Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #2 (2014) carries forward the emotionally charged and politically volatile narrative that began in the aftermath of the Serenity film. Written by Zack Whedon and drawn by Georges Jeanty, this second issue of the six-part series continues to explore the cost of rebellion, the fallout of exposing the Alliance’s darkest secret, and the strain it places on the already fragile crew of the Serenity.

Following the events of the Serenity film, Mal Reynolds, River Tam, Simon, Zoe, Jayne, and Kaylee are on the run, their lives even more precarious since broadcasting the truth about Miranda and the Reavers. In issue #2, the crew is forced to face the consequences of their defiance. The Alliance is more ruthless than ever, hunting down dissidents and those connected to the broadcast. Meanwhile, the remaining crew must deal with grief, uncertainty, and the burden of carrying a resistance on their shoulders.

This issue sees River begin to step into her own, haunted by secrets buried in her subconscious that could hold the key to unravelling the Alliance’s next move. Mal, still carrying the weight of leadership, is torn between his instinct to keep his people safe and his growing role as an unwilling symbol for revolution. Tensions mount, both externally and within the ship.

Georges Jeanty’s artwork captures the grit and emotional intensity of the story, with expressive character work that echoes the beloved performances from the show and film. His layouts are tight and cinematic, giving each page a natural rhythm that draws readers into the unfolding drama. The colouring by Laura Martin complements the art perfectly, with rich earth tones and atmospheric contrasts that reflect the tone of the ‘Verse.

What makes Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #2 especially compelling is its grounded, character-first approach to world-building. It isn’t just space battles and Alliance operatives—it’s the quiet moments of loss, hope, and solidarity that elevate the narrative. Whedon’s dialogue rings true to each character’s voice, making it feel like a genuine continuation of the series.
