[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]“FIREFLY is about to reveal one of the most iconic stories in the franchise’s history, and we wanted to commemorate it in the biggest damn way possible,” said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. “With two incredible box set exclusive covers and the chance for a rare, signed print by Joss Whedon himself, the FIREFLY BIG DAMN HEROES BOX is a must for any hardcore Browncoat!”
Created by Whedon and set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war, FIREFLY centers 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 — legal or not — 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.

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.
FIREFLY #1 is available exclusively in comic shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one) on November 14, 2018.[/vc_column_text][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_image image=”16880″ size=”full” align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][us_separator][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_image image=”16881″ size=”full” align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_image image=”16882″ style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_image image=”16927″ size=”full” align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_image image=”17049″ size=”full” align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_separator][vc_column_text]Arriving in stores the same day, FIREFLY: LEGACY EDITION BOOK ONE collects 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.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_image image=”16883″ size=”full” align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_separator][vc_column_text]FIREFLY is the latest release from BOOM!
