#13: Joss Whedon et al, Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale

[kareila]

This is a short graphic novel that promises to fill in Shepherd Book's backstory, but it's only a series of vignettes laid out in reverse chronological order, hopscotching through his checkered past. It's an interesting idea, but I think the story would benefit from a more conventional treatment. There's still a lot left unsaid here.
