Joss Whedon's beloved sci-fi series Firefly is getting a new series from Boom Studios and now, we have our first look at the Serenity Crew's new adventures.
Boom has revealed the first interior art preview of Firefly #1, featuring the art of Dan McDaid.

Boom Studios' Firefly series is written by Greg Pak (World War Hulk) with art by McDaid (Judge Dredd). Firefly creator Joss Whedon is serving as ?story consultant.
Here's what Grek Pak said about the new series' story:
"Our story will reveal key experiences for Mal and Zoe during the Unification War that you've never seen before. And we'll introduce entirely new corners of the star system with characters, organizations, and subcultures that are absolutely true to all the world-building you know but absolutely brand-new at the same time.
"It's a huge tribute to the creators of the original show that their rich, intriguing world and hilarious, compelling characters could inspire so many additional stories. We've gotten the incredible go-ahead to do something particularly special in this new series — we're digging deep into the Unification War, the galaxy-shattering event that shaped so many of our central characters. Many of the show's central themes revolve around the way everyday people handle the threat of tyranny, the trauma of war, and the danger of falling into villainy when resisting a world run by villains. We're getting the chance to reveal essential truths about our heroes' pasts and put them through experiences in the here and now that they've never fully dealt with before. As a fan of the show who adores these characters, I can't wait.
It's been fifteen years since Whedon's TV series was canceled but I'm glad that they're expanding the franchise with this new comic series.
Firefly #1 will be available in stores on November 14.
