read it earlier today, very good read. Wasn't quite how I thought it was, but still very good.

What the heck? Why isn't this on the main page? Is nobody reading it? Does nobody want to discuss it?

Kinda a sign of a Browncoat apocalypse. :(

I'll avoid spoilers as best possible...

Definitely nice to have more FIREFLY. Solid story... but a bit disappointing. Although I guess after all these years, it would be very hard for it NOT to disappoint.

I guess I'd say good, but not as "cool" as I would have hoped.

definitely not the secret origin I expected

but it was nice to see everyone again

did not care for the art

I got mine on Wednesday, and I liked it. Not the origin story I was expecting, and while at first I was happy to see more of the original cast in it than just Book, I quickly decided I think I would have liked it better with just Book - some of the first few panels seemed a bit off to me, characterization-wise, to say nothing of the timeline. I assume that was Zack's doing - was he at all involved with writing the series?

As before, it was not what I expected for a back story, but as it got to the end (or beginning, I should say ;)) I kind of enjoyed it more.

So I guess I'm mixed, but I didn't HATE it at all. Probably have to think about it more.

For the record, I actually really liked Better Days, and to a lesser extent Those Left Behind, and I know a lot of people didn't, so take my review with a grain of salt if you tend to fall in that "majority" category most of the time.

I liked it better than the other two FF comics! It was enough. It was concise. More would have been too much IMO.
And the art was entirely perfect for the story.
Again, IMO.

Great work, Zack!!!

Zack Whedon (brother of Joss), actual writer of the comic. Joss provided backstory details.
