The ragtag crew of Serenity take on a scavenger mission with the hopes of earning enough dough to disappear for a while. Only too late do they realize the whole gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager remake their acquaintance with the help of some covert-operatives known only as the Blue Gloves.

Having greatly enjoyed the short-lived television series, and having somewhat enjoyed the movie, I was looking forward to another adventure of the Serenity crew, particularly since it was written by the creator and series author, Joss Whedon. Unfortunately, the story is stale and not at all rivetting.

The art is decent, but I was sure expecting much more story and/or character development.
