So, will our favorite bounty hunter land on some discarded mattresses, or something pointy?

That's what you wanna know?

Ok. Neither. He's developed a relationship with "The little man who loved fire" and HE will save him...

As for the fifth in the series I got four words...

Well, kinda. He tends to survive tough situations, I'm hoping we find out one way or the other.

And who set them up? Should be very interesting.

Also, when River tells you to run, faster would be better!

lol

I can actually see that scene working out either way.

Option 1:
River: Run.
Mal:Eta Kooram Nah Smech!

They all fall asleep.
BDHs smile.
Weasly Scientist: Shit.

Option 2:
River: Run.
Jayne: Eta kooram nah smech!

Nothing happens. BDHs haul ass.
Jayne: It was worth a shot!

What did you guys think of Kaylee giving Mal the red button from Out of Gas? Was it just a good luck thing? A please come back in one piece gesture? Or did I miss something?

Whatever the reason seeing it made me smile.

Solid issue. Hoping that we have seen the last of Jubal, but I have a feeling like a bad penny he will keep turning up.

The most chilling part of the book was when River told the group to "run". That alone would have given me all reason I would need to turn tail.

Is it just me, or was this issue a super-quick read? I feel like it went by so quick that there wasn't too much to comment on.

I have mixed feelings on the crew dropping Jubal from a height. One one hand, he DOES deserve to die -- but from a story sense, if you're just going to kill him that abruptly, why bother using him in the first place? His appearance in the comic has been a real disappointment.

Although the ambush was kind of cool, I felt the most "emotional" moment in the issue -- the only moment where I really went "Yes!" -- was when The Operative stayed behind and said "I'll hold them." Cool not only because he's stepping it up, but also because of the anticipated sword fight that will continue into next issue. :)

I think the entire six issue run, if filmed, would be approximately the same length as a regular TV episode, with each issue being the segments between commercials.

As for commenting on the story, I'll reserve judgement until the end, but so far I'm underwhelmed. I could say that about all of the comics. It doesn't help that most of the interior art of the characters doesn't resemble the actors very much.

I think you're right about the length -- and I think that's part of the problem with this arc. There's so very much filler and fluff.

To compare, THOSE LEFT BEHIND ran 4 issues. Speaking as someone who adapted it into an episode-length script (for a virtual series), I can tell you that it mapped almost exactly to an episode in length. This one, though, is 50% as long, with the same amount of substance (or perhaps less substance).

Honestly, most of the first issue and a half is just useless fluff and the seemingly quick end to Jubal (assuming there's no twist at the end) similarly declaws most of what was decent about the rest of issue 2 and the balance of issue 3.

I agree, when I picked it up at the store, it even seemed lighter and smaller.

But then that's what I hate about comics, too much art- too little story and detail and definition. Comics are like a tease every month. Too long of wait for too little info.

WHY CAN'T WE JUST HAVE SOME DAMN BOOKS???!
*sigh
