Giannis MilonogiannisRecensioni

The six stories featured in this graphic novel range from the entirety of Wash's life from a child to a rather speculative story about what might have happened had the tragic events in the 'Serenity' movie not taken place.

I'm a big Firefly fan, I rewatch the show and film yearly, and Wash is one of my favorite characters, so I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I think the idea of Wash watching his life flash before him and even entering into a speculative realm of what could have been is brilliant, touching, and sad.

Damn.

I'm getting all choked up just thinking about it.

Enjoy!

Well that was terrible. Dismal storyline, appalling graphics, poor characterisation - I don't need it to be photorealistic, but the characters look like they were drawn by someone who hadn't even read a Firelfy script, never mind seen the programme. So disappointing.

19th century post-apocalyptic action? A village of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean people has formed on a small island off the coast of Japan, refugees from a Great Wind that killed many of the people on the mainland. But now soldiers of a new shogun arrive demanding help fighting the bizarre zombie monsters that threaten to wipe out the shogunate and its citizens.

The main characters are a couple island kids who have been training to be warriors while building a highly competitive rivalry between themselves. Neither of them are particularly interesting, nor are the moral and political dilemmas they find themselves drawn into because of this new world order.

Everything is dark and sinister, but also exceedingly boring.

Interesting! I think most of you already know I like stories about samurai or ronin, so when I saw this title it was all she wrote, baby. No one's truly black or white morally. I can't wait to see more of Kenichi and Hana, and the inevitable day they actually become friends.

4.5

This book is an entertaining cop story about investigating a cover-up with futuristic tools. In a world where humans and machines have begun to blend, things are not as they seem.

The art is somewhat manga style and delivers a lot of kinetic energy to the action for both humans and machines.
