The essence of this comic was good but the technical jargon flew over my head the first time. I slightly understood it the second time around.Also it bugs me that these colleagues they managed to herd together to pay tribute to Wash don't seem really close to him in the first place. If from a viewpoint of trying to highlight Wash's good values/excellent piloting skills then they've succeeded, but I think the Firefly crew are the ones in a better position to comment on Wash's traits.
All three stars are for the final page.
A nice little reminiscence about Wash. The framing story could have been a little clearer. The art could have been a little bit better. It could have been just a little clearer who those old buddies of Wash were. It was still sweet and nice.
So this was a huge disappointment. I bought this as soon as I heard about it (last week; hai, I'm late!) because I love Wash so much and was willing to pay collector prices for 15 more minutes. Patton Oswalt has a reputation for being very funny (though I'm not overly familiar with his work), so it seemed like a sure thing. Yet this book isn't funny at all. Not even a little bit. I read it twice with a frown of consternation. No smiles, no chuckles, no "that's so Wash". Nothing. It's the blandes...
I think I'm not actually a Firefly / Serenity fan
I wasn't alone in the movie theatre when I cried out during Serenity. Earlier, we were shocked with Book, and then Wash. So suddenly. When I saw The Shepard's Tale on the shelf, I expected closure and a tribute to an incredible character. I was thoroughly disappointed and sadly, it made me hesitant to read this...I love this book. It is the honourable tribute that I had expected for Book. I loved that this didn't involve the Serenity crew at all and instead gave us tales of Wash from old friends...
Hoben Washburn was definitely one of my favorite characters and I miss him. If there were to be another movie I would not get to hear crazy sayings or enjoy his dinosaur fights. This was a short but nice tribute to a character that was very well liked. I could see Wash in each of those situations and know that he would act just that way. If you liked this character than you will enjoy this little tribute.
I feel like this might have worked as an episode, but it doesn't as a comic. I can't tell the three main characters apart and that makes it difficult to follow or care about their interactions or the stories they're telling. And where/why the hell did Zoe come from at the end??
Great little 'remember when'. That end thoGraphics seems to be a bit grungier/darker compared to the first set of comix done by Will Conrad, but interesting nontheless
Liked it! Not as much as the movie, but still good! Wash is a goof.
I'm not a big comic fan but I actually liked this! I decided to read some Serenity comic because I love Firefly/Serenity and I wanted to give it a try. This one is a bit emotional and interested, we see more about Wash's past and and memories from his past friends. Very interested and small reading.
Exactly what to drink at Wash's wake.
It seems that a new crew is being put together consisting of former associates of Wash. Three of them each tell how they first came to know Wash. His talent for flying and loyalty to his friends are the main themes. The artwork is gorgeous, particularly the cover. The story is interesting, particularly the last page. Any fan of Serenity/Firefly should add this volume to their collection.
I give this two stars only for the last page. I didn't find the story at all compelling or interesting but the reveal of the last page was worth the few minutes it took to read.
A Wash one shot! I don't know what more you could ask for here, I loved it.
So this is a Wash spotlight issue... that takes places after the movie. Yeah...
2.5. Not that Wash doesn't deserve a short volume about him, but touching/warming as parts of this was, it still feels like this entire oneshot exists solely for that ending reveal. Which wasn't exactly well executed. WASH DESERVES BETTER. :(
Like a leaf on the wind. felt like i was reading an episode or season-ending cliffhanger. makes me want to go back and watch the series again
2 stars for the actual story + 1 star for the feelsI'm not generally a picky person when it comes to books so I'm starting to feel weird rating all these short Serenity stories fairly poorly. If you haven't seen the movie Serenity, please just stop reading now because it'll spoil the shit out of everything. SPOILERS!Okay, so despite the fact that the story is passable at best it still made me cry at the end because: Damn you Joss Whedon! So yeah, Float Out is three old friends of Wash rememberi
