Firefly, Serenity & associated graphic novels

Fun revisiting the tv series and film, and a reminder of what great tv it was - fast paced, adept with the high concept, good on characters, and with a dab hand for manufacturing an iconic moment/line or few. The graphic novels - some of them only single-issue comics or slightly longer, and all apparently 'canon' (and scripted by or with heavy involvement from Joss Whedon), collected as "Those Left Behind", "Better Days and other stories", "The Shepherd's Tale" and "Leaves on the Wind" - are a mixed bag, though I guess it's inevitable that something would be lost in translation.
