Discover the Secret Hidden Past, Present, and Future in FIREFLY HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1 in December 2021
BOOM! Studios revealed today a first look at THE FIREFLY HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1, an oversized special one-shot out December 2021. Celebrate the holiday season with your favorite Browncoats in this self-contained special by Emmy and Eisner Award-winning writer Jeff Jensen (HBO’s Watchmen, Better Angels: A Kate Warne Adventure), artists Vincenzo Federici (Go-Go Power Rangers), Jordi Pérez (Firefly), Fabiana Mascolo (Firefly: Brand New ‘Verse), colorists Francesco Segala with color assistance by Gloria Martinelli, Lucia Di Giammarino, and letterer Jim Campbell.
It’s the holiday season and Jayne’s selfish behavior receives the unwanted attention of three visiting spirits who reveal the hidden past, present and future of Serenity’s most…miserly crew member. A beloved character returns as the Ghost of Firefly Past, while a fellow crew member guides Jayne through the here and now, showing the consequences of his actions in the present. But it’s the Ghost of Firefly Future, Emma Washburne, who reveals the most shocking fate of all. Can Jayne turn over a new leaf and avert the disaster headed his way?
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 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 ‘verse.
THE FIREFLY HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1 features main cover art by acclaimed illustrator InHyuk Lee (Seven Secrets) and variant cover art by fan favorite artists Caitlin Yarsky (Coyotes) and Daniel Warren Johnson (Murder Falcon) with by Mike Spice.
