Advantages: Its Firefly - there has to be something good about it....

Disadvantages: Poorly written, ill conceived badly drawn and just plain dull.

My advice - however much of a Firrefly fan you are, don't buy this comic. Of course, you're desperate for some more Mal on Jayne action and now that Serenity has been released, this seems the obvious way to fulfil those needs. What could be more of an enticing prospect than a storyline that plugs the gap between the end of the Firefly series and Serenity the movie.

well, not this. I almost can't believe that Joss Whedon was involved in any way on this one. a) there's no storyline to speak of. This just looks like a cut cut cut down version of a rejected Firefly "lets grab the bounty" type story that wouldn't have made it past the kicking ideas around stage. b) the writing is less than spot on. Usually anything Whedon does has that sparkling Whedon dialogue and character interaction that make it more than worth your time. here - nothing. No sparks. c)The artwork is tired and boring, bringing nothing to life excepe more detail than is really needed to make the characters look like their on screen counterparts.

And there's no Mal on Jayne action. Seriously.

Skip it.
Thankfully i believe that Whedon is working on a Firefly comics project similar to what he's doing with Buffy *crosses fingers*

Summary: Not really worth the 10 minutes it took me to flip through this sleight work
