Good news,
Firefly fans! Boom Entertainment is launching a fresh comic book series set in the world of Joss Whedon's classic sci-fi TV show. But this won't just be any regular
Firefly storyline — this one,
Firefly: Brand New 'Verse, jumps two decades into the future and will focus on Emma, the young daughter of Hoban "Wash" Washburne (Alan Tudyk's character) and Zoe "Zo" Alleyne (Gina Torres's character). Featuring an all-new cast of space cowboys, the project is being written by Josh Lee Gordon (
Firefly: Bad Company) and drawn by Fabiana Mascolo (
Yasmeen).
In this timeline, Emma is now the captain of the Serenity (the iconic spaceship once owned and operated by Nathan Fillion's Malcolm Reynolds) and must prove herself to Zo, along with "a new crew of castaways and misfits just trying to stay afloat," reads the official synopsis. "But when Serenity takes a job from a familiar face, they discover that their new, living, breathing cargo is far more than they bargained for...and might bring them into conflict with Alliance once again!"
