\"Serenity:<\/a>
\nSerenity: Leaves on the Wind<\/a>
\nZack Whedon & Georges Jeanty, Dark Horse Books 2014<\/p>\n

Firefly<\/em> is one of my all-time favourite tv shows, mostly because Joss Whedon somehow managed to create characters I adore. Every single one of the band of misfits aboard the Serenity<\/em> feels like a friend, which is why I treasure every chance I get to spend more time with them.<\/p>\n

This comic, collecting six issues, picks up shortly after the movie Serenity<\/a> and reads like a proper mini-series. The information about Miranda was released, but the Alliance is powerful and won’t topple easily. As always, they have aces up their sleeves, some quite surprising. However, now there’s a New Resistance movement (led by new character Bea, who I liked very much), hoping to fight back – if only they had a leader… Unfortunately Malcolm Reynolds, as always, is definitely not volunteering for the role. All he wants is some peace for his crew, not in the least because there’s a new addition. As per usual, however, he might not have a choice, and soon our Firefly<\/em> family is caught up in events and fighting to remain together.<\/p>\n

The stakes are high all through the story, and I was unable to put it down until the end – which leaves enough open to make me very hopeful for another run. Of the four stories told in comic-format, this is easily my favourite. And I’m not saying that just because seeing Mal and Inara finally together made me smile big time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
