If you haven't seen Firefly yet, or the spin-off feature film Serenity, then be warned that I'm going to get spoilery.
If there's one thing Browncoats can all agree on, it's that none of us liked it when Wash (played by Alan Tudyk) died. I think a lot of fans' problems with Wash's send-off in the movie Serenity had to do with how quickly he was written out while the crew moved on to the next bit of action. Sure, no one wanted to see him go, but it might've been nice if writer/director Joss Whedon would've slowed down for a moment and let the characters (and fans) say goodbye.
That goodbye is coming, and from a surprise celebrity Browncoat -- actor/comedian Patton Oswalt. Oswalt is writing the one-shot comic Serenity: Float-Out for Dark Horse, set for release on June 2. In the comic, Wash's old friends, from the days before he piloted Serenity, gather together to tell stories about their dearly departed friend. Oswalt hopes to give the fans some closure, while taking a deeper look at one of his favorite characters.

I had no problem with his abrupt death, but I'll gladly take another Serenity comic.

"it might've been nice if writer/director Joss Whedon would've slowed down for a moment and let the characters (and fans) say goodbye."
Well, there was the funeral scene nearthe end of the movie. If that's not a moment to say goodbye, what is?
