Two new Serenity reviews, one very favorable and the other “It’s not a second season of Firefly, and therefore it sucked.” Very mild spoilers.

Meanwhile, I’m irked because I had preordered Anansi Boys and the Serenity Visual Companion a few weeks ago, and they should have shipped yesterday. Amazon says (for reasons beyond my comprehension) that they won’t be shipped until September 7. I just emailed customer service to gripe about it. Why does Amazon list two seperate release dates for Anansi Boys on the same page? And if Anansi Boys indeed comes out September 20th, why will it take a week to be shipped? And why does Thud! show “Usually ships within 24 hours” under Availability, when it shouldn’t come out for another two weeks?
