ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4
SCORE: 68
Things are toned down a bit in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. Expect spoilers in
this review. We deal with a funeral and there is a flashback to another
funeral. I am a bit confused who is in flashback in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4.
Was that Jayne Cobb? The crew of the Serenity could have really used
Shepherd Book in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. At least that is something Kaylee
mentions. Jayne Cobb is not into funerals. He is also unhappy that they
were unable to save that kid. He is commended for helping but does not
think much of it because the kid still died.
The Tax Collector has been beaten in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. Jayne Cobb has
a wonderful idea. He decides to send some rations over to the Tax
Collector. Hopefully he will turn from his thieving ways. At the same
time the monks are given weapons and taught how to protect themselves in
ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. The concept of speak softly but carry a big stick is
being used in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. The other concept is you will have
peace through strength. If your opponents do not think you are easy
pickings then they will move on to prey that is easier to take down.
The art work in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4 still does not impress me. The tones
are too soft and too dark for my personal tastes. I am shocked to see
Kaylee and Mal starting to spark some romance in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. I
am also really baffled that Mal is fine in his weird role of not being
captain. Why isn't Mal the captain anymore? Kaylee does not seem like
much of a leader to me. There is a real shocker at the end of ALL-NEW
FIREFLY #4. Jayne Cobb sees his brother. Then he sees a son. Did he know
he had a son? Was there some hanky panky outside of wedlock?
There are still attacks on people of faith within ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4.
There is also a yearning to see Buddha in ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. There are
twenty-two pages and ads at the end of ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4. The ads have
nothing of interest to me personally. ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4 fails at
recapping for people coming into this series in this exact issue. I have
read a few of the earlier ones so I have some grasp of what is going at.
On the other hand there is so much that has happened before that I have
no clue about. Some of it has been referenced lightly here and there.
ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4 poses some interesting questions. Why be a hero? What
save someone? ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4 does not provide any answers to these
questions. Just like the attacks on people of faith, ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4
does nothing to give the other side. I find it funny when things like
the fairness doctrine came out to attack Christians and conservatives.
It is blatantly obvious that liberal controlled outlets never followed
the fairness doctrine. ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4 is a great example of what I
am talking about. Certain points are made and the opposing viewpoint is
not allowed the same amount of space. Maybe ALL-NEW FIREFLY #4 should
keep those kinds of opinions out of their entertainment.
