It's a good book, as a collection of the comics; and I'm looking forward to book 2. But it wasn't sparkling. The art itself is good quality, and the humour was typical Firefly Serenity as I remember the TV shows. However, I found the pacing to be off and I failed to connect in places; the flow was...
Finally fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly are given some of the back history to character Shepherd Book. We learn what made the man who was so well train in arsenals and be a man of the cloth. The artwork is probably the best thing about this volume of Serenity. The background story was medio...
Beauty is a fairy tale in the Grimm style. Coddie, an ugly (was she really that ugly, I didn't think so) girl bemoans her life de-scaling fish and being pushed and bullied by pretty much everyone in the village where she lives. When she sheds an understanding tear on a toad the 'ugly' animal is t...
For some reason, this book is told in reverse order. At first, it makes you think Book was Alliance all along. Then you find out that before that, he was a Browncoat and infiltrated the Alliance and brought them their worst-ever defeat. Because of that, to me it felt like it negated the Firefly epis...
Excellent story well told, fills in all the blanks as promised. But I had to take off a star because the artist cannot draw faces. Half of the people here are featureless, and canon characters are only recognizable by clothes and context. This book, and Shepherd Book, deserved better.
I'm not a comics fan. A friend of mine is, and swears it's as deserving of being considered an art form as text or film. I remain unconvinced, but keep my prejudices in mind--if you are a lover of the form, you may like this more than I did. (Or perhaps less, if as a fan of graphic novels you have a...
This is infill stories, some before, during and after the series and film. I wouldn't recommend reading the last story without having seen the film, and honestly this is best if you know the backstory and the characters. It was an enjoyable read and I wouldn't mind owning a copy. The last panel b...
This short graphic novel chronicles the backstory of one of Firefly/Serenity fans' favorite characters -- Shepherd Book. The dialogue and story stayed true to Firefly/Serenity, and I appreciated finally getting some answers to those unanswered questions that the series didn't get a chance to reveal...
