Product Description God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.Taking this world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will. So that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen. -Reinhold Niebuhr --- Mug is crafted of microwave/dishwasher safe ceramic. Gift boxed. 16 oz.

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.
So, when and why and how did... April 10, 2006 T. Noever (Brisbane, Australia) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
...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 June 26, 2006 Kathryn Duthie 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Excellent graphic novel, does a great job filling in the time period between Firefly and Serenity
Great Firefly Story July 10, 2006 D. Brumback 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Excellent story taking place between the TV series and the movie. I only wish a regular series would be published.
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.
