Serenity: Better Days (Serenity v. 2), by Joss Whedon, Brett Matthews, Will Conrad and Adam Hughes; graphic novel, science fiction; 80 pages
Another graphic novel sharing a further adventure of Serenity's crew. In this installment, a heist lands the crew more money than they ever could have dreamed of, resulting in a series of fantasies about what they'll do with their newfound wealth. Meanwhile, the past of one crew member is about to catch up to them, as a government forces close in looking for war criminals.
This book was just as much fun as Those Left Behind. Set before the final episodes of Firefly, this story is just another adventure with the crew--robbing, fleeing, and getting into more trouble. Of course, it wouldn't be Firefly if it didn't include a little bit of philosophy on the after effects of war, but it fits nicely in with this story. The art is crisp and clear, and the artists have done a great job capturing the faces and tics of the show's characters.
There's one more collection in this series--The Preacher's Tale--which I've actually not yet read (this was another reread). I'm looking forward to tracking it down.
