"Firefly fans, it’s time to celebrate. There’s yet another graphic novel out there for us to dive into. I know it isn’t quite the same as another season, but we’ll take what we can get, right? Anything to keep Joss Whedon’s creation alive. Firefly: The Sting is the latest original graphic novel to come out in the world of Firefly. But this time around? The focus is on the ladies of the crew. That’s right: Kaylee, Zoe, Inara, and River are back. And they’re joined by Saffron. So you just know that nothing is going to go quite as planned, thanks to her backstabbing ways.

The Sting takes place before the events of the movie, fitting neatly somewhere before the crew went off in their own directions. And that means that there is still a whole lot of personality and sass onboard the ship.

In this little misadventure, once again, we find Saffron approaching the crew with an idea for a heist (which you just know she’ll backstab them for in the end). But this time around she’s only approaching the ladies of the ship. That may raise some questions, but since it gives us a chance to see our favorite characters working together, we’re not going to complain."
