Firefly: Still Flying: A Celebration of Joss Whedon’s Acclaimed TV Series by Joss Whedon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I came to this for the new fiction and was a little disappointed that there were only three stories and a Young Jayne beginning reader spread by Ben Edlund. However the stories are good (and poignant), if brief.
WHAT HOLDS US DOWN by Jane Espenson
is the best of the lot, featuring Wash and Kaylee doing what they do best.
CRYSTAL by Brett Matthews
focuses on River Tam and her connection to the crew.
TAKE THE SKY by Jose Molina
shows us Mal at 70.
Between the stories are cast interviews, articles on props (Wash’s dinosaurs! Shepherd Book’s Book!), details on the writing process, ship design, world-building and more — including highlighting work done by the fan community and fan films — making this a must read for Browncoats.
