Mal’s trusted lieutenant Zoë is taking the spotlight in a new comic book from BOOM! Studios. Titled Firefly: Zoë Alleyne Year One, the new book is written by Sam Humphries, with art by Giovanni Fabiano.
“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 Humphries via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “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.”
In the book, we’ll get to see one of the first meetings between Mal and Zoë as a bank heist leads to a fateful team-up between the duo.
“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,” added 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!”
The book will also feature colors by Gloria Martinelli and covers by Ejikure and Suspiria Vilchez. It will hit stores on November 20, 2024.
