As a huge fan of the Firefly series I believe I am way too biased to give a fair review of this comics ;) It definitely has the right feel to it and hits the spot of Firefly nostalgia. In the end, I guess that's the most important thing about it :)

Good story. It definitely feels like an episode of television, and the flaw is that I feel like some of the art was drawn off a script written with TV in mind. In several of the action scenes, I found the action a little difficult to follow and discern exactly what was happening. But I enjoyed it quite a bit, and was very happy to get back to the world of Firefly so long after the show left us... Some of that time being my reading queue, of course.

Loved it! I really wish there were more than just 3 Firefly graphic novels. I loved the show and love being able to revisit the Firefly world.

I love Firefly. I liked this comic but didn't adore it. Not enough River. It was good and I'm always happy to see anything from this verse, but it just wasn't great.

I just finished the television series/movie and wasn't ready for it to be over. Then I found out there are graphic novels! The art is gorgeous and I really liked the brief history and additional drawings at the end. The story could have used a tad more fleshing out.

Amazing and well-written (duh, Joss is Boss) but oh, it hurts a little to know (Like the CowboyBebop movie) that this takes place between what we already know, i.e., Firefly and Serenity.
I miss all of the characters and this eases the hurtin' some.
I think the only character that gets any sort of short shrift is River- it's difficult to convey Summer Glau's quirky/crazy/Cassandra-ness on a still page. But near the end... well, I won't spoil it, but anyone familiar with the show or the film will recognize how amazing River Tam can be... when she's not damagin' Jayne's calm, that is.

This story takes place between the TV series and the movie. It feels much like an episode of the show, maybe a two-parter. The dialog and story beats fit. Will Conrad and Laura Martin make the characters look like the actors.

The art is strong. It conveys the same world, the same "look" as the show. Martin's colors are an equal part of the equation with Conrad's pencils/inks. The lighting effects add to the dramatic quality, and some of the space scenes would be hard to follow without the colors to distinguish and shape the objects on the page.

I liked the story, but it wasn't quite like the show. Some film properties translate well to books. (I've enjoyed several Star Wars novels.) I'm not sure that Firefly is one of them. I didn't like the movie b/c i felt it departed too much from the show, thematically and stylistically. This comic matches the show better, but the intangibles added by the cast are missing. A new Firefly comics series has begun recently. I'll try it and see if this trend continues.

The detail and "realism" of the art detracts from the storytelling, IMO. The characters look mostly like the people from the show, the sets look like the sets, etc., but there isn't much sense of movement. I don't know why not b/c i'm not sure what makes static images in panels convey motion in the first place. It happens in lots of comics, but it doesn't happen here, or it doesn't happen often enough that it stood out to me. Or maybe it's just that no drawing of Inara can ever be as gorgeous as the "real" Inara.

The story was authentic (as it should be, since it's from Joss Whedon's mind) and the writing was good, but the art was sub-par.

Simply gorgeous. The artwork for this adaptation is stellar. The artists do a phenomenal job of capturing the actors from the series/movie as the characters.

This graphic novel picks up where the television series left off and the movie picked up. It reads like a graphic novel episode of the series. That is good news, so the story can live on beyond the small screen.
