    Serenity: Float Out by Patton Oswalt (elwen)

    Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding (Jannes)
    Jannes: Retribution falls is, for better or worse, essentially Firefly/Serenity in steampunk drag.

    My Own Kind of Freedom by Steven Brust (elwen)
    elwen: Highly recommendable fan fiction, very true to the show.

Perfect for diehard Serenity/Firefly fans. The art is spectacular. I am slightly disturbed that the men have bobble-heads. ( )

I have a hardback copy with a lovely, lovely cover, with Mal and Jayne and Zoe on it. Lovely art. The art inside is good, too -- the girls are less well drawn than the men, generally, but for the most part they look very similar to the real people they're based on.

The story is okay, but it feels a little bit rushed. There are some glorious lines, like Zoe's, "Or had you not noticed the colour the captain and I are partial to wearing?" ( )

After a long time of wanting them I finally got my hands on the Firefly graphic novels. The first is set sometime just after the series finished and is a short but fun adventure that slightly foreshadows the movie.

A great addition was the section at the back where Joss Whedon told the story of the Firefly universe including how the Browncoats started and how Mal, Zoe and Wash got together.

The artwork was great and really brought me back into a universe that I haven't visited in far too long. For those who love Firefly they must read this. ( )

This may only be a short adventure, but it's nice to have another firefly fix. I miss the show and I think its about time I rewatch the series. The artwork and writing all fit perfectly with my memories of this great series. I'm looking forward to more adventures. ( )

The plot of Those Left Behind was probably intended to be an early-season-2 episode of Firefly that unfortunately was never shot. As such, it features a job gone bad, an enemy from the past, and some fancy fightin' and flyin'. This, of course, translates quite well to the graphic novel medium. The illustration and dialogue are both well done and true to the series.
The true gem of this work, though, is Joss' Brief History of the Universe, Circa 2516. It explains a lot of things about his high-concept vision of Firefly and Serenity, and how the world came to be as it was. This information was never conveyed in the series explicitly, and although it was implied, it was quite nice to have it all spelled out.
I am looking forward to future Serenity graphic novels, as I, like many others, feel the show was cancelled far to soon and there are plenty of stories left to tell about these characters. ( )

In a universe filled with hearts and minds as cold and dark as the reaches of space, one small Firefly-class starship named Serenity takes its ragtag crew of mercenaries, outlaws, and fugitives in search of a job, any job, that'll earn them enough cash to afford that most elusive commodity--peace.… (more)
