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.
