I can’t believe Firefly is back! Okay, I actually totally can believe it, but you know what I mean. I’ve read every graphic novel series that has come out and it never quite feels like enough. But then again, that’s usually the case when a show gets cancelled after one season (I always fall in love with the shows that don’t get renewed, I swear).
There are a few constants about this series, many of which lend to the personality that shines so brightly through in this series. One is that Firefly is basically always in need of repair and/or new parts. Two, this means they almost always need money. Three, Mal has a way of finding trouble, even when he sincerely isn’t trying. There are more, but those are the most common ones. They also lead to some very interesting plots.
This plot is no exception, naturally. I won’t go into detail about it, other than to say that it perfectly matched the tone of the other series before it. It is set sometime between the events in Firefly. It’s after the point where Inara has asked to leave, but before she’s been dropped off.

Sold from page 1, this comic keeps the spirit of the show, and promises to tell us more about how Mal and Zoë met!

And instantly we're back with Firefly.
A good setup, Mal haunted by the war and the snippyness of the crew are all here. A new world to learn about in the 'verse and secrets of the past to be found out.
Bring it on.

If you're anything like me, you loved the Firefly television series and cried when it was cancelled after one season. Fear not! Greg Pak and Boom! have brought it back to life.
The first issue transported me back to the Serenity, and took me on another adventure with Mal and the crew. They've landed themselves in hot water, but that's nothing new! I enjoy seeing how they get themselves out of endless bad situations.
Wash and Zoe are as adorable has ever! I laughed when Wash was playing with dinosaurs while his wife and friends were fighting for their lives. Everything about the scenario felt familiar, and it was definitely something Wash would do while he waited on the parts he needed for repairs. Jayne is still sarcastic and the one most likely to cause problems. I love that he always punches first and asks questions never. Inara and Kaylee, Simon and River, Book -- it was wonderful seeing everyone together again! I am so pumped for this series!
