Firefly (Boom! Studios comics)

Firefly is an ongoing line of comic books published by Boom! Studios from 2018. It is a canonical continuation of Joss Whedon's Firefly television series, the 2005 film Serenity, and Dark Horse Comics' Serenity comics, which are all part of the Firefly media franchise.^[1]

In mid-2018, Entertainment Weekly announced that Boom! Studios had assumed the Firefly license from Dark Horse Comics. Joss Whedon, creator of the original television series, will act as story consultant. Boom! Studios has also reprinted the Dark Horse stories in omnibus volumes.^[2]
