Exclusive Look at the New Adventures of the Biggest Damn Heroes in the \u2018Verse\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 8, 2019)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look atFIREFLY #5\u00a0<\/strong>from New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak (Star Wars, Ronin Island<\/em>) and artist Dan McDaid (Judge<\/em>\u00a0Dredd<\/em>), along with series creator & story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Marvel\u2019s The 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. Available in stores April 24, 2019.<\/p>\n

Finally, the crew of the Serenity is back together again, ready to escape this gorram planet and never look back. There\u2019s just one problem\u2014they left their captain behind! Mal\u2019s currently tied up on Boss Moon\u2019s shuttle headed straight for the closest Alliance outpost, where he\u2019ll have to sit trial for his war crimes and most likely hang for his actions during the Unification War. With Mal captured, a busted engine, and half the planet still on their tail, our favorite band of space thieves will have to pull a miracle out of thin air to reunite with their captain once again.<\/span><\/p>\n

FIREFLY #5\u00a0<\/strong>features a main cover by Lee Garbett (Skyward<\/em>), along with variant covers by Joe Quinones (America<\/em>), W. Scott Forbes (Lando<\/em>), and David Rubin (Rumble, Black Hammer<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always a wild ride with the crew of Serenity, but they do leave a bit of a trail throughout the \u2018verse made up of people they\u2019ve wronged and others who were collateral damage.\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios, \u201cSerenity is no stranger to grievances and murky pasts, but Mal and Zoe have always managed to pull their crew ahead of the trouble chasing them\u2014until now. How do you escape from your own past?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Created by Whedon and set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war,\u00a0FIREFLY<\/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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FIREFLY #5\u00a0<\/strong>is available April 24, 2019\u00a0<\/strong>exclusively in comic shops\u00a0(usecomicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one) or at the BOOM! Studios webstore.
