Here’s how it is – in a universe filled with hearts and minds as cold and dark as the reaches of space, one small Firefly-class starship named Serenity takes it’s ragtag crew of mercenaries, outlaws, and fugitives in search of a job, any job, that’ll earn them enough cash to afford that most elusive commodity – peace.Josh Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, unveils a previously unknown chapter in the lives of his favourite band of space brigands in this prequal to the Serenity feature film – the blockbuster follow-up to Whedon’s cult-hit TV show Firefly.
As soon as I discovered this little gem on the Internet, I had to order it. One week later and it’s in my hands, waiting to be lovingly absorbed.
I know I’m gonna enjoy it, even though I also know that it’s not going to be the same as watching Firefly or Serenity, but by gosh, it’s another story. The TV show may have been axed, and the movie may have found a conclusion, but now Josh has found another avenue to tell the stories!
And looking at the large number 1 on the spine, one can only hope that there will be more.

I didn't find much appeal in Buffy novels - although there were a couple I did enjoy - so it'll be interesting whether you like the Firefly novel as much as the series or the movie.

The problme with a graphic novel is that the characters quirkyness doesn't come out - but it's still a visual treat, as well as nice to see the start of the journey from the end of Firefly to the beginning of Serenity.
If nothing else, it shows the TV execs that Whedon had a lot more ideas left in his head and that they should have given him another season...

It's the title of the Graphic Novel Frank, you'd have to ask Josh why he picked it...
