This leaves you wondering if things can be fixed for our family. I am more than happy with the story and art work. It gives even more depth to the characters.
Not a strong story at all, not the Firefly dialogue I know and love. Side stories have nothing to do with the plot, story-wise or thematically. Just really weak writing. As much as I'm hungry for new Firefly, this leaves me unsatisfied.
I'm struggling a bit with this one. I really enjoyed last issue's breakout plot, but the multiple River-like characters feels out of place, and I'm struggling with the art. Seeing Jayne get beaten up never gets old, though.
