I will admit now that I was a latecomer to the Firefly fanbase as I only fell in love after having seen the movie Serenity. Since then it's been one of the best shows I've ever watched and features some of my favorite fictional characters ever. It had been awhile since I watched either but then my friends and I started playing the Firefly board game and now I just can't pull myself out of that amazing 'verse. Those Left Behind is a small but perfect taste of Firefly that just leaves you wanting more.

Ah, my two favorite characters in one gif. :P If you love Firefly and/or Serenity, this story will remind you why.
It takes place in between the show and the movie Serenity and shows you a little of why Shepherd Book and Inara are no longer on Serenity when the movie starts. It had been long enough since I had watched Firefly that it took me a minute to remember the different characters but it's not hard to figure out if you've seen the show. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and I'd honestly love to frame some of it and display it in my house. I am a complete fangirl when it comes to Firefly so I'm probably easy to please but this is definitely on my "highly recommended" list if a) you're already a fan or b) for some crazy reason I can't understand you haven't seen the show and also enjoy humor, science fiction and/or westerns.
And on a only slightly related note, if you are a Firefly fan and also like board games, I cannot recommend Gale Force Nine's Firefly game highly enough. It feels just like the show in all the best ways.
