"Serenity : Better Days" Comic Book - Issue 1 - Aintitcool.com Review

Don't ever judge a book by its cover. Especially don't judge this book by its cover. Because under the circa 1970's Harlequin Romance novel exterior lies a resurrection. This is not a resurrection that will save all of humanity nor give children the false impression that bunnies lay eggs, but this resurrection will satiate the hunger of rabid Firefly/Serenity zombies everywhere.

Set somewhere after the close of the TV show Firefly and the chill inducing events of the movie “Serenity”, SERENITY : BETTER DAYS finds our favorite spaghetti western sci-fi Dust Devils still trying to survive on the outer planets as best they can. Holdups and whoring are the centerpieces of the first issue, while Kaylee still dreams of getting to that shiny place with the Doc. I should also mention, the Hero of Canton Strikes Back.

BETTER DAYS has everything Firefly fans would expect from the House of Whedon. Hold ups, shake downs, quirky ancillary characters, witty dialogue, and a return to a cast of characters that defective marketing numbers and simian program directors ripped away from Whedonites far too soon.

Joss did a masterful job of making me feel right at home from the very first panel, and I think any other fan will be hard pressed to disagree. However, and I can't stress this enough, this title is not a jumping off point. It's an inside secret, a brief sliver of time, a small part of a much larger whole. This is not a criticism ; it's merely a statement of fact when a story is forced to cross mediums.

Basically, if this review lost you at spaghetti western sci-fi, this book is not for you. The brief paragraph synopsis on the flip-side of the cover is nowhere near enough information to properly immerse you in Whedon's original take on traversing the cosmos or the beautiful cast of characters that live aboard Serenity. Like most of Joss's work, true enjoyment comes from knowing the characters that drive the action, rather than the action itself.

Sorry, but I know Ambush Bug will make me appear in the “I'm Fucking Corey Feldman” video if I use this space to explain all the details of the show “Firefly”. Plus, a half-assed synopsis would be an affront to the dedication given to this universe by Joss, the original actors in the show and the fans. The best advice I can offer any comic reader that is a fan of Joss's writing style is to take the money you would have spent on the three issues of SERENITY : BETTER DAYS and instead rent the original TV series and the movie “Serenity”. If you like what you see over in those parts, I can guarantee that you'll be right happier when you come back to read SERENITY : BETTER DAYS (you'll also understand why I decided to talk like Yosemite Sam's retarded brother Everglade Earl in that last sentence).

Joss Whedon's ongoing saga of space pirates returns to comics in a new miniseries from Dark Horse Comics. Whedon with returning Co Writer Brett Matthews and artist Will Conrad delivers a very amusing twist on the Serenity story by telling an earlier adventure of Captain Mal Reynolds and his rag tag crew as they pull off a heist that just might work.

Serenity Better Days

The beauty of Whedon's work is that itserves really well as an untold story of his TV series Firefly and can serve as another prelude tale to the Serenity movie. What is truly shiny about this miniseries is that Better Days actually feels and sounds like an episode of Firefly. The story involves a robbery scheme that is well layered and with this robbery on top of a robbery, complications involving clients having no money comes into play so then we see more theft and the scenes itself work well because the characters are familiar to the fans who love them. Kaylee is still pining for Wash, Inara deals with a guy with some anger issues, and Jayne continues to be amazed when he is unable to make something blow up. The only comment that can be said is that there is not enough River so far, buy that is just this reviewer being particular. If it was not for flipping the pages of the book, this felt like another story to the filmed part of the Serenity saga.
