PAGE 2 of 8
A couple of questions:
1. is this official or fanfic? Seems the former, but just wanna be sure.
2. Page 6 - How does Wash shoot those ships? Serenity has no weapons.
3. Have there been more of these comins that i may have missed? (I know about those left behind and Better days)
4. When do we get the first half? :P
/insert Monty Python sketch about the Spanish inquisition:
As for the story itself, nice. I assume River executed the guy?
And protecting a stagecoach. Class.

I totally agree. I don't get it. Yet, this story I still find amazing due to the fact we now know why River is on the job at the beginning of the BDM. Now I want to see the comic that comes before this and after this.

What a great surprise, thanks comic guys! And Joss, I'm assuming he gave the green light.
I had to read this one a few times for it to make sense. It is rushed, but it does explain River on the heist in the BDM. Does she kill the hostage? He was an Alliance plant, right? It looks like self defense, but still, Mal uses her talents for personal gain, bad Mal. It's kind of sad; no wonder Simon is the way he is in the movie. He wants to protect his beloved young sister from anymore harm.

:D yes we do.
According to fanwank at whedonesque, the ship has weapons.
How? Well we know that the cargohold is detachable... and this one has weapons. It is possible and the ship does have a couple of things which "may" be weaponry.

Great character development though.
As for having to read it a few times, true, but this comic is also thrown in at the deep end, right in the middle of a story so IMO it works really well. Having to reread it to make sense adds to its perceived longevity. It feels a lot longer than it is. Something the other comics suffered from - they "felt" short.

Yes, she does. That was what I was getting at when I said it's very subtle and that that top right panel on page 5 is so important. Simon got knocked out and is unconscious, the guy realizes that River can tell what he's thinking, and points a gun at her.
I guess the logic of the comic is that we've all seen the BDM and so it should be completely obvious exactly what would happen if someone pointed a gun at River in close quarters...

Could someone please remind me how the cargohold is detatchable? Xie xie.
Yea! Who knows, Joss did say the area down the stairs in the cockpit was going to play an important part of the series in the future. Maybe that's where theyre at... (let the speculation begin!)
Oh we should try and bump this thread to news!

Maybe they have?
I am starting to think that the edges of "society" are far more violent than I previously believed.

I doubt it can be bumped up to news... probably need Haken or someone to actually put it there.
As for how the cargo bay is detachable, no idea. I also had not idea that Joss had even talked about it. Interesting - Did he give any hints at what his plans were?

I don't think the guy was hunting River. They were hunting smugglers because they were smugglers. The guy says "What if she's the one who escaped? Of course, the Doctor, her Brother. I could get promoted for this." So he knows about River but he isn't there because of River.
