PiercingMetal Thoughts: Are you ready to give me a slap on the bean with this disclosure? No? Perhaps you will once I say that I have never seen a single episode of the cult favorite series “Firefly”. Yeah it just ended up happening that way. I missed the boat when it was first on and then I never looked back into it despite my friends saying how I would love it because it was awesome. Don’t worry there is a super affordable Blu-ray set available and I will investigate picking that up so I can join in with the rest of you. So that admission makes this a series that while lost on me, would truly be something that pleases the fans of the short-lived show. Speaking frankly, I just love that Dark Horse Comics is keeping this mythology vibrant by offering up new adventures of the characters that were on the show. What do you readers think about this new series? Will you be collecting it in single issue format or waiting on a collected edition to have it all in one place. Let me know in the comments section below.
