Firefly #10

"FIREFLY #10, out this week from Boom! Studios is a strong reminder that, for many, the battle never ends. The Browncoats may have lost during the Battle at Serenity Valley – but they never lost their hearts or their determination.

The latest series of Firefly has been doing their best to weave the fans an all-new tale about our favorite characters. Of course, there’s a bit of a challenge here, since they only have so much time to work with. If you’ve seen the Serenity movie, then you know the exact reason why they can’t just throw tales on after that point.

Despite this limitation, the series has found a way to continue the feud between the Browncoats and the Alliance. More than that, they’ve succeeded in making the whole situation even more complicated than ever before. Suddenly, this seems less like a battle of good versus evil and more a battle of two opposing sides. Though naturally, most fans know which side they would prefer to support.

If there’s one thing this series has been able to make clear, it’s that time changes everyone. And sometimes being left to stew in your loses – seeing what the other side has done with their victory, is the worst medicine out there.

And that is why things have come to such a head in Firefly #10. The Browncoats were quick to jump into a war for the sake of Mal’s life. But they were a lot slower about putting down the idea of another war, even when given the orders to do exactly that. It shouldn’t be surprising to see this happen. But it is."
