Firefly #1

I can’t believe Firefly is back! Okay, I actually totally can believe it, but you know what I mean. I’ve read every graphic novel series that has come out and it never quite feels like enough. But then again, that’s usually the case when a show gets cancelled after one season (I always fall in love with the shows that don’t get renewed, I swear).
There are a few constants about this series, many of which lend to the personality that shines so brightly through in this series. One is that Firefly is basically always in need of repair and/or new parts. Two, this means they almost always need money. Three, Mal has a way of finding trouble, even when he sincerely isn’t trying. There are more, but those are the most common ones. They also lead to some very interesting plots.
This plot is no exception, naturally. I won’t go into detail about it, other than to say that it perfectly matched the tone of the other series before it. It is set sometime between the events in Firefly. It’s after the point where Inara has asked to leave, but before she’s been dropped off.
