Joss Whedon is developing a series of books based in the Firefly 'Verse

Joss Whedon has never been shy about providing his rabid fan base with more material set in his quippy, action-filled universes: Buffy, Angel, and especially his single-season space Western darling, Firefly, have all received their fair share of comic books, board games, and other supplementary materials over the years, expanding their scope well past their original TV runs. Now, Whedon is about to get explicitly literary with these expansions, announcing that he’s developing a series of novels based on Malcolm Reynolds and his aimin’-to-be-misbehavin’ crew.
