I am such a fan of the series and the movie, which meant a mix of excitement and worry when I picked this up. Both were somewhat founded though the excitement definitely won :) The art is amazing and spot on, the dialogue captures each character just about perfectly. The story line seemed a bit bumpy but was true to Firefly. Overall I enjoyed it, though I wish it were longer. Looking forward to the next one!4.5 stars Introduction: Now, I will be honest here. Even though I have seen many of Joss Whedons works in the past, I did not know anything about the infamous cancelled TV series Firefly up until recently. What is even more surprising about this is that I had the movie Serenity for many years before I watched Firefly and I did not know that Serenity was a continuation of Firefly until I saw the movie again recently and realized that these were the same characters that I saw in Firefly! So,
Bridging the gap between the end of the TV series and the beginning of the movie, Those Left Behind is really very much like reading an episode of the show in comic book format. The art is pretty accurate as far as portraying the characters (one of my biggest pet peeves about tie in comics is when the characters on the page look nothing like the characters on the screen) and is overall nice to look at. The writing, especially in the dialog, is as solid as it ever was on the show. My one
You know, just once I want these to be a full sized graphic novel.

And I LIKE learning about the concept art, and concept history for the Whedonverse, BUT I am reading these for the stories.Maybe its unfair to downgrade the rating simply because I wanted more. I'm just disappointed, yes, this is a bridge between the end of the show and

I started the show, got interrupted and havent
Well, we all know what happened to Firefly.After one season! Seriously? Thank god for small mercies.This arc bridges the gap between the TV Show and movie.The story answers questions such as what happened to "Two by two, hands of blue" guys (Which is kind of anti-climatic) and why Shepherd Books left the ship. The story also features last days of Inara on the ship and a villain from season one! The comic does a good enough job capturing the characters and their extraordinary chemistry, but the
Another of my fangirl favorites. I LOVED Firefly and the movie that went with it, Serenity. So, of course Im predisposed to love these graphic novels, but unless you know the background story from the tv series and movie, you might have trouble following this story.
