After the movie, fans of Firefly wanted to find out what happened next and the comics were declared canon, so that seemed like a good bet. Yet, Serenity/Firefly comics had given us two mini-series set between the TV show and the movie and a graphic novel providing backstory on the Shepherd and a few free comic book day one-shots all (except for one one-shot) set before the movie.However, with this book, we finally catch up to the crew of Serenity, as we get two six-issue miniseries and a one-sho...

This collection of stories in graphic novel form is set after the movie Serenity. There are three parts; Leaves on the Wind, The Warrior and the Wind, and No Power in the Verse.First, a word about the art. The comic stylings are OK to rather good and because of traditional clothes, you can identify the characters pretty easily. The covers, on the other hand range from very good to spectacular. The colors and imagery are apt and almost more emotional than some parts of the stories. Leaves on the

There is not enough western space opera in this world. It is an odd mash-up, but it works so well. Firefly, and by extension the movie Serenity caused a cultural sensation and one of the most gigantic disappointments in nerdom. After one season, Firefly was summarily canceled and the nerd community at large gasped their shock. Firefly, though only one season and excellent movie, has lived on in the hearts of millions of fans the world over.This is why this book was so much fun for a die-hard Fir...

Really enjoyed diving back into this world. It's great to get some continuation of the characters from Firefly and Serenity. This book dives into that more than the first as Legacy Book 1 was set before, during and after the tv show, and movie. Legacy 2 was all new content.Any fan should pick this up for sure. If you know nothing about this universe this book would be a challenge for sure as it doesn't really stand on it's own.Hoping a 3rd edition is on it's way as this book ends on a bit of a "...

I still miss the Firefly Verse, and this was a great visit. I particularly enjoyed River's short story about Wash and Zoe. The dialogue is on point and it is easy to hear the character's voices as you read. The art is good.

Action packed and leaves the reader wanting more.

Copying from my review about Book One... It all applies again, with the exception of a few stories that had a different drawing style which broke the magic for me, but still conveyed a compelling adventure arc.I have obviously been obsessed with the franchise ever since my cousin introduced me to it. I was reluctant to watch any other episode after the first... But when I picked it up again, oh my, it went quickly. Rather early I realised that there was only one season of Firefly, so I had to fi...

This is basically what I wanted: the continuation of Firefly! Revisiting the old cast and seeing them interact with new characters in an expanded universe... the sometimes unflattering drawing style aside.

It's important to know that these comics are meant for fans who have seen both the entire Firefly series and the movie Serenity. If you haven't, STOP NOW. Don't read this book. At best, it will be okay mixed with mild confusion. More likely, it won't make any sense at all.If you are a fan though, this is a solid collection that is exciting, enjoyable, and, at times, incredibly moving.Leaves on the Wind5 stars This is magnificent follow-up to Serenity that picks up right after the end and takes y...

Legacy Edition Book Two takes place after the movie Serenity. I won't add any spoilers other than to say that if you haven't watched Firefly (t.v. series) and Serenity (subsequent movie) you would have absolutely no idea what was going on, so don't just pick up this book and start reading it if you are not already familiar with the background. That said, the plot is terrific and the dialogue and characters' behavior are true to the show. On the downside, although I'm not super-familiar with how

This collection is decidedly improved from the first. Here, we get a much larger arc about the Alliance and the program that created River. It’s cohesive and enjoyable, although it hardly ends - just barely gets started, really.The first several chapter arc is Leaves in the Wind. River really shines here, and so do some old baddies come back to try to mess with Mal and his.Then comes a heartbreakingly adorable comic called The Warrior and The Wind. It was my favorite in this whole book. River te...

Where the purpose of the first Legacy Book was to provide some closure to the show and give reasoning behind characters' actions, taking place between the end of Firefly and the Serenity movie, the second Legacy Book moves us forward a little, taking place after Serenity. That's the one big difference, imo. Otherwise, this volume is yet another great continuation of a series that was cut way too short. I didn't love the illustrations in this one as much as the ones in Those Left Behind and Bette...

Another fun collection of stories, this one all focusing on the crew post-Serenity. The first story, "Leaves on the Wind," is by far the best; I really liked it's development of Zoe and River, in particular. The other long story opened up the prospect of the Serenity crew leading a new war against the alliance, and I'm not on board for that at all--the Captain Mal we know and love never really fit as a soldier, and if they seriously moved in that direction, it would involve a significant change

This is probably the stronger of the two collections (though I enjoyed both), in that it felt less like connective tissue between season 1 and the movie, and more like if the show had continued beyond the movie.-"Leaves on the Wind" is the best story in either collection, in terms of what could have been an awesome episode of television. I don't want to spoil it for you.-"The Warrior and the Wind" is essentially River telling a bedtime story to Zoe's baby. This was my favourite story overall, an...

3.3 good enough.

I consider this a step up from book one. There is a deeper dive into the lore and consequences of a post-serenity world so fans of the show will be pleased. All the issues I had with book one - volumes too short, conflicts too surface-deep - were addressed and then some. The volumes are longer, the tension is rich. It is all great.Not being a comic book connoisseur, I can't offer much nuance on all things visual. I will say that I preferred some of the artistic styles in book one.The only reason...

Eh. Two overly long rescue arcs split evenly by a charming intermission--Storytime with River!--that reaches the high water mark for this volume.Artwork for the arcs didn't do it for me; the heads seemed too big and the faces maybe nailed the likenesses of the Firefly cast half the time, with the remainder of the time spent in the uncanny valley. On the other hand, River's bedtime story to Emma, "The Warrior and the Wind", has a wonderful comic strip style.More so than its predecessor, Legacy Ed...

Unlike the first collection of Firefly titles, this book really tries to move the story of Serenity and its passengers forward. Yes that means several of the main characters of the series are absent (aside from memories), but it also means that new characters are introduces. While neither Bea nor Iris really make themselves distinctive, I appreciate that the series use them more than once, and let much of the stories revolve around them. There's still a weakness in that there are too many sides

A great follow-up to the Serenity movie. I loved the "Leaves on the Wind" Saga. I was a little less impressed with the "No Power In the Verse" section just because it seemed to move away from some of the central characters known tendencies. I'm not quite sure they earned the changes in motivation that they gave Mal. And Zoe turned on a dime near the end, which felt a little odd, but understandable.You get to see a lot of people that you might have missed. The Operative makes a solid appearance a...

Overall I'd say volume two is slightly better than volume one, possibly because the whole thing is comprised of fewer storylines that fit together chronologically. Volume two finally gives us a continuation of what happens after Serenity, some new characters, plus a touch more backstory on Inara. The art was mostly very good though the likenesses did slip at times and some panels were overly sketchy. I have a few nitpicky little issues with the stories, but nothing that would keep me from recomm...
