This week, iFanboy reaches deep into the vault to pull out three books not published by either of the two big companies.

First up is Serenity: Better Days from Dark Horse Comics. Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews continue the adventures of the characters from the dearly departed television series Firefly as they pull of a heist that might be too big even for them.

Next is Maintenance, from Oni Press. What happens when you're the general maintenance guys at a corporation that caters to supervillains? There are probably a lot of third person monogoues, explosions, and shark men.

Finally, via Slave Labor Graphics there is Gordon Yamamoto and the King of the Geeks from award-winning comic book creator Gene Yang. The time honored tale of the geek and the bully who terrorizes him is turned on its head by sinus-cavity dwelling aliens, animal crackers come to life, and magic bakers. It's mind-benidng stuff.
