted a link to whedonesque ... hope thats okay !
kradical From: [info]kradical Date: July 23rd, 2005 09:07 pm (UTC) (Link)
Well, aside from the fact that it mostly only prompted bitching about the poster. *sigh* Thanks, though!
atimson From: [info]atimson Date: July 22nd, 2005 08:44 pm (UTC) (Link)
Shiny indeed. :)

Does it have a street date, or is it just a general September novel?
_oy_ From: [info]_oy_ Date: July 22nd, 2005 10:30 pm (UTC) (Link)
I remember Keith having some issues regarding street dates. ;~)
aseop_ From: [info]aseop_ Date: July 22nd, 2005 08:56 pm (UTC) (Link)

Shiny cover!

Finally amazon.com can get rid of that stupid (who is that 8th character) promo shot they have been using as a placeholder artwork for your book.

Personally I would have preffered a more standard SF cover with the ship, and the crew and space (like the Firefly DVD set cover). But this is pretty cool.
marialima From: [info]marialima Date: July 22nd, 2005 09:11 pm (UTC) (Link)
oh yay with the utterly shiny!!!

Gorgeous cover.

BTW - will jump on the MG bandwagon with you, too. :) My cousins do rock!

Oh Hell Yes, that's sweet. I like it without the gun, and can't wait to read your novelization, Krad, especially after seeing the sneak of the film!
waywardbound From: [info]waywardbound Date: July 22nd, 2005 11:56 pm (UTC) (Link)
I love how Zoe seems to be glaring at Jayne at the bottom. :)

It just seems a little odd that the title isn't very prominent. I would have expected it to be bigger, since there's so much extra black space at the bottom.

I can't wait to read it! It's actually above Harry Potter on my must-read-now list!!
kefiraahava From: [info]kefiraahava Date: July 23rd, 2005 12:07 am (UTC) (Link)
Very pretty! Congratulations!
thehey From: [info]thehey Date: July 23rd, 2005 12:46 am (UTC) (Link)
Very nice!!

The release of the book would a good time for a drive-by book signing!! :-)

Too bad you didn't get to do one Borders last weekend!!!!
From: [info]tygie_bard Date: July 23rd, 2005 01:37 am (UTC) (Link)
I do so love that picture. Real glad I got it on pre-order from Amazon.
Thanks for sharing.

Much of the shiny.

And you know, I'd say that with a novelization by KRAD of a movie by Joss, we CAN judge the book by its cover and call it awesome.
From: (Anonymous) Date: July 23rd, 2005 06:13 am (UTC) (Link)
OOOH pretty shiny Krad/Keith!
Much luv

I love it! And I'm *SO* glad they kept the tag line, that's great.

Oh man, River looks like she's going to kill me.
