The comics...yeah, comics are my crack, I love 'em. But the Serenity ones are extra special, and pretty much a "missing episode". Having seen the film, I'm loving seeing the way Joss and Brett Matthews (who wrote one of the eps, Heart of Gold) set up the transitions, as well as the extra series characters being thrown in and shaken up.
As for those vids...
Three I love here: http://www.alter-idem.com/?now=2&category=Firefly
(Being an original Dukes of Hazzard fan--speak not to me of the travesty of a film!--the "Good Ol Boys" vid is quite a treat. *g* "Mary" is a beautiful, bittersweet char study of Inara. And "Adiemus" is my absolute favorite Firefly vid--a study of the ship Serenity set to gloriously gorgeous music. The lyrics don't literally mean anything, yet the musical emotion and the images are matched so perfectly it takes my breath away. Oh--and the site has some pretty cool 'Scape vids too!)
Another excellent one here: http://www.heresluck.net/videos/index.html
(Thistledown Tears is the one...really cool modern folk song. And it always strikes me as a perfect lead in to the movie...not in a spoilery way, but in that the video seems to me to be about the calm before the storm, the gathering of strength before the fit really hits the shan. The key lyric is "The time to wrestle the angel is near...". I love that--and it's so true when you've seen Serenity!)
If like me you have a secret soft spot for the music of Bon Jovi, you'll enjoy the "Wanted Dead or Alive" Mal vid here: http://different-light.net/fanvids/fireflyvids/
Last but not least, a few here: http://www.manpire.com/videos.htm
(The two I love there are "Banditos"...just a fun punk song which fits the crew pretty well--and a rockin' guitar solo matched with galloping horses!...and "Magic", a heartachingly beautiful vid about Simon & River set to an extremely fitting Ben Folds Five song.)
