Firefly #18

A rifle planted bayonet-down in rocky soil, topped with a soldier's helmet and draped with dog tags — it's the timeless battlefield tribute rendered in Firefly's sun-scorched amber and red, evoking the heavy cost of the 'Verse's wars. A weathered photograph of soldiers and a spent ammunition belt complete the somber still life, suggesting that the past is never far from the crew of Serenity. Greg Pak and Lalit Kumar Sharma continue "New Sheriff in the 'Verse" with this sixth chapter, and Marc Aspinall's quietly haunting cover sets a reflective, elegiac tone for wherever "Cops and Robbers" is headed.
