I'm jazzed for it. I think Greg Pak is an interesting choice. I'm not a big Planet Hulk fan, but I've enjoyed the Totally Awesome Hulk stuff I've read. And the Mal/Zoe relationship is something I'm particularly interested in seeing more of.

Fox acquired a "significant minority stake" in BOOM! Studios, which is probably why they wanted them to have Firefly rights, although I'm not really sure what that means in light of the Fox/Disney deal. Maybe there's no longer a reason for them to care. BOOM! is reprinting the old Serenity Dark Horse comics in a new collection, so I can't imagine that leaves Dark Horse with anything Firefly-related. I expect we'll be seeing Firefly comics exclusively from BOOM!.

New Firefly Comic Book Cover Showcases the Women of the Serenity

The crew of the Serenity have never looked better.

By Jesse Schedeen The Firefly franchise is finding a new home at comic book publisher BOOM! Studios, and on this latest #MalCrushMonday, we have an exclusive first look at one of the covers for the first issue. Check out this image by artist Joe Quinones, which spotlights Mal Reynolds and the heroic women who keep the Serenity chugging along.

While he wasn’t very familiar with the Firefly TV show before signing on (although, he clarified, he loved the Serenity movie), Dan McDaid was “excited straightaway” to work on the comic. At first, it represented “the chance to work with Boom!, the chance to work with Greg Pak, and an opportunity to draw lots of cool [stuff] like cowboys and spaceships.” Then once the official announcement dropped, he found another source of excitement for the comic: the Browncoats.

“The Browncoats are everywhere,” he said. “People I would never have expected to be Firefly fans came out and said, ‘Ahhh! I love Firefly!’ and ‘I’d give my right arm to work on that!’ It was a huge reaction that I really, really didn’t expect…Even the local newspaper wanted to talk to me about it.” Considering McDaid lives in a small post-industrial city that was voted one of Scotland’s most “struggling” cities, making it into the paper for drawing the Firefly prequel comic was no mean feat.

As I understand it, the Legacy book is just reprints of old Dark Horse comics (and weirdly, it doesn't even say which ones, as far as I can tell). The possibly signed print could be cool, but... what is it a print of? I'm jazzed to read Firefly #1, but do I really need NINE variant covers (8 + the box set exclusive)? I bet all of that variant art will be collected in the first trade anyhow.

I can't wait to get my hands on Firefly #1, but I think I'm just going to get the single issue for now and (almost definitely) the first trade whenever it comes out. Are other folks thinking of picking up the Big Damn Heroes box?

So this is a bit interesting - Fox are working on a Buffy reboot TV series (which has Joss on board as a producer) and have taken back the Buffy comic book licence from Dark Horse:

At the same time, they've taken back the licence for Firefly comics. Now obviously this could just be them tidying up their options, getting everything back in house in one fell swoop. But maybe...

It is... a comic book. I mean, definitely a Firefly comic book.

I would put it on par with the Dark Horse comics, probably comfortably mid-pack (so far).

For comparison, I rate the Dark Horse comics in the following order:

1-Those Left Behind - a good "Season One finale" and bridge to the movie

2-Better Days - a fun "lost episode" that might rate #1 if the conclusion weren't marred by some logic flaws

3-No Power in the 'Verse - mostly harmless. Some interesting ideas, but ultimately lightweight stuff.

4-Leaves on the Wind - tremendous potential here that remains largely unfulfilled.

5-Float Out - good as a "wake" for Wash, but overall, doesn't add much to the 'Verse.

6-The Shepherd's Tale - some stories should remain untold. This was one of them.

I have not included the shorter one-shots, and, looking at the list, it strikes me that Brett Matthews was able to get far more story out of 3 issues than other folks did with six. Given that the new comic is supposed to go 6 or 8 issues (I think), that doesn't inspire confidence.

It's hard to judge based on one issue, but my guess would be that it will rank somewhere around Better Days or No Power in the 'Verse, as an entertaining - but perhaps lightweight - "missing episode." They've chosen to focus on the "secrets of the Unification War," which, to me, at least, seems less interesting than focusing on the current situation and interactions of the crew. Time will tell.

Although there are some nice moments, I have not been especially impressed with this new series so far. At least the Dark Horse stuff had the legitimacy of being done by folks who worked on Firefly or were Whedon's brother. To me, this feels almost like the early era Star Wars comics from Marvel - written by folks who didn't really know the "master plan" (only not as good).

I know Mal and Zoe's "horrific crime" was cited, but even in this issue, it was very much hand-waved away as "that's not the full story," and I'm sure when the full story comes out, Mal and Zoe will look like heroes. Additionally, I find the apparent timing a bit problematic, since it seems to imply that Mal and Zoe were pretty tight very early in the war, which seems to run counter to what we know in the series (where their mutual respect evolved over time - indeed, in the flashback from The Message, Zoe doesn't seem especially impressed by Mal).

Hopefully, the next few issues will pick up. I will say that the OTHER plotline - the one not mired in war-related backstory - provided a nice twist, and I'm interested in seeing where that goes.
