In particular, he deftly handles the welcome return of Jayne Cobb to the mix. Thankfully, the strength of the writing shines out through the artistic inconsistencies – Zak Whedon continuing to capture the characters’ voices and mannerisms to a tee. There’s some nice wee character details too – such as River adopting Wash’s distinctive pilot’s outfit from the film, and the design of the various sidearms that get to be pulled this issue. It’s a shame, because the scenery and ships are still terrific – detailed, evocative, and capturing the frontier vibe that perpetuate the show rather elegantly. Characters shift from looking spot on, to looking like some other character from some other series (I swear I saw Zatanna rather than Inara at one point) to just looking generic with little to no warning. It’s the inconsistency in the faces that’s the rub there – particularly in the small, less detailed panels. The character art is still problematic, despite vast improvements over the previous issue. I’ll readily admit that I immediately fell in love with Firefly and Serenity the first time I laid eyes on ‘em – its characters, its setting, its heart – and the whole leaf on the wind thing always tolls a sombre bell.Īs Dave alluded to in our Group review of issue #1, this does mean that it veers dangerously close to over-produced fan-fiction territory – though in my humble opinion, it manages to not stumble over into the fawning implicit in that particular criticism instead, it winds up feeling rather authentic, and that’s no bad thing. If there’s a single thing that makes Leaves on the Wind great, it’s that title. Dark Horse have done what we all hoped they would and proved once and for all that you can’t stop the signal. Overall, it was the emotional rollercoaster I expected, was well written and for the most part looked good. The art, however, fell slightly flat for me while landscapes and facial expressions were spot on, body proportions were off and oddly distracting, and certain characters just didn’t have the same “look” I felt they should have. Zack Whedon manages to perfectly capture what made these characters instantly likeable and relatable, making it feel like they’ve barely been gone at all. The story outline of the issue was pretty much perfect, and from the opening dialogue to the final scene it’s very clear that the Serenity is flying high again. I really didn’t know what to think going into this book, I was a massive fan of all things Browncoat and still am (I used to use the stage name “Hero of Canton”) so I really wanted to like it, but at the same time was wary about it continuing so long after the series had finished. So sit back and peruse our issue-by-issue breakdown from Chris and Ross, and soak in just how utterly fantastic Leaves on the Wind is, both for newcomers to the fanchies and die-hard fans alike. With the hardcover edition of Dark Horse Comics’ New York Times Bestseller being released in the UK at the end of last year, we thought it might be time to have a look back at just how impressive this mini-series truly was.
