Better Days

Anyone else pick up this comic? I just got number 2 and I'm really enjoying it. The crew has come into some money and of coarse some trouble. It takes place before the movie so all the characters are in it. I can't wait to get #3 next month.

Re: Better Days

There was a previous set of three comics as well, called Those Left Behind. I haven't read any of them but I will at some stage.

'Those Left Behind' was really good too.

Re: Better Days

I've never heard of these comics!!! Are they good? Where in the story do they come in, before the movie????
I'll bet I won't be able to get them here, might have to do a bit of searching for them.

Re: Better Days

I've seen them on eBay but they were also published together as a pb anthology. But I'd rather have the individual comics.

As I understand it, they are set between the end of Firefly and the beginning of Serenity but they are not meant to tell the whole story of what happened during that period. Probably Wheedon would like to do more comics in the future.

Re: Better Days

Is one of the above-mentioned the comics which fill the gap between Firefly and Serenity?

They're set in that timeframe, but as I understand it, they are individual episodic stories rather than a story arc that takes you from the end of Firefly to the beginning of Serenity. If that makes sense.

I now have the Better Days comics but don't want to read them before Those Left Behind, but getting them is proving difficult.

Re: Better Days

Those Left Behind and Better Days are two totally different story lines. Those Left Behind was ment to be a prequal to the movie. Better Days takes place before the movie. Both are wonderful and if you liked the show you'll love the books. Those Left Behind should be available on amazon as a trade paperback(all the comics in one book). I just got my last book in the Better Days arc so you might be able to find it at your local comic shop.

We don't have a local comic shop

However, I did manage to pick them all up on eBay. I thought the artwork was good and the dialogue spot on. The only thing that struck me was the length - they seemed a bit short. But it's so long since I read a comic - maybe they were always like this.
