Serenity is a manga-influenced comic series created by Realbuzz Studios and published by Barbour Publishing in 2005 and 2006. It incorporates strong Christian morals, such as forgiveness, responsibility, and unconditional love as it follows title character Serenity Harper through her experiences with a local prayer group. The series, along with the phrase "Oops, can't show that in a Christian manga!" (which comes from a censor box found in the comic itself), has become a minor meme on 4chan.
The soundtrack to the 2005 motion picture Serenity was released on September 27, 2005. The film's score was composed by David Newman, and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony under Newman's direction. According to director Joss Whedon's sleeve notes for the album, Newman was recommended by Universal's music executives when he requested a musician capable of "everything."
