You know, just once I want these to be a full sized graphic novel. Sure, its 100 pages but most of that is forwards, and information about the groundwork for the movie/ show, and its pages that are not spent advancing the story. And I LIKE learning about the concept art, and concept history for the Whedonverse, BUT I am reading these for the stories.

Maybe its unfair to downgrade the rating simply because I wanted more. I'm just disappointed, yes, this is a bridge between the end of the show and the movie, but the plot here was stunted. Time passage was never dictated in the movie so Whedon could have taken as many pages as he wanted to tell the story.

Simply put, it was rushed. The story was rushed, the characters were rushed, there was a lack of characterization in some of the most vibrant cast that was ever created. I just really felt that, while this was pivotal, and answered some questions, he had room to do more, and should have because you could see Whedon attempting much. It fell short in the end.

Still I give it three stars, because I cling to Firefly. I still love any chance to be with these people.
