There still are comics in production, with The Shepherd's Tale having just come out.
So there's hope.

"You mean Buffy in space?"
Oddly, this is how I got into Firefly. I worked with a number of people who were into Firefly. After seeing another trailer for Serenity which involved Summer Glau beating up people, I (semi-timidly because they seemed to be really into it) asked "So, is this like Buffy in Space?".
Showing themselves to be Browncoats, they did not take offense but insisted that I watch the DVD with the pilot. This got me to don the brown coat and buy the DVD set. I then got another of my friends to do that as well as watch Serenity in the theaters, partially to see it and partially to show support. Buying the DVD of Serenity was the last gasp at trying to make the studios see the light and continue the series.
But, sometimes, that just isn't enough. Sometimes you gotta hang up the guns and move on much like most people moved on after Calvin & Hobbes. At least, Firefly's episodes are out on DVD. Shows like Mortal Kombat: Konquest and Brimstone didn't even get that.

Seriously? The fans are just now moving on with their lives? And some people are still refusing to accept that the show isn't coming back? That's incredibly sad.
If you really, absolutely must have more space western, allow me to recommend Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Outlaw Star, the three shows that Whedon more or less admitted to ripping off when he made it. That's like three more seasons of Firefly! And if the fact that they're anime bothers you, you're not just a sad nerd, you're a sad, nerdy, hypocrite.
