BOOM! STUDIOS' FIREFLY SPECIAL
BOOM! Studios has announced a March 29 release for Firefly: Bad Company #1, the first over-sized special issue from the company's continuation of Joss Whedon's sci-fi epic.
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"Writer Josh Lee Gordon and artist Francesco Mortarino reveal the secret origin of the most beloved Firefly characters in the 'Verse -- Saffron! Journey through the early days of Saffron's life, before her fateful 'marriage' to our Captain Mal, and how she's connected to the bounty currently on Mal's head in the pages of Firefly."
"Though we only meet Saffron briefly, it's a testament to the richness of Firefly and its world that she remains endlessly compelling all these years later," said writer Josh Lee Gordon. "The original series remains a tremendous influence on my work, and I'm thrilled by this opportunity to contribute something of my own to the 'Verse."
The issue features a main cover by Diego Galindo and a variant cover by Jamal Campbell.
"Saffron is one of the most fascinating characters in Firefly -- in just a handful of appearances, she rocketed to fan-favorite with the perfect mix of charisma, cunning and controlled chaos that makes us want to know what quickly became clear was unknowable...neither by us, nor by Saffron herself. But what we do know is that shefs not someone to be crossed, and her drive to survive by any means necessary makes her one of those most dangerous characters our crew has encountered," said editor Jeanine Schaefer.
"Josh and Francesco are digging into not just who Saffron is to the people in her life, but why she wears those faces and what it means for her past, present and future. This is just the beginning of BOOM! Studios' plans to dig deeper into the untold stories from Firefly that fans have demanded'''and Saffron has a big role to play in 2019!"
BRIEFLY
BUFFY VARIANT: BOOM! Studios has unveiled Matthew Taylor's variant cover for Buffy the Vampire Slayer #3, in stores on March 13.
"If you think you know the story of Buffy Summers, think again -- not only will her relationship to Spike and Drusilla be fundamentally different than we've ever seen before, but it'll affect all her closest friends -- and, if the kids still say this, her frenemies -- in different ways," said editor Jeanine Schaefer. "Matthew Taylor's cover hints at the danger that's literally lurking around every corner, and sets the stage for an explosive final chapter of this first arc that no one -- seriously, no one -- could ever guess."
