Firefly is an upcoming comic book series published by Boom! Studios. It is scheduled for release on November 14, 2018 along with Firefly: Legacy Edition, Book One, which collects earlier comics under one cover that were published by Dark Horse Comics. The series is being created by writer Greg Pak, artist Dan McDaid, and Joss Whedon as story consultant.
The story will show how Mal and Zoe met and their mission in the Unification War, with "the good and bad that the pressure of war brings out in them, and the unforeseeable consequence", according to Whedon. The publisher's description included the following synopsis:
- "Mal thought he could outrun his past, but when a simple heist goes wrong, he’s forced to confront it in the form of the Unificators, mercenaries deputized to hunt down war criminals…and they’ve got Mal and Zoe at the top of their list! War can make villains of even the best men, and Mal’s 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."
