Strictly for Firefly fans only. Lots more insights into Malcolm in this one. The tone and feel continue to be similar to the series though probably on the rougher side. However, its this similarity that also results in this not rising to become a stand alone entity. There is nothing to hook a new reader but its a must for followers who feel undone by the shortest but on of the best sci-fi series made.
I ended up reading these out of order because I've borrowed them from a friend who is in turn borrowing them from the library.I think I enjoyed this one more than [b:The Shepherd's Tale 8596384 The Shepherd's Tale (Serenity, #3) Zack Whedon http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348374308s/8596384.jpg 13466115]. The art was better, and there was no jumping around (The jumping around wouldn't have been so bad in a longer story though).This story also felt too short. And it seems like it left off on a cliffhanger. I'll have to check out [b:Better Days 3186100 Better Days (Serenity, #2) Joss Whedon http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347587713s/3186100.jpg 21764896] and see if it comes to a better conclusion. It's worth reading at least once if you like the show and you can get it cheap/borrow it from the library.
Maybe my expectations were too high? This definitely didn't match the quality of Firefly the show, and I feel like the comics medium should have eliminated a lot of the barriers the show faced (production cost, network execs). Sigh.
Too quick!!! Waaaaaahhhhh!!!!!
Taking place right after the show ended I guess this pretty much sums up the events that would happen before Serenity. It only makes me miss Wash more :(
I've been meaning to read this forever and finding a copy at the used store was like Christmas. I just love this group of people. I love how many lines Jayne gets and how few Inara gets. I love the artwork which is spot on. I love my Captain. It's just so much fun to hang out with the crew again.
