| Book Review: Firefly: Still Flying |
Firefly Still Flying
A Celebration of Joss Whedon’s Acclaimed TV Series
Paperback
Joss Whedon
Original stories by Ben Edlund, Jane Espenson, Brett Matthews, Jose Molina
Titan Books
Release date: May 25, 2010
Firefly is truly unique in the annals of television. Canceled after only a single season, Joss Whedon‘s science fiction-Western mash-up has enjoyed a cult following that rivals Star Trek and Doctor Who. Known as Browncoats (after the rebel force from the show), these true blue fans have kept the show’s spirit alive by passionately devouring books, comic books, and even a full-length motion picture sequel Serenity. Firefly: Still Flying, much like the series itself, is a mash-up of two different genres. It is at the same time a collection of short fiction and a fan guide. Titan Books assembled a crack team of former show writers to submit short fiction, including “What holds us Down” by Jane Espenson; “Fun with Dick and Jane” by Ben Edlund, “Crystal” by Brett Matthews; and “Take the Sky” by Jose Molina. Separating these stories is a collection of interviews, production notes, storyboards, prop design specs, and cast and crew histories.

| MP3 Deal: Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Bark At The Moon’ |
The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Ozzy Osbourne‘s Bark At the Moon for only $3.99.
This version of Bark At the Moon is the 2002 remaster, so it has some changes from the original recording, but if you don’t already own this album or aren’t familiar with it, this won’t matter to you — and for four bucks, I’d say it’s worth it to get these awesome songs. Ok, $4 typically buys you four songs, so here’s four tunes from the 10-song album that will make this purchase worth it: “Bark At The Moon,” “You’re No Different,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel,” “Waiting For Darkness” – bam! money well spent. But, take it from me, the whole album is great, trust me. The album, which was released in 1983, was Ozzy’s third studio effort and the first Ozzy record to feature lead guitarist Jake E. Lee. Lee had big shoes to fill at the time, as he was stepping in for guitar god Randy Rhoads, who had been killed the year before in a plane crash while on tour for Ozzy’s second album Diary Of A Madman. But seriously, folks, Jake E. Lee is an amazing guitarist and definitely shines on Bark At The Moon.

Fans of the Playstation 3 game Little Big Planet have been able to play as Solid Snake, Kratos, and Chun Li, but starting July 7th, players will be able to download costumes that will let them play as some of their favorite Marvel heroes and villains.
Marvel has announced that they will begin selling costume packs for the popular platform game over the Playstation Network. There will be four packs available with five costumes in each pack. In addition to the costumes, Marvel will also be releasing special super-hero themed levels to download for the game. For those who haven’t played Little Big Planet before, the game is your classic running and jumping platformer, but one of the biggest draws of the game is the ability to dress and customize the main character, known as Sack Boy. The game allows you to change the look of your Sack Boy and Sony has released a variety of downloadable content with costumes from other video games. The other big draw of the game is the ability to create and share your own levels with other players, essentially making this a game that you can never complete all the way.
