Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale

Not as long as the other Serenity Dark Horse comics entries, but a nice stand-alone tale that gets a bit more complex as time goes on. When in the film, Shepherd Book said, "I wasn't BORN a shepherd, Mal,"... lets just say this book fills in a lot of the space between (hee hee). Interesting character study; just wish there was a LOT more.

This was by far the the best of the Serenity Graphic Novel series. It was told in a unique way. Flash back upon flash back upon flash back. Gives some insight into the Shepard Book character, and why folks could have been so upset at who he was. We find he was so many different people that he may have been the only one who truly knew. returnreturnLike the others in this series it was far too short. In fact this could have been several novel in and of itself. returnreturnI still want more, but at least this is something. Book is a great character and this only puts the icing to an already delicious cake.
