No Power in the ‘Verse Can Stop the Crew of the Serenity at BOOM! Studios this Fall

Attention all Browncoats! Return to the ‘Verse this Fall as superstar Marvel and DC writer Sam Humphries (Legendary Star-Lord) teams up with artist Jordi Pérez (All-New Firefly) and colorist Francesco Segala (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) to bring you FIREFLY: THE FALL GUYS–a new six-issue limited series filled with assassins, jobs gone wrong, and organized crime!

 

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…

 

SAM HUMPHRIES is a writer and television host. He has written over 200 comic books, including work in the Harley Quinn, Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises. His other work includes the critically-acclaimed original comics Blackbird, Jonesy, and Goliath Girls.

For Kabam, in collaboration with Marvel Entertainment, he wrote the video game MARVEL CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS, which has accumulated over 215 million downloads globally. His debut prose work, The Youngbloods with Gwenda Bond and Kami Garcia, was launched on Audible in June 2023. He lives in Los Angeles with his cat, El Niño, and can be found online at samhumphries.com.

 

“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!”

 

JORDI PEREZ is a comic book artist based in Ourense, Spain. In the last three years he has worked for BOOM! Studios on Firefly; Dynamite comics on James Bond, Red Sonja,Vampirella, Rocketman and Rocketgirl, and Xena; Vault Comics on Queen of Bad Dreams; Ahoy Comics on Cryptid Story; Z2 Comics on Hotel Diablo, and Machine Gun Kelly. He has also worked with smaller independent publishers and Kickstarters.

 

“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!"

Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä Debut the FINAL CHAPTER of ABBOTT

BOOM! Studios has announced ABBOTT: 1979, a new series from Miles Morales: Spider-Man mastermind & Eisner Award-winning writer Saladin Ahmed and acclaimed artist Sami Kivelä (Machine Gun Wizards). Jump back into the action of the hard-boiled trilogy’s final chapter in October 2023.

On the eve of the 1980s and the Reagan Administration, Detroit is burdened with an oppressive darkness–both political and supernatural. Dejected and tough tabloid reporter Elena Abbott, who previously defeated the occult forces responsible for her husband’s death, must dig herself out from rock bottom if she’s going to save Detroit from the Umbra, one last time… Elena will have to contend with the dark cloud hanging over Detroit… and over her own life.

ABBOTT: 1979 #1 features a main cover by Taj Francis (Wonder Woman) as well as variant cover art by acclaimed artists Justine Florentino (Grim), Nimit Malavia (Dead Boy Detectives), and more!

Saladin Ahmed is the Eisner-award winning writer of Miles Morales: Spider-Man, The Magnificent Ms. Marvel, Black Bolt, Terrorwar, and Starsigns. He was nominated for the Hugo and Stoker awards for the first volume of ABBOTT, which was also named a Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan. 

"I couldn't be more excited to bring you the next (and final!) chapter in the saga of hard-nosed reporter Elena Abbott, sorcerous savior of the city of Detroit,” said Ahmed. “ABBOTT: 1973 left Elena in a grim place, and things have only gotten worse since -- for her and her beloved city. Now Detroit itself is being consumed -- eaten alive by the Umbra. And it will take all Elena's got to keep her own spark from being snuffed out. From the beginning I've imagined ABBOTT as a three-act story, and I'm positively thrilled to team with the awe-inspiring Sami to bring this story to its epic conclusion." 

Sami Kivelä is a comic book artist from Finland. In addition to Abbott, you may recognize him from titles such as Undone By Blood, The Heathens, Machine Gun Wizards, Beautiful Canvas and Everfrost.

“It’s always a pleasure to return to Detroit with Elena. I hope the readers are as excited about ABBOTT: 1979 as I am!” said Kivelä.

Readers can find ABBOTT & ABBOTT 1973 softcovers available everywhere books are sold. While investigating police brutality and corruption in 1970s Detroit, journalist Elena Abbott uncovers supernatural forces being controlled by a secret society of the city’s elite. In the uncertain social and political climate of the city, hard-nosed, chain-smoking tabloid reporter Elena Abbott investigates a series of grisly crimes that the police have ignored. Crimes she knows to be the work of dark occult forces. Forces that took her husband from her. Forces she has sworn to destroy.

“We’re beyond thrilled to be working with Saladin and Sami again to bring ABBOTT back for its final chapter,” said Executive Editor, Eric Harburn. “Ever since the series debut in 2018, Elena’s journey has been a prescient, harrowing look at American society through the lens of Detroit – and ABBOTT: 1979 carries on that tradition in brilliant and unexpected ways.”

ABBOTT: 1979 is the newest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including BRZRKR by Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, and Ron Garney; Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera; Once & Future by Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora; Wynd by James Tynion IV and Michael Dialynas; Grim by Stephanie Phillips and Flaviano; Briar by Christopher Cantwell and Germán García; Stuff of Nightmares by R.L.
