The "Previously" paragraphs on the inside front cover of
this issue reveal that Mal's beat as sheriff is the Georgia
Space Sector, i.e. the planets and moons of the sun Georgia.
Pages 1-11 take place roughly concurrently with the events
of
"New Sheriff in the 'Verse",
following Zoe and her crew instead of Mal. Page 12 picks up
from the end of "New Sheriff in the 'Verse".
On page 1, Wash reminds Zoe that Alliance forces recently
had a warrant out for her, so her face will be fresh on
their minds and she should hide in the back of the truck
while he handles the checkpoint. This refers to the recent
events that began in "Clipped
Wings" and led to the so-called Second Unification War
which "ended" in
"The Outlaw Ma Reynolds".
On page 5, the Blue Sun officer says, "Ay de mi."
This is Spanish for "Oh my."
Zoe now has a cargo shuttle she bought off of Lank
Darling. She and the non-bandit side of Mal's former crew
use the craft to return the bodies of dead Browncoats from
the Second Unification War to their families on various
worlds. Then they take the shuttle to try to find a safe place for
the crew and others associated with them to make a quiet
living without Alliance interference. |
