We’re back on Serenity!! Leaves on the wind takes place after the movie Serenity. Our gang is in trouble after the big reveal, they are hunted by the confederation, obviously, but the resistance group has also taken an interest in Mal.

This is definitely a character book. Fans of […]
March On
I have loved Representative Lewis since studying about the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and their role in the sit-ins, freedom rides, and the 1963 March on Washington.

In volume 2, Gwen takes a […]
