LOS ANGELES, CA (December 11, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at\u00a0FIREFLY #3<\/strong>, arriving in comic book shops on January 16th. New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak (Star Wars, Ronin Island<\/em>) and artist Dan McDaid (Judge Dredd<\/em>), along with series creator & story consultant \u00a0Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slayer<\/em>, Marvel\u2019s\u00a0The Avengers\u00a0<\/em>and more) continue the iconic worldwide pop culture phenomenon\u2019s sold-out return to comic books in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products.<\/p>\n

As the crew learns the shocking truth about the actions of their leaders in the Unification War, they find themselves splintered and more vulnerable than ever to the Unificators . . . and an enemy they never expected. Now, discover the untold origin of their leader Boss Moon as she puts her plan into effect to extract revenge on the two people who ruined her life \u2013 Mal and Zoe.<\/p>\n

FIREFLY #3<\/strong>\u00a0features a main cover by Lee Garbett (Skyward<\/em>), along with variant covers by Garbett, Joe Quinones (America<\/em>) and Marguerite Sauvage (Archie<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always known that Mal and Zoe had to make tough decisions during the Unification war, but Boss Moon is the living embodiment of the consequences. As we learn more about her connection to the captain and his first officer, we\u2019ll also see that sometimes the lines between heroes and villains is even thinner than we ever imagined,\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cFirefly<\/em>\u00a0has always explored the nuances of the people we choose as family and how we forgive the past without forgetting it. This is the issue where we\u2019ll see just how strong the bond between the crew really is \u2013 and discover more about the past that has defined Mal and Zoe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Created by Whedon and set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war,FIREFLY<\/strong>\u00a0centers on the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that doesn’t have a planet to call home. Captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds, a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the totalitarian governed Alliance, will undertake any job \u2014 legal or not \u2014 to stay afloat and keep his crew fed. Thrust together by necessity but staying together out of loyalty, these disparate men and women are seeking adventure and the good life, but face constant challenges on the new frontier, such as avoiding capture by the Alliance, and evading the dangers you find on the fringes of the universe.<\/p>\n

FIREFLY #3<\/strong>\u00a0is available January 16th exclusively in comic shops (usecomicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one) or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.<\/p>\n

Available now,\u00a0Firefly: Legacy Edition Book One<\/em>\u00a0collects previously released Serenity comics for the first time under one cover in a new value-priced format as Mal & the crew ride again in these official sequels to the critically acclaimed Firefly television series and Serenity film.<\/p>\n

FIREFLY<\/strong>\u00a0is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Joss Whedon\u2019s\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Planet of the Apes, Abbott, Mech Cadet Yu, Grass Kings,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Klaus<\/em>.<\/p>\n
