Serenity – Those left behind

Serenity by Joss Whedon

Penned by Whedon and Brett Matthews Serenity follows a ship full of mercenaries, fugitives and one law-abiding prostitute in their pursuit for fast cash and a little peace along the fringes of space. The ragtag crew of Serenity take on a scavanger mission with the hopes of earning enough dough to disappear for a while. Only too late do they realize the whole gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager remake their aquanitance with the help of some covert-operatives known only as the Blue Gloves. Artist Will Conrad (Marvel’s Elektra and Witches) and colorist Laura Martin (Astonishing X-Men and The Ultimates) paint a rough and wild world of adventure across a strange and dangerous universe, in this not-to-be-missed tale straight from the brain of pop-culture mastermind Joss Whedon!

Having watched both the firefly series and the film serenity i read this book thinking it would fill in the gaps between the two. i was left feeling more confused. i’m not sure comics are for me i loved the pictures and the colour but found it hard to keep track of the storyline.  I think i’m glad i tried reading it but don’t think i’ ever go for a comic again i like me black and white text to much.
