I love Firefly and I miss it terribly but these graphic novels just don't make up for it at all. They're nice pretty colors but the stories are weak and the characters don't look enough like the actors who played them. This one is no exception. But there is some humor, some fun moments, and the intro by Adam Baldwin who played Jayne on the series makes it worth a read.

Decent, if definitely lesser, Firefly adventure.

I had this book since 2011 and I somehow never read it.It's about my favourite TV characters and it made me wanna rewatch Firefly once again.

Oh, Firefly how I miss you! The series ended too soon! This graphic novel is set in the center of the story. The whole crew is together, even Wash. When they show what his dream is for a wealthy future I cried a few tears. 😢 What happened to him in the movie, Serenity broke my heart. 💔

There is a heist, they get ready to rescue someone. Wash is prepared: Jayne is ready:Zoe was born ready:Mal was also born ready:They are all ready (except that one person), and no power in the 'verse can stop them:

Two word review: New Serenity!Unexpected side effect during or after reading: Finally coming to terms with the fact that there will probably never be another Firefly/Serenity film or tv show.New thing I learned from reading this book: Mal doesn't want to be rich.General Observations: For a new Serenity story scripted by Joss Whedon, I was disappointed. Following a story before the events of the movie allows him to use characters who died there, which was nice. But there was something about the w...

This.. was not as fantastic as I expected. I think the story got somewhat muddles, and felt a little rushed- I had to keep flipping back a few pages to work out what I'd missed. Some very funny moments as the crew fantasise about how to spend their new-found wealth though.

Better Days is set at some point before the movie, which made a few pages bittersweet to read. It's written very much like an episode of the show might have been, but it honestly wouldn't have been one of the better ones. Still a fun read for Firefly fans, but not as amazing as I might have hoped.

4.5 stars Introduction: After reading the first volume “Serenity: Those Left Behind,” I was determined to read up on all the “Serenity” comics being made by Joss Whedon after the TV series “Firefly” was abruptly cancelled. Now, I finally got a chance to read the second volume of the “Serenity” series called “Serenity: Better Days” and man, was it one hilarious and action-packed volume! What is this story about? When the crew of Serenity ended up finding a huge pile of cash, they all s

*Book source ~ LibraryFrom Goodreads:Serenity: Better Days follows everyone's favorite space cowboys in a thrilling, action-packed adventure, where Mal and his crew take on a heist that promises a big payoff. But when one of Serenity's crew is taken captive and tortured, the gang must put their enduring differences aside and work together to save one of their own, even if it means losing the cash prize of a lifetime!The artwork is decent and the storyline isn’t too bad.

I don't know why I bothered. The illustrations may be a little better but the disjointed and confusing short story and its implications definitely weren't for me.Serenity's crew suddenly become filthy rich. For a while, anyway. And their 'what I'd do if I were rich' dreams were the only good thing about Better Days .Engineer Kaylee's dream was obvious - sleeping with Simon and her own ship workshop. Doctor Simon would return to his homeworld with sister River so they can work together in a ho...

Awesome story and artwork. I wish so badly that the show had continued.

If I can't watch new episodes of Firefly, I'm happy to at least be able to read new adventures that are an official part of the canon and written by Joss. This second volume in the series of graphic novels is a lot of fun. The crew has come into a lot of money through a successful heist, and we get to see a "fantasy 'bout being filthy rich" from many of the crew members. Wash's fantasy was particularly sweet - and sad, since we know it doesn't happen. I also really liked River's which involved b...

I would definitely count this as better than the first Serenity comic. That being said, this review will be short. The awesome consistencies were still the same: wit, characters behaving as if they walked off the set, and the wonderful Whedonisms thrown around. Not to mention the ever wonderful artwork. I'll die the day I see Joss pick any artist that is anything less than 120% at all times.The plot was way better this time around. I feel like in the first installment, the threat wasn't really t...

Love!! I want to rewatch the tv series now :)

Being a Firefly fan, i was very excited when, back in 2005, Dark Horse Comics announced and released Those Left Behind, the first of a possible series of Serenity comic books.I am not much of a comics reader, i go through phases where months of absorption will occur, but generally, i stick to 15-20 issues a year. i help off on reading the Serenity comics knowing that 3 issues would only wet my appetite, with months before more would be available.after three years, DHC released the next installme...

Really enjoy this series, much like another forgotten gem Fringe. This has all the ingredients of becoming a successful space opera but was taken off the air before a bigger fan base was born. I've settled into this graphic series to continue the journey and while this doesn't follow the film, it does follow the TV show. The book keeps the humour and action ticking as the story builds to a huge confrontation. I would've liked to see this on the screen but settled for the pages. If you are a fan

***TL;DR SPOILERY PLOT OVERVIEW***After an art heist gone wrong Mal and co. are tailed by what can only be described as a supercharged Batmobile from the future. The Serenity crew end up prevailing as usual, and sell the killing machine off to the nearest bidder. Said bidder doesn't have the money to pay for it, so he directs Mal and co. to a fabled hidden treasure concealed beneath a Buddhist temple. The "treasure" turns out to be millions upon millions of credits and the crew are rich for the

This was a disappointment! Serenity Vol. 1: Those Left BehindSerenity Vol. 1: Those Left Behind, the first Firefly/Serenity graphic novel was okay, not fantastic, but okay and it answered some questions.This one, not so much.Apparently, this one takes place between Firefly and Serenity but before Serenity Vol. 1: Those Left Behind. The story focus on what would happen if the Firefly crew suddenly got rich, very very rich, and what they would use the money on. I loved River's twisted Snow White d...

Your enjoyment of this graphic novel largely depends on what you expect from it. If you expect something which answers some of the questions the TV series and film never did, you will be disappointed. If you are just hoping for an episode of Firefly in comic book form, this will satisfy you. It opens with the usual Serenity crew type heist and when the crew are sent to collect their money they discover there is far more than they expected and they are now incredibly rich. We see some fantasies a...
