6/13/2023 0 Comments Serenity leaf on the wind comic![]() ![]() Of course, some things never change, and Mal & Co are trying to law low and keep off the radar, forsaking jobs and money in the doing so, while the Alliance is looking for them, claiming Miranda was a hoax.Ī group of New Resistance is also looking for them, wanting to install Mal as a leader to the cause - because that'll go over well. Picking up several months after the events of Serenity, we find the crew somewhat changed in circumstances. I'm not sure if there are more plans in the future (that cliff at the end leads me to think and hope that there will be) but if there aren't I will probably cry myself to sleep for years. But the look on Emma's face later on almost makes up for it. I will say, having to see Wash's death drawn on page through Zoe's eyes was heartbreaking. The obvious fact that Mal is still sporting his brown coat, along with Bea showing up in hers, proving that this is still a lifestyle and a longing for the world in more than just our beloved characters once again. Things like Wash's dinosaurs staying on the dashboard of the controls. Add in the fact that Mal and Inara are getting it on while Kaylee and Simon are also getting it on and BAM! My life is almost complete (without Wash something is always lacking for me). Their friendship and love and respect for one another is so incredibly beautiful in this volume that I got a little teary at certain spots. The good news is that I never doubted whether or not Mal would look after her in the best of ways. After Zoe lost Wash the world was devastated. What with mishaps and capture surrounding Zoe, insight into what would have happened to River if she hadn't been saved from the institute, a New Resistance on the rise, and Jayne of course jumping back on board Serenity, this book has it made. After the disappointing first two volumes, Shepherd's Tale and Leaves on the Wind will safely keep me on the lookout for more. ![]() This story line is so well put together, fits in so well with the 'Verse, has pinned the characters perfectly, and reads like a bonus episode after the movie. This isn't just a volume that was produced for the sake of continuing on a popular franchise and rake in the cash (thought that's probably a big upside). ***Like always, if you have not watched the TV show, and ESPECIALLY the movie Serenity, there will be spoilers. This was such a superb continuation after Serenity that I am in absolute awe. ![]() plus I'm sure Barnes & Noble would appreciate me actually buying their merchandise, instead of sitting on their floor for an hour and consuming it for free. 1-3 are looking lonely up there on my bookshelf. I really need to get myself a copy, though. ACTUAL sex, not that imaginary crap from one of the earlier comics. And there just wasn't time for that sort of thing in these six issues.īut again, I can't really complain when this book gives me things like Baby Emma:Īnd Mal/Inara sex. and for god's sake, some resolution on the confrontation between him and Zoe. For example, with The Operative, I would have liked some meaty dialogue scenes, maybe more interactions with him and the other characters. I wanted it to take it's time, get some good character work in. My other main complaint was that I liked what story was there, it just felt too rushed. But also, I squeed when I saw Jayne was wearing his hat? Basically I'm a big fat hypocrite. Not that I don't love a good fanservice every once in a while, but I also like to feel like the world the characters inhabit is authentic, and fanservice usually messes with that. But on the other hand, some of it felt like blatant fanservice. ![]() Part of me also ate up every character or reference that popped up again from the series or the movie, particularly The Operative. Georges Jeanty's art was gorgeous and really captured the characters in some panels, and in others they just looked. And as it is, it was a really, really fun visit back to the 'verse, but it wasn't perfect. Let's get one thing straight: if I were only going off my love of Firefly and these characters, this would just straight up get five stars. ![]()
