And boy did I get more Kaylee ... not as much as I wanted, but her singular page in this issue was fantaaaaastic. River does wake up, but with a mission more than a vengeance. Something to take us to the end of this mini-series. Rescuing all of the others like River. We knew there had to be more. I hope they are the answer to saving Zoe.
Speaking of which, there was a little of Zoe in this issue. She's arrived in prison. She is told no one ever leaves this place. Famous last words. That's pretty much promising to get her off of that world in a fucking awesome way. Unless of course ... the Whedons do what they do best--kill everyone that matters and ruin all the beautiful relationships.
Also (and random), I wanna see the Vamps and the Reavers team up. That would be some awesome big-bad-y-ness that would be a challenge. There must be a Slayer in the 'verse somewhere. There must be Vamps ... I better run before I start writing fan-fic right here!

Another 10 minutes of Firefly. A lot of talking, a little bit of violence. These last two issues felt like a re-introduction. A reminder of who everyone is, not quite like Out of Gas - more like a pilot. We get one more character at the end - I was thinking they were going a different way but the way in the story was better.

Remember Jubal
Well here we have the return of characters we last saw not involved with our crew in a good way. Jayne is optimistic about Mal but you know there is going to be trouble just from that.

The story continues, but right now it feels there should have been some major revelations by now. Instead, the plotline keeps on meandering.
It's about time something surprising happens.

Fairly interesting. Some panels are somewhat confusing.

There was a big block of time for me in between when I read issues one and two of Serenity: Leaves on the Wind and when I started issue three. For my friends on Goodreads who don't know, I am very obsessed with Firefly and anything Joss Whedon related. When I heard about this comic series I couldn't wait to read it.
Issues one and two started the story going and kept me really interested in what they were going to do with the series. However, issue three is almost like a road block. Yes, it does have a point and does a good job propelling the story forward. But at the same time, it feels slow and very filler like.
There were pieces of this issue that I found to be boring, including a section that was just about River having a nightmare, and I kept wondering when they were going to get to the point, what was the point of this issue?
When you, as the reader, do finally understand what the point of issue number three is it's very much an okay... kinda feeling. The writers clearly could have combined this plot point into another issue, it didn't need to have it's own.
However, I will say this. As I said, it had been some time since I had read issues one and two, this issue was a great re-introduction for me into the Serenity: Leaves on the Wind comic series. I had forgotten some things in the time that had passed and this issue was a nice refresher. Had I read issue three right after issues one and two, it would have probably received a lower rating from me.

Issue #3 didn't have as much progress in the storyline as the first two issues did, but it was still enjoyable. I really liked the opening story and the artwork. I'm always interested in learning more about River. What really stole the show in this issue is Kaylee! I won't spoil it, but it was fantastic.

This one was good!
A few more pages of explanation would have made it perfect. Kaylee is badass. River has an idea. Mal is coming up with a plan. Jayne shows feeling. Good, but confusing cliffhanger. Very happy with this.

Each issue of the Leaves on the Wind series is fantastic in keeping true to the characters from the show and movie. Fans of Firefly and Serenity will be happy to see some minor characters make their return in this comic as well.

I think the story is progressing along very well and it's a shame there will only be 6 issues.

Another fantastic addition, setting up the story of what happens next with the crew of Serenity.

Long live Kylee!!

Some great surprises and intrigue as well as a kick ass moment from our favourite mechanic!

Jayne and his companions catch up with the Serenity while River sees visions in a self-induced coma. Jubal Early attacks the ship.

Going strong! Liking it.

ahhhh!! Jubal is back. and it is so awesome seeing Kaylee being so badass. Love it! I want the next issue A.S.A.P!

Another great entry into this arc. Things are definitely getting interesting and I love seeing old faces come back!

I am enjoying "Leaves on the Wind". Looking forward to issue four, which is set to be released on April 30, 2014.

Big Firefly fan. This series is darn good. The story moves right along with all the suspense and promise of action and secrets to be revealed.

This comic series gets stronger and stronger with each issue.

Kaylee was really cool in this issue (well, she's always cool); it's great to see her being such a badass!
August 2, 2014
The cover is awesome. the story was pretty good too, it's really picking up.
November 27, 2014
If I could give this one six stars, I would.

Another good issue with an interesting Kaylee section. Nothing more to say, continuing...

And the gang gets back together, and Mal is not too happy about it. This issue, in particular, is where this series starts to really read like an episode of the show for me. So, so pleasing.
