FIREFLY #24, available Wednesday from BOOM! Studios, continues the first crossover event for a series that has long held a special place in our hearts. Malcolm Reynolds and crew are up against a new foe, and it is their strangest one yet.
For a time, it seemed like Firefly would happily continue onward in comic book form, focusing on the past. Meaning that there would be few changes made to the plot or characters that we know so well.
Now, the series has started forging ahead, taking risks, and generally altering the series that fans know so well. For good or for ill, at least it’s a series that is still trying to take those grand risks, and do something different with what is available.
Firefly #24 is set in a nebulous point in time, where the crew is still together (and alive), yet the Alliance seems to be out of the way, or at least not as strong as they have previously been. Unfortunately, that left a void that Blue Sun Corporation stepped into. There’s a new big bad here, and they’re just as bad. If not worse.
The Blue Sun Rising Crossover event only has one issue left to its story. Blue Sun Rising #1. There’s still a bit left that needs to be explained, including how the crew survives what is about to happen next.
The next plot starts up in Firefly #25, which is set to jump ahead to a point following the events of Serenity…which probably means it’s time to say goodbye to certain characters all over again.
