Is the comic any good?

I usually find in comics based on TV/movies aren't so good: the tend to just rehash stuff from the source material, and the artists spend too much time trying to make the drawings look like the actors and not enough actually doing good sequential art. (see Ashes to Ashes and/or 24: One Shot for examples/proof)

No idea, going from secondhand reports.

The comic is good. Good art, and the story feels like Firefly. It's only a limited 3 issue series anyway. I liked it.

Do they have a collected tradeback edition of it by any chance? I'm interested to say the least.

Too soon, I think. Wait awhile. They'll probably bring out a TPB with like, a sketchbook or 'special intro' or something.
