It’s been 15 years since Joss Whedon’s beloved, but short lived, series Firefly last aired original episodes. Now Boom! Studios has released details about its new ongoing series written by Greg Pak (World War Hulk) and drawn by Dan McDaid (Judge Dredd) with Joss Whedon as story consultant.
Here’s what Greg Pak had to say about it, "Our story will reveal key experiences for Mal and Zoe during the Unification War that you’ve never seen before. And we’ll introduce entirely new corners of the star system with characters, organizations, and subcultures that are absolutely true to all the world-building you know but absolutely brand-new at the same time.
"It’s a huge tribute to the creators of the original show that their rich, intriguing world and hilarious, compelling characters could inspire so many additional stories. We’ve gotten the incredible go-ahead to do something particularly special in this new series — we’re digging deep into the Unification War, the galaxy-shattering event that shaped so many of our central characters. Many of the show’s central themes revolve around the way everyday people handle the threat of tyranny, the trauma of war, and the danger of falling into villainy when resisting a world run by villains. We’re getting the chance to reveal essential truths about our heroes’ pasts and put them through experiences in the here and now that they’ve never fully dealt with before. As a fan of the show who adores these characters, I can’t wait.”.
The series is set to debut in November, so dust off your knitted caps and brown coats as we get ready for another shiny trip into this universe.
