Went off the rails

I like a lot of what Greg Pak did with his time on, but these final three volumes just didn’t have the stuff for me。 Characterizations felt way off, the plot was flimsy, the stakes were so murky they felt totally inconsequential, and the eventual resolutions we get didn’t feel earned。 I don’t dislike where some of the cast end up, it’s just that their journey to reaching that point seems to have all occurred offscreen。 It felt like Pak had an ending in mind but none of the time or interest to de I like a lot of what Greg Pak did with his time on, but these final three volumes just didn’t have the stuff for me。 Characterizations felt way off, the plot was flimsy, the stakes were so murky they felt totally inconsequential, and the eventual resolutions we get didn’t feel earned。 I don’t dislike where some of the cast end up, it’s just that their journey to reaching that point seems to have all occurred offscreen。 It felt like Pak had an ending in mind but none of the time or interest to develop an interesting or affecting way to get there。 The final three issues have some nice moments that reflected the earlier high points in the series—and stayed in line with the fundamentals established in the classic TV series and subsequent movie—so I didn’t outright dislike this。 But based on how strong the series started and how effectively Pak kept the Firefly story going with new and interesting ideas, characters, and subversions, I expected and wanted more, especially since this final story arc starts with such a compelling idea。At least the art wasn’t that bad。 Simona Di Gianfelice and Francesco Segala have some attractive spreads and visuals。 Segala’s colors are the highlight, as they bring a warm, lively vibe to the personality of Di Gianfelice’s illustrations。 Character expressions are also great, and made me wish even more that the emotions drawn on the page were also felt in the writing。 A middling conclusion doesn’t ruin the parts of this that I really liked, and I’ll always appreciate Pak for reminding me why I fell in love with this world and these characters in the first place。 After learning about how shitty a person Joss Whedon is, it was nice to have another storyteller take the reins and, for a while, at least, prove that there was and still is value in this particular story。 I wish this ending kept that momentum, but hey, you can’t have it all, so I’ll take the good that I got。 。。。more
