Book Reviews of Those Left Behind (Serenity)
Book Review: Good link between Firefly and Serenity
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want an intro into Joss Whedon's world of Firefly, buy the DVDs, not this book. If you want to know how FIREFLY led to the movie SERENITY, then you must buy this book now. Done as a graphic novel, this book shows what happened to the "men in blue, two by two," and it shows how/when Shephard Book and Inara left the ship. It's the perfect bridge between the TV series and the movie...my only wish is that it was longer.Book Review: Not Necessarily Shiny
Summary: 4 Stars
I dig Joss's writin' and Firefly is hands-down my favorite tv show because of its great storytelling and innovative, risky stylistic choices. I bought this book hoping for the same sort of brilliance, but something's missing. I was left a little cold by this tale, and found its telling a little stilted (which is easy to say because I'm not the writer of the thing, I know). There's supposed to be more Serenity comics on the way, and though I don't buy funny books anymore generally speaking, I'll pick the next book up even though I didn't think this one was outstanding. I have to admit, the bar is raised pretty high in my mind as far as follow-up material to the film and tv show. And this book doesn't pick up after the film, which I'll admit is what I was hoping for. But no matter. "When ya can't walk, ya crawl. When ya can't crawl..." Well. We're still here Joss and co. We'll carry you, and Serenity, whenever you come callin'.Book Review: Can't Believe It Got Cancelled.

If you liked the show you will like this book. If you didn't like the show..........what is wrong with you?Book Review: Important bridge between the tv show and movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
This trade is an important bridge between the show and the movie. The story is well told and vintage Joss. The only issue is that the artwork is less than spectacular.Book Review: Good but short
Summary: 4 Stars
This explains lots between the early demise of the TV show Firefly and the major motion picture Serenity. The biggest flaw is how short the book is. While it seems to thicker than a regular comic (it is, because its four issues combined), most of that action and plot could have been summed up in two issues leaving room for more action.
Overall, this is a MUST HAVE for any Firefly, Serenity, or Whedon fan.
