LOS ANGELES, CA (November 9, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios announced today thatFIREFLY\u00a0#1<\/strong>, which brings the iconic worldwide pop culture phenomenon back to comic books in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, has sold out at the distributor level before arriving in comic book shops on November 14th.<\/p>\n

To meet this overwhelming demand from fans,\u00a0FIREFLY #1 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT\u00a0<\/strong>will arrive in stores on December 12th with an all-new cover by Kirbi Fagan (Star Wars: Han Solo<\/em>) featuring everyone\u2019s favorite miracle worker – Kaywinnet Lee “Kaylee” Frye.<\/p>\n

New York Times 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 Joss 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

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled by the response from retailers and fans to this crucial new chapter in theFirefly<\/em>\u00a0mythology, as Greg and Dan finally address the elephant in the room: what really happened during the Unification War?\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cFrom here on out, we\u2019re moving at a breakneck pace, asking tough questions about the controversial decisions Mal and Zoe have made, and introducing important new characters who\u2019ll make you think differently about what you think you know about Serenity\u2019s crew.\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

FIREFLY #1 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT<\/strong>\u00a0is available exclusively in comic shops (usecomicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one) on December 12th.<\/p>\n
