Firefly: The Unification War vol. 3
Collects Firefly issues 9-12.
Writer: Greg Pak
Artists: Dan McDaid
Publisher: Boom! Studios
This collection wraps up the Unification War storyline but once again ends with a cliffhanger.
Serenity’s crew is scattered. Unificator Boss Moon has arrested Mal but they’ve reached a grudging respect for each other… which is good because they face enemies together. Zoe has gone after Mal with a lot of Browncoats who think they can reverse the end of the war. They’re using Mal as just an excuse to continue fighting. Inara has gone to one of her clients, the local Governor, and is pleading on behalf of Mal and Zoe. The rest of the crew are also in trouble.
This was mostly a good ending, tying up most plotlines but it also started new ones.
Unfortunately, while the crew is this scattered, some of their charm is lost when they don’t play against each other. We have new side characters, such as Boss Moon and the bandit whom Kaylee is having a fling with but personally I wanted to see more Firefly characters. Of course, not all of the crew have much to do. Mal and Zoe get the lion’s share of attention. And we get to see Mal’s mom. I have mixed feelings about her.
Overall I enjoyed this story but I missed the crew interaction. I still don’t care for the art.
This collection has a lot of covers and several pages for the Firefly: the Sting minseries.
