Product Description: Penned by Whedon and Brett Matthews, who wrote several episodes of Firefly as well as Dark Horse's final Angel comics series and the animated Chronicles of Riddick feature "Dark Fury," Serenity follows a ship full of mercenaries, fugitives and one law-abiding prostitute in their pursuit for fast cash and a little peace along the fringes of space. The ragtag crew of Serenity take on a scavanger mission with the hopes of earning enough dough to disappear for a while. Only too late do they realize the whole gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager remake their aquanitance with the help of some covert-operatives known only as the Blue Gloves. Artist Will Conrad (Marvel's Elektra and Witches) and colorist Laura Martin (Astonishing X-Men and The Ultimates) paint a rough and wild world of adventure across a strange and dangerous universe, in this not-to-be-missed tale straight from the brain of pop-culture mastermind Joss Whedon!
I never got my book My book was shipped to my old address and it has yet to be sent to me. Neither Amazon or the apartment where the book was shipped will help. I was also told I cannot get my money back. I will buy this again but from another source.
Firefly hasn't made a sucessful comic book transition yet. Its is frustrating that Angle and Buffy have made such successful jumps to world of comics while the Firefly crew just flounders. I have found these comics convoluted and paced to quickly. While the writer does seem to understand the characters he doesn't take any anytime to explore their motivations or relationships. Firefly was always about the characters and these comics just felt like a generic slap dash action story.
Greatly Enjoyed It. I like that Joss decided to keep the story going in comic format. I can't wait to get the others. I thought it was too small, but that can't really be helped. You have to remember that this takes place after the show, but before the film. I liked how well the artwork represented the characters. It was definitely worth the money.
Good but short Like the title says, really good comic, but too short for the price. I don't think I would have bought this if I had known how short the story would be. I don't even mean pages, but just it wasn't as deep as a typical episode.
Where did he come up with all of this? Joss repeatedly outdoes himself at every turn. Will Dollhouse be as spectacular as Firefly and Serenity?
