This is the second book in the Serenity series that fills in the gap between the tv show Firefly and the movie Serenity. I enjoyed reading Better Days, and found that it was better than the first one, though not quite as enjoyable as the third. (I guess this is a case of it gets better as it goes). One thing that I am enjoying about graphic novels are the graphics. I found these were well drawn and ignited my imagination. They definitely enhanced the story and had a lot of details hidden away in the pages. I found that I could just study the pictures for ages and still enjoy them.I have not read a lot of graphic novels, outside of the Serenity series, so I do not have a whole lot to compare this to. This book is different from the other two because it was composed of a bunch of shorter stories, a number of vignettes of a grander story arch (which is the story arch of the whole Firefly world). These stories brought me back into the world of the show. It read like the tv show played, and I rather enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this to other firefly fans.
Overall I would give it 4/5 stars!
