I've been waiting two years for this newest comic and was hoping that it would point the story back in a direction toward the carefree days of the TV show where Mal could visit any port on any planet and be free from arrest by the Alliance. Nope. Mal still cannot go anywhere without being arrested. For Mass Murder!

In the previous comic book, Serenity Leaves on the Wind (2014), Jayne was killing prison guards with a high-power rifle.

Mal had decided the best way to free Zoe from prison was the most straightforward: kill law-officers doing their jobs.

Good oldboy Jayne and his boss Mal have really crossed a line by murdering those guards. They will never be forgiven. This wasn’t the same as gunning down Agent Lawrence Dobson because this time Mal left a government man alive to tell the Alliance precisely who committed mass murder of the guards.

The bedtime story told to Zoe’s baby in the newest comic does not give me any hint about how Mal will fix the mess he made during the previous comic. Remember, I've waited years! I wonder what the next comic book will be about?

Wow, that artwork is absolutely beautiful! A heck of a lot better than the first free comic. Thanks for posting this, Mutt. I wasn't able to get to my dealer in time.

Ugh a baby? That just never seems to go well in these kinds of stories. Kinda glad Firefly/Serenity stopped before they had a chance to mess with it too much.

The Buffy comics went right off the rails as well IMO. They went to crazy weird places in that thing.

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly



Wow! I just noticed the Blue Sun shirt Emma is wearing! I gotta upgrade my reading glasses!

You're worried about the baby? Worry about Mal killing lawmen in front of witnesses. The law will forgive him for killing other criminals, but they won't ever forgive him for killing lawmen. And there are millions of lawmen, anyone of them could kill or capture Mal. His life will be far, far less restricted by having a baby on board Serenity than by having every Sheriff, Deputy, and Cop in the Universe gunning for him.

I really think the comic books will need a reboot because Zack Whedon, the writer, made a bad decision when he decided that Mal would not sneak Zoe out of prison, but blast her out with the maximum number of dead and wounded. Zack Whedon showed a little restraint: he did not have Jayne throw grenades into the crowd of guards. Good thinking!

Two years ago, Mal and Serenity were completely hidden until Zoe needed to go to the hospital. Now that Mal and Jayne are mass murderers of prison guards, Serenity needs to find an even better place to stay hidden. Their only adventure will be locating a new remote place never before used by outlaws. Some place lonelier than before:

I haven't read it. So, I don't know how bad that scene was. I can easily see them killing feds. Though if the plan is just to blast through all the guards that really doesn't seem like a Mal plan. Ultimately I just don't care. The comics don't feel like they belong with the show. So, I'm just not going to read them.
