5 out of 5 stars A useful bridge   February 2, 2006
K. Watson (Seattle, WA USA)
32 out of 33 found this review helpful

This graphic novel serves as a useful bridge between the final episode of "Firefly" and the film "Serenity." As a Browncoat, I've found it especially useful for showing new fans of the series because it answers the questions that they'd have from the last episode and the film (which starts everyone off on a different note than they were left in the show). For instance: "When and why did Book leave the ship?" This book isn't going to take the place of the television show for the fans that want to see our Big Damn Heroes played by the actors themselves, but it serves as the final episode that they were never able to make.


5 out of 5 stars So, when and why and how did...   April 10, 2006

...some stuff happen between the end of Firefly and the beginning of Serenity?

It's like one of those gaps in your jaw, when a tooth has broken off or a major filling has fallen out. Your tongue keeps poking with progressively growing obsession and habit, and when the dentist (I have a very friendly sone, so no dentist-jokes here!) finally fills the gap it's a great relief. Something becomes complete. Of course, it's artificial and not the real thing, but it's better than that horrible feeling of a void, of incompleteness.

This book fufills that need. I'd rather have had a load of Firefly episodes, but we can't have those, right? So, here's a filler, and as fillers go it does the job admirably. Thanks to Joss for giving us that. You're even nicer than my dentist.

Excellent story taking place between the TV series and the movie. I only wish a regular series would be published.


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Comic Connects Firefly and Serenity   July 8, 2007
Gerrit H. Dalman (Oklahoma)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Even if you're not a comic lover, you should check out this trade paperback. From the multiple covers to the action-filled pages the art is absolutely gorgeous and the writing - courtesy of Joss Whedon himself - is so true to the show tat you can practically hear the actors voices.

Best of all, this short arc fills in much of the gap between the end of Firefly and the beginning of Serenity. Including why Shepard Book left the ship and why the blue-handed suits were replaced by the operative.
