Book Reviews of Those Left Behind (Serenity)
Book Review: Not up to par with the show or the movie
Summary: 3 Stars
The story of this graphic novel takes place in about the same time span as a single episode of Firefly might. However, this is no episode of Firefly. I suppose it is the fault of the comics genre, but things in this comic are far cheesier and less believable than anything in the show or the movie. I knew that was going to be the case as soon as I saw Shepherd Book driving in a red monster truck (I kid you not). Not much later, they show us the main villain: the Alliance agent from the first episode of Firefly that Mal shot in the face is back, now with a mechanical eye and a complete obsession with killing Malcolm Reynolds. As I said, cheesy and overblown. No real character development takes place either; the comic never really gets past "introducing" us to the characters. The artwork is pretty good, but a bit odd in places, and some parts of the comic's action were a little unclear and poorly done, I think. I bought this comic because I wanted to see how it tied together the TV show Firefly and the movie Serenity... but all in all, I was better off filling in the gaps with my imagination. This comic doesn't really satisfy a fan of those far superior productions.Book Review: A must-own for any Firefly fan.

I found "Those Left Behind" to be a great buy. The price was right, the illistrations were fantastic, and it helped quench my Firefly thirst after seeing the entire series and movie. You won't regret buying this, and you'll find yourself reading through it again and again.Book Review: Amazing yet infuriating...
Summary: 5 Stars
The show simply picks up right where it left off in this compilation of Whedon's Firefly comic book continuation. It was written by Whedon himself, so the characters are saying just what you'd imagine them saying in the show. Only problem is, I want more and this just teases me!Book Review: good story

Good read and it set up the movie nicely. If you are a fan of firefly/serenity than this is a must have.Book Review: Browncoat forever!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing i have to say is BRING IT BACK!!! I want Season 2!
The comic book is very well drawn - very real to the way the characters looked in the series and movie. I can hear the dialogue coming straight from the characters. Great addition to the series - I just wish it was Season 2!
