In the aftermath or a sort of electrical storm sweeping the universe and destroying all the chips made by the blue sun origination. The serenity/firefly finds itself in trouble cos some of the mechanic, computer parts within its ships systems also originate from the blue sun organisation, and the only solution to stop the ship from plummeting to its death is a body part belonging to Moon. In this issues Moon gives up a mechanical body part that she needs to stay alive long term, in order to save the crew and ship. Also Mal uses the help of one blue sun regional director, to capture another sun regional director that he blames for all the trouble in this story arch. The issues is a large issue special, nice artwork throughout. Only one page of adverts at the rear, a quality issues. Maybe front cover could have been better, but no internal editorial or design errors. A worthwhile addition to the Firefly universe.
FIREFLY: BLUE SUN RISING #1, available Wednesday from BOOM! Studios, concludes both the Blue Sun Rising plot arc, and the main plot for the most recent run of Firefly. However, their story is far from over.
It all comes to a head here, in Firefly: Blue Sun Rising #1. The crew on Serenity has gotten in over their heads on more than one occasion, and this time is no exception. Heck, even the stakes are something they’ve had to deal with before. It’s almost refreshing to see them tackling it all head on, once again.
Blue Sun Rising was the first-ever crossover event that Firefly got a chance to play with. So it makes sense that it was also used to conclude this major plot arc at the same time. That doesn’t mean that the series will conclude after this issue is over, however.
The next issue of Firefly (Firefly #25) will begin a new plot arc. One that follows the events of Serenity – as in, follows the events of the movies. That’s going to be…tough. It’ll be one of the first times fans have seen the crew (in comic form) since all of the changes that occurred over the course of that plot.
We’ve always wondered how they continued on after that, and very soon, we’re going to be getting a chance to find out. Any theories?
At least this pointless arc seems to be at an end. I just don’t know where this is all going because we all know how Haven ends... also Inara did a costume change AND callback within five seconds, WTF!
