Firefly was an ongoing line of comic books published by Boom! Studios from 2018, set in the universe of the Firefly media Franchise. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Dan McDaid, this series submerges into the themes of family, loyalty, identity, and redemption focusing on the early experiences of Malcom Reynolds during the war that shaped his future as captain of the Serenity.[1] It is a canonical continuation of Joss Whedon's Firefly television series, the 2005 film Serenity, and Dark Horse Comics' Serenity comics, which are all part of the Firefly media franchise.[2]

In mid-2018, Entertainment Weekly announced that Boom! Studios had assumed the Firefly license from Dark Horse Comics. Joss Whedon, creator of the original television series, will act as story consultant. Boom! Studios has also reprinted the Dark Horse stories in omnibus volumes.

Boom! Studios did not renew their license for Firefly in 2025. They cancelled the series Firefly: Zoë Alleyne Year One,[3] which was previously announced for release in 2025.[4]
