LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0#MalCrushMonday returned as BOOM! Studios today unveiled a new look at\u00a0FIREFLY #1<\/strong>, arriving in comic book shops on November 14th and bringing the iconic worldwide pop culture phenomenon back to comic books in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products.<\/p>\n

Now get your new look inside\u00a0FIREFLY #1<\/strong>, the all-new series revealing the secret\u00a0Firefly\u00a0<\/em>history that fans have demanded for years!\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/em>best-selling writer Greg Pak (World War Hulk, Mech Cadet Yu<\/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<\/em>\u00a0and more), tell the definitive story of the Unification War, the intergalactic civil war that divided friend and family alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cMal has always been classified as a lovable rogue,\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cBut in revealing his past, we\u2019re able to really dissect that, to accept him at his worst as well as his best. Greg and Dan are crafting a story that really springs out of what made the show great: that these characters are complex and flawed, and that their faults make them as much of who they are as their strengths. The war wasn\u2019t kind to Mal, but neither was he kind in it, and it\u2019s going to inform how his crew — and the reader — \u00a0see him.\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

Mal thought he could outrun his past, but when a simple mission goes wrong, he\u2019s forced to confront it in the form of the Unificators, mercenaries deputized to hunt down war criminals…and they\u2019ve got Mal and Zoe at the top of their list! War can make villains of even the best men, and Mal\u2019s quest for redemption will put him at odds with his own crew, forcing him to make a choice: fix the past or fight for the future.<\/p>\n
