FIREFLY # 9
Recap
Captain Mal Reynolds is courting capture by the Alliance and all in the name of one woman. A woman who is meant to be the embodiment of all he hates, but whom he has instead grown to trust and respect. Throwing in with her in favour of his own chance of a pardon he goes on the run, even as his allies try to save him.
Review
The end packs a punch that is plain for all to see, clearly reflected in the face of Mal and that one tear we see. This here finale is proof if proof were needed that Greg Pak is deserving of the title New York Times best-selling writer. Along with series creator, story consultant and all round legend Joss Whedon, artist Dan McDaid the whole motley crew continue to enthral and entertain in the true spirit of the original series. And amid the chaos of the chase we can see the beginnings of a sense of balanced reasoning from the most unexpected of sources. While everyone around them has other ideas the two who were originally enemies have found common ground, enough to set aside their differences and begin to calmly build bridges.
Final Thoughts
The pace is matched to perfection by the humour and drama. And the art only adds to the feel of the energy within the story.
