The script says clearly that what kills Wash was a harpoon fired from a Reaver ship. But I didn't see the ship.
You're right about the Death Scene. Also, the attack on Book's camp was just part of the Operative killing everybody who'd ever helped Mal, which it seems unlikely to be doable in such a short time.
I've seen more Buffy than you have, I've seen less Frazetta than you have, and in between that being a Frazetta pose and being a River pose, it was a Buffy pose. So that's what I thought of first.
I figure some months passed between the series and the film. I did read the Dark Horse comic and you're right, it's not very good. The number of back-references to the series worried me: this is how cult shows eat themselves alive. But at least it explained for the movie viewer why Book had left the ship (not that an explanation was really needed).
The other Whedonverse comic I've read, Fray, is very good, though. It's about a future Slayer.
