BOOM! Studios will kick off the first ever comic book Firefl💝y event in Firefly: Blue Sun Rising #0, a September special from New York Tiཧmes best-selling writer Greg Pak  and artist Dan McDaid along with story consultant Joss Whedon, of course the creator of the original TV series the comic book is based on. 

"Mal and the crew take on 🐬the shadowy organization that’s haunted their steps all along — Blue Sun Corporation," reads BOOM!'s description of the special. 

"Sheriff Mal Reynolds has a new partner — a law-enforcing robot from the Blue Sun corporation, who doesn't care about motives, mercy, or anything other than enforcing the law — no mཧatter the cost. The Blue Sun Corporation has helped to run the 'Verse from the shadows for years, but they’re ready to step into the light and take over.  

Created in collaboration with 20th Century Studios, Firefly: Blue Sun Rising #0 features a main cover by Nimit Malavia along with variant covers from artists Christian Ward, Caitlin Yarsky, and more.

"Firefly is set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war, ဣcentering on the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home," reads BOOไM!'s description. 

"Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds, a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the totalitarian governed Alliance, will undertake any job — legal or not — to stay afloat and keep his crew fed. Thrust together by necessity but staying together out of loyalty, these disparate men and women are seeking adventure and the good life, but face constant challenges on the new frontier, such as avoiding capture by the Alliance, and🐽 evading the dangers you find on the fringes of the universe."
