Review > Comic- Serenity: Better Days #1


Any reason to revisit the crew of Serenity is a good reason to me!  Dark Horse's new 3 issue mini-series, Serenity: Better Days seems like a lost episode of Firefly, the short-lived space western created by Buffy's Joss Whedon.  This, of course, is a good thing.  Whedon takes time off from the 8th season of the Buffy comic to co-write this, which takes place... well I'm not sure when it takes place, but it's before the Serenity movie because the whole crew is here and fans know who didn't live through that.  The characters retain their charm and sense of humor, so the transition to comics is smooth enough.  The art isn't bad, but if it was all like Adam's Hughes' cover, I'd be happier.  

Rating 3.0 out of 5
