Kurzbeschreibung
One of Serenity's greatest mysteries is finally revealed in "The Shepherd's Tale," filling in the life of one of the show's most beloved characters - Shepherd Book! Who was Book before meeting Mal and the rest of the Serenity crew, how did he become one of their most trusted allies, and how did he find God in a bowl of soup? Answers to these and more questions about Book's past are uncovered in this original hardcover graphic novel by rising stars Zack Whedon ("Dr. Horrible, Terminator," and "Fringe") and Chris Samnee ("Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps," and "Daredevil") . A pivotal chapter in the ongoing "Serenity saga," "The Shepherd's Tale" is also a rollicking, action-packed epic in its own right.
Über den Autor

Zu seinen erfolgreichsten Erfindungen gehören die TV-Serie "Buffy, Im Bann der Dämonen" (1997-2003), die in Deutschland ein Mega-Erfolg auf ProSieben war und die Spin-Off-Serie "Angel, Jäger der Finsternis" (1999-2004). Jüngst kam noch die Serie Firefly (2002-2003) zusammen mit dem Kino-Film "Serenity" dazu.

ich bin ein großer Firely und Serenity Fan, zudem auch das Pen&Paper.
Leider hat mich dieser Comic auf ganzer Linie enttäuscht.
Ich wollte unbedingt wissen, wer Shepherd war...leider widersprechen die gelieferten Erklärungen aus dem Comic der Serie.
Als Shepherd in einer Folge von der Allianz gerettet wird und wie ein VIP behandelt wird.
*SPOILER ANFANG*
Das wäre definitiv nach diesem Comic nicht der Fall gewesen.
Da er unehrenhaft aus dem Dienst entlassen wurde. Und mit einer Rettungskapsel ausgesetzt wurde.
Später wird er sogar von Allianz-Soldaten zusammengeschlagen und beschimpft! Das passt überhauptnicht zur Serie !!!
*SPOILER ENDE*
Nur eine bitte, bewart euch eure Ideen über Shepherd und last sie euch nicht von diesem Comic verderben !
Gruß
Oliver

Ich bin irgendwie zwiegespalten was dieses Comic angeht. Einerseits freu ich mich wie ein Hutschpferd über neue Geschichten aus dem Firefly Universum, anderseits kann jede Erklärung rund um Sheperd Books Vergangenheit, nur eine Enttäuschung sein.
Und so war dann auch mein Leseerlebnis. Zwischen Freude und Enttäuschung. Und am Ende des Tages muss ich ehrlich sagen hätte ich nicht unbedingt wissen müssen was Books Geheimnis wirklich war.
Wie allzu oft ist etwas nicht zu wissen deutlich spannender als es dann tatsächlich zu wissen.( Ja LOST ich blicke auch enttäuscht in deine Richtung)

Really disappointing
11. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Those who watched Firefly and Serenity are aware of Book's implied rich past. As the series was unfortunately canceled, we find out very little and all sorts of questions remain open. When I first saw this novel available for sale, I expected it to provide some relief for my curiosity.
To put it bluntly, I am very disappointed. The biggest problem is the extremely short length. You could easily fit all the text on a single page and I could tell you the whole story in 60 seconds. One would expect a book published with the purpose of filling in the gaps of a story to do the thing properly. This doesn't even come close. Furthermore, there are a number of inconsistencies, and we arguably end up with more questions than before.
/* SLIGHT SPOILER */
We know that Book had ties to the Alliance (from that Firefly episode where they heal his wounds), but we find out that there was a "falling out" and they (quite literally) threw him out. Why they would treat him as a VIP, save his life and then let them go (as was done in Firefly) is a complete mystery and we're, once again, left hanging.
/* END SPOILER */
Basically, this is a bad fanfic. Save your money and pretend it doesn't exist.

$14.99 for 56 pages?! Do not endorse this...
11. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It's $15 for 56 pages. Please stop and consider that for a moment. I know it's Serenity. I know it's hard bound. This is a great property and a great publisher, but this is an obvious attempt to overcharge a fan base. Other licensed titles in hardcover format do not cost this much. I will not buy this book as I don't want to see more of this. Eventually it will be collected in a trade or an omnibus. I can wait. I read it in the store yesterday, which I am not a fan of, but in this case I felt obligated.
As someone else pointed out, the big question from the tv show, namely why is Book given a warm reception on the alliance ship, isn't even answered. It actually seems to contradict the show. It isn't worth $14.99 or even $8.49 with the Amazon discount. There is no reason this couldn't have been a $5.99 double issue, other than to exploit die-hard fans. If you have tons of cash, you're already gonna order this, but if you are a Serenity/Firefly fan on a budget, you are gonna feel ripped off. Please just browse this in a store and see for yourself.

Interesting narrative, but something seems off.
10. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have huge respect for anyone other than Joss Whedon, even if its his brother, trying to write something on Serenity and make people happy. However this story was off to me for two reasons. The first will be far more relevant to most people.
The number one reason why the story seemed a little off to me is that it was simply FAR to short. You get a brief overview of events without any real detail and then all of the sudden you are back another six years further into the past of Shepherd Book. Although what was in the book was enjoyable I was inevitably disappointed by the lack of material. It was like being able to only look at pictures from someones past when you know there is a movie about it somewhere, it was insufficient.
On the same point, the chronology seems strange. This is not to say it is right, it is just hard to put into context when all that has been written about the universe is confined to a small time period. This is the end of what normally constitutes a review for a book so you can stop here with me saying a nice read but overall somewhat disappointing knowing the amount of depth of the character that could have been explored and the cost of the book.
Now to my second complaint.Please if you are going to read this part read to the end so you understand why I am saying what I am saying, besides my desire to discuss the issue.
The way the book handles race is atrocious. No where do you meet people any people who are not white except when it fits into a modern stereotype. The story is set 500 years into the future, and manages to show women in equal or at least somewhat more equal status, yet it fails to show race progressing past the stereotypical surface point that it now occupies. It is hard to continue to talk about this without giving anything away, but all it takes
************ (MINI SPOILERS POSSIBLY) ***********
is a look at the scene of Book's childhood or his companion during his teen years to see that race in the comic book, set five hundred years in the future is so stereotypically portrayed. In truth it was just a huge disappointment to me to see these caricatures be the portrayal of Book though the second half of the comic. I could go on and talk about how it seems stupid that, in a world that is supposed to be equally founded by the Chinese, you see no one who is Chinese etc. But in truth most people do not see why I am saying this so I might as well stop.
The fact that this comic came up so short in the creation of this rich world artistically, meaning the background is shown in a complex way with people acting different than now, where minor characters are from all races and sexes for that matter, and the characters are not shown in a dynamic non stigmatized manner is disappointing because to me the inclusion of these, what may seem to some details would make the world come alive with a richer quality. One one of my favorite things about the show was the way they would switch to Chinese to cuss or the way the world especially in the pilot episode was formed visually, that is part of the sadly missing aspect of this book that makes it seem strange.
