Sam Humphries and Giovanni Fabiano are to tell a new origin of Firefly's Zoë Alleyne, first mate of Serenity, in a new comic book launching from Boom Studios in November, Firefly: Zoë Alleyne Year One.

"War between the Alliance and the Browncoats is hell, but when a bank heist is abandoned for a fateful team-up between Mal and Zoë, an altruistic bond is formed that sets the stage for the future fans know and love! "Zoë is one of my favorite members of the Firefly crew, so it was a thrill to reveal how she became the Browncoat we all know and love today," said writer Sam Humphries. "But the Unification War is a nasty, brutal era of history. No one comes out the way they came in, and Zoë is no exception. Giovanni's art elevates this story to the level of a blockbuster. It's dynamic, kinetic, and complex, just like Zoë herself." "As a fan of the series, this story captivated me so much that I was hooked until the end of the script, eager to find out what happened next," said artist Giovanni Fabiano. "I am very proud to have brought Sam's exceptional writing to life, contributing to a story that deeply engaged and entertained me while drawing it!"

Firefly: Zoë Alleyne Year One #1 will be available in comic shops on the 20th of November 20, 2024.
