Product Description: Joss Whedon, the pop-culture mastermind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, bridged the gap between his cult-hit Firefly TV series and his Serenity motion picture with this three-issue miniseries. Penned by Whedon and Brett Matthews, a Firefly show writer, the ragtag crew takes on a scavenger mission with the promise of a big payoff. Only too late do they realize the gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager to remake their acquaintance... with the help of operatives wearing bright blue gloves. This new oversized hardcover has a new cover by Adam Hughes and shows off the work of penciller Will Conrad and colorist Laura Martin, and the array of pinups by phenomenal guest artists including: John Cassaday, Jo Chen, Joe Quesada, Sean Phillips, Adam Hughes, JG Jones, Brian Hitch, Josh Middleton, Leinil Yu and Tim Bradstreet
Also includes more than a dozen new pages with a behind-the-scenes section featuring concept and production art from the film, by Josh Middleton & Leinil Yu and a pre-production memo to the film by Whedon called A Brief History of the Universe, Circa 2516 A.D.
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?
