Storyline: Better Days Part 3 (of 3)
Date: May 14, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews
Artist: Will Conrad

Synopsis: Better Days concludes with a brutal showdown when one of Serenity’s crew is taken captive and tortured. The gang must put their enduring differences aside and work together to save one of their own, even if it may mean losing the cash prize of a lifetime. Joss Whedon returns to his blockbuster hit Serenity, reuniting with Brett Matthews and Will Conrad, his collaborators on the bestselling 2005 series Those Left Behind. Adam Hughes joins the team for covers.

Opinion: At last the final issue of Serenity has arrived. Now I can stop reading and critiquing this horrible comic. Yes, sadly it hasn’t gotten any better now that it’s at the end. The story line is disjointed, the action scenes are impossible to follow and the threat isn’t even explained.

As I explained with Serenity: Better Days #1, I do really enjoy the Firefly episodes and the movie Serenity, but this comic series left much to be desired. My expectations must have been too high since I keep finding issues with this mini.

Storyline: Better Days Part 2 (of 3)
Date: April 9, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews
Artist: Will Conrad

Synopsis: The second issue of Serenity: Better Days, follows Mal and his rag-tag crew on a short-lived vacation, where they explore their fantasies and confront long-forgotten enemies.

Opinion: At the end of the last issue the crew had found jackpot, and had become wildly wealthy overnight. This issue focused on their individual dreams of what they would do if they were millionaires. Very nostalgic for someone like me who knows these characters very well but not the best use of a comic book. Comics have limited space, why waste it on dreams and character development when you only have three issues. Let’s have some action!
