It’s four powerhouse tales in one colossal comic, as some of comics’ most legendary talents launch new tales of Firestorm, Metamorpho, Metal Men and Sugar and Spike—that’s right, Sugar and Spike!

Two reason to pick this up:

1 – it sorta features one of the characters from the TV show of the same name.
2 – Sugar & Spike, the goofy / chibi characters from the 50’s are reimagined as hard boiled detectives that track down unique threats to superheroes.

The Metal Men and Firestorm stories are what you would expect from those character, nothing too exciting, but as I mentioned above, the S&S story is fantastic and interesting, and the Metamorpho is a ‘man out of place’ type of story that mostly takes place on another planet, which is great.

If you can find this for free, I’d say check it out. I got it for nearly free in a $0.25 bin at a local comic shop.

A new graphic novel exploring one of the most pivotal moments of Joss Whedon’s acclaimed Firefly, as Wash realizes he’s about to die and the most important moments flash before his eyes- including one that even he never expected.

“I AM A LEAF ON THE WIND;
WATCH HOW I SOAR”

Return to the critically-acclaimed world of Joss Whedon’s Firefly in an all new graphic novel spotlighting Hoban “Wash” Washburne, pilot of the spaceship Serenity…who has just realized he’s about to die.

As Wash’s life flashes before him, he revisits the most important, never before revealed moments in his life, from growing up on a planet so ravaged by pollution that no star could shine in the sky to meeting the woman of his dreams in Zoe, who would become his wife and create a life with him beyond his wildest imagination.

And in those final moments, Wash will reach out to connect with a surprising someone he never thought possible to meet…proving that some bonds transcend our mortal coils.

Writer Greg Pak and artists Davide Gianfelice and Lalit Kumar Sharma come together to present the unforgettable untold stories of the ‘Verse’s most lovable hero set during his final moments – and how love survives even when we don’t.

At no point during this book does Wash realize he’s about to die, and it’s a much better book for that one difference from the synopsis. It’s a collection of loosely related stories by various artists and authors that follow Wash’s life from his start of dinosaur appreciation as a young lad to a far future that could have been.

I’m a big fan of about half the art, but all of the stories and it breaks my heart that the ‘verse that we know is without Wash, but we’ll always be able to ponder what could have been.

Government and religious agencies clash as our understanding of human history collapses when a UFO discovered in a confidential location in a Russian mining operation calls into question the origin of humanity. A cultural anthropologist consults with US Naval Intelligence to investigate the discovery of an extraterrestrial ship buried under the ice for thousands of years in Siberia. The meddling Russians, Vatican officials, the international media spotlight, and her own insecurities all threaten her efforts to keep the fabric of society from crumbling as mankind discovers its startling origin.

I was really hoping for more than what this ended up being, It’s definitely not a bad comic, but it feels more like the outline of a great comic. Normally I’m all for short and to the point stories, but this could have used another 8 issues with a background on the UFO and the aliens that originally drove it, how humanity reacted to the news, and what exactly was going on with the Vatican.

Good, but don’t pay the full price.
