Firefly: The Fall Guys – a new limited series filled with assassins, jobs gone wrong, and organized crime. What peaceful Serenity…
Sam Humphries, Jordi Pérez and colourist Francesco Segala are putting Joss Whedon’s Serenity gang back together – who is left of them – to bring you Firefly: The Fall Guys – a new six-issue limited series filled with assassins, jobs gone wrong, and organized crime, from Boom Studios.
The crew is broke and out of luck. They’ll have to deal with some of their shadier associates if Serenity is going to keep flying. What seems like an easy job in town for half the crew quickly turns sideways when feds, untrusting locals, and a high-profile politician get thrown into the mix…

“So thrilled to be welcomed into the Firefly ‘verse. I love Westerns, so bringing the best bandits in the galaxy back to their buckaroo roots with a fantastic artist like Jordi has been a dream,” said writer Sam Humphries. “Don’t worry, there’s still a giant gorram spaceship in the first issue. Yee haw!”

“Although it’s not the first time I’ve worked on Firefly, each time is new and special,” said artist Jordi Perez. “Sam’s script is giving me a great time drawing lots of adventure and fun. The Western essence of the series will be VERY present. I hope you all enjoy it”.
FIREFLY: THE FALL GUYS #1 has a main cover by Francesco Francavilla (Night of the Ghoul), with variants by Justine Florentino (Grim), Ejikure (Batman:Urban Legends), and Ariel Olivetti (Cable).
“It’s always a joy to get to come back and spend time with Mal, River, and everyone else aboard the Serenity,” said editor Elizabeth Brei. “It’s like getting to visit old friends and see what other death-defying adventures they’ve been through. This one in particular won’t disappoint!”
Firefly: The Fall Guys #1 will be available in comic shops on the 6th of September 6, 2023
