SERENITY FIREFLY CLASS 03-K64 “Leaves on the Wind”Ch.1“We can’t run forever.”“We’re not running.”“Well then this is the worst vacation I’ve ever been on.”
It's weird writing up comic books. It is like reviewing a chapter. Well actually that's exactly what this was. Anyway. I don't remember reading this, maybe I read some chapters but not others? Maybe some weren't all that memorable. The art is off. The writing doesn't exactly follow the end of Serenity, but it's close enough. Interesting enough though, and it's still Firefly. 3.5 of 5.
This is about the only comic full-stop that maintains the show's tone, action, and humor. This was the only one where I felt I was still in the world.
Perfect. A great story and a perfect continuation of the 'verse we all know a love.
It was nice to visit with the gang. However, although the characters looked great on the cover, I had to double-check to figure out who was who in the pages. River looked very wrong to me. The universe has been alerted by the actions of Mai’s crew. Everyone is out to find them; some to turn them in for a reward, some to recruit them. Hiding out is becoming a problem, with a lack of pay for food.
Very quick read, i think that if I am going to read graphic books like this, I am going to need to have a set of them to go through all at once. I found it a little frustrating to settle down to read and be all over in 10 minutes.The quality of the story is fine, I am not sure yet on how to review comics other than how well the story flowed, what the images did for me and if I felt anything for the characters.So with that said, I was happy with the artwork, easy to look at and not overpowering.
This is a great set-up for a longer story in the comic Serenity series. Whereas the shorter stories - though pretty cool in their own right - kept on balancing on the verge of milking the characters in small sidelines of minor importance, this volume seems to be a start of something new.Storywise, not much has been told, but a lot of promises were made as to were the series is heading.This is an exciting start.
Great story. All you'd expect Would make a good episode if the show came back.
Excellent book.
I'm desperate for anything Firefly so of course I thought this was wonderful! Bullet point time :) • I love that we finally get to see Mal and Inara together, it's only taken forever. • The dream sequence scene with Zoe and Wash broke my heart all over again; it was short but powerful. We already knew Zoe was pregnant from the last comic series, so it was nice to finally meet her and Wash's daughter. • I like how River emulates/channels Wash as she's flying Serenity. Not to mention seeing Wash's...
I want to start this review by saying how much Firefly has meant to me. Firefly was the third Joss Whedon show that I became obsessed with. When it reached it's untimely end, I was so sad. When we got our movie Serenity, I was ecstatic and loved every second of it, even the sad moments. When I heard the story was going to fly on through comics once more I was jumping up and down with excitement. I have realized over my time of reading comic books that I do not enjoy the introduction issue very m...
The little one shot story at the end was the best. The rest of it... it's hard to review some of these titles sometimes because the artwork by Jeanty is just so bad. You spend so much time trying to puzzle out which awful likeness is which character. Is it Mal? Is it Angel? Is it Spike? Is it Wash?
Very solid continuation of the series, both narratively and emotionally.
Before we get into the meat of the review, let's acknowledge what has to be said whenever a new piece of media is released for this franchise. A little over ten years ago one of television's greatest mistakes occured when Joss Whedon's sci-fi show Firefly was cancelled after only one season. The sheer fact that there is still a franchise to speak of is a testament to the world Joss created, but also to the cult fanbase that now follows every step it takes. And now there's a fresh addition to the...
The "Serenity: Leaves on the Wind" comic series takes place eight months after the events of the feature film "Serenity". I have been excited to read this series because viewers of "Firefly" can finally see all the exciting places Joss wanted to take the series. I thought this first issue was pretty good and functions as a good set-up for events to come. The feel of reading it, however, seems a little different to me than "Serenity: Those Left Behind", perhaps because while "Those Left Behind" w...
Taking place eight months after the movie, Leaves on the Wind starts off with several new subplots happening in the 'Verse. Zoe gives birth to her and Wash's daughter, Emma, while tearing out our hearts with the phrase "leaf on the wind" once more. Meanwhile, Alliance supporters are doing everything in their power to deny the truth about Miranda and the creation of the Reavers. Former Browncoats are teaming up to try and find Mal before the Alliance can. The icing on the cake is the return of a
Graphic novels/comics is never a medium I'm going to be comfortable reading but the temptation to find out what happens next to the crew of Serenity is too great. Looks like we're about eight months down the line from where Serenity the movie left off... and the characters are about where i expected them to be. Mal/Inara - we all knew it was coming but I can't help wishing we'd even able to see it play out on screen. I've always loved Simon/Kaylee and though there wasn't much of them in this edi...
I am unwilling to go thru marking all the issues and I do not understand why GR doesn't list the compilation version. so let's just take this review as for all them. it's both great to see what happens after Serenity and depressing because does this mean they've given up on a film sequel? it's also weird because a lot of lines are kind of. ..reworked lines or similar to lines they've already said in the show/film. which... make up new dialogue, guys. come on. but it does help keep consistency of...
This picks up right after Serenity. I really miss the show so it is nice to have this to see old characters again. I have missed everyone so much. It is interesting that the events that took place at the end of Serenity are now being spun to be a lie and once again, Mal and his team on are "on the run". I liked the set up for the rest of the comics to follow. I was also happy to see characters I did not think I would see again! I am excited for the next one. But can I just say, the title "Leave
So, I read this first issue twice ... fuck you Joss Zack Whedon, just ... fuck you. Why did we have to see Washburne's death all over again? You're such a jerk. *sniffle* I fuckin' love Jayne. I am glad he's back. He'll probably get the money AND back on the crew. I am glad the baby is fine ... but internal bleeding? That can't be good. The hospital trick isn't going to be easy to pull--especially with all these hunters on their tail. I love the political aspect of the story going on in the back...
