DESCRIPTION:
This second entry in the Serenity comic-book series, which essentially presents new episodes in graphic format, should help mollify them. While most of the in-jokes, character quirks, and background references will only resonate with those already in the know, that is a pretty sizable—and hungry—population in its own right. Whedon’s sensibility works well here, as primary hero/rogue Mal Reynolds and his crew balance snarky asides and verbal sparring with cloaked sentimentality and plenty of western-styled space-opera action.

Serenity: Better Days follows everyone's favorite space cowboys in a thrilling, action-packed adventure, where Mal and his crew take on a heist that promises a big payoff. But when one of Serenity's crew is taken captive and tortured, the gang must put their enduring differences aside and work together to save one of their own, even if it means losing the cash prize of a lifetime!Joss Whedon returns to the world of his blockbuster film Serenity, reuniting with Brett Matthews and Will Conrad, his collaborators on the bestselling 2005 series Those Left Behind.
A huge improvement over the previous Serenity series Robert Moore A few years ago fans of FIREFLY/SERENITY were given a rather lack luster series called THOSE WE LEFT BEHIND. There isn't a great deal of narrative squeeze space right now in the Serenity universe. The reason is that Joss Whedon and his stars still hope to make another movie. Whether it would be a direct to DVD (which is more likely) or a a theater release is an open question.There there have been rumors from time to time that Universal, given the impressive and steady sal. Scott Fogg said Not Really "Better" Days .. I was a little disappointed by this book. The art is beautiful, but the story itself is nothing special. It's neat to see inside each of the characters' heads the way you do, but if this were an episode of the show, it'd be a forgettable one. And since this collects four issues of the comic, I was a little surprised that had this been an episode of the show, it would have only been a single episode. It's very short and not a lot happens in it.. Block Knight! said Brown coat says: 'Meh". First off - yes, I'm a fan. I have the TV series trading card set, all the movie/series softcover tie-in books, Those Left Behind (much better written), and the Firefly movie magazine.That being said, this book was pretty bad. Maybe Mr. Wheedon was too busy doing 'Dollhouse' to put much time into writing this. Barely any characterization in the dialogue - just basic A to Z adventure writing.The book itself was made just as well as Those Left Behind.Can't recommend this at
