First Look at 'Firefly' #2 Cover by Lee Garbett

The new Firefly series continues in December with a new cover from Lee Garbett.

Garbett is known for work on series like Skyward. He provides two covers for Firefly #2. The full-color main cover shows a close up of Malcolm Reynolds reaching for his gun.

Take a look below.

The second version is a variant cover that shows Garbett's artwork with inks only, as seen below.

"From the minute we received this cover, we knew Lee had created something instantly iconic," said Jeanine Schaefer, executive editor, BOOM! Studios. "It's the pure distillation of both Firefly and Mal: style, danger, and a little bit of cheek...a perfect package for the story where you'll learn just how he became the man we know and love, and sometimes love to hate."

The new Firefly series is written by Greg Pak (World War Hulk, Mech Cadet Yu) and drawn by Dan McDaid (Judge Dredd), with creator Joss Whedon serving as story consultant. Boom has also released a preview of the first issue.

"There's a special kind of magic that makes the best Firefly stories - something that Greg and Dan have perfectly captured in this new series," Schaefer said previously. "Fans will see new sides of Mal, Zoe and the crew of Serenity as we explore not only what it means to fight a war...but also what it takes to survive one."

Firefly is set 500 years in the future following the events of the Unification War, a galactic civil war in which the Alliance defeated the Independents. The series follows the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that is constantly on the move.

Serenity's captain, Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds, was one of the "Browncoats" who fought for the Independents against the Alliance. Now he just hopes to keep his crew fed and his ship flying, even if that means skirting the law.

But it turns out Mal's past isn't done with him. After an easy heist job goes wrong, Mal is forced to face his past in the form of the Unificators, a group of mercenaries deputized to hunt down war criminals, including Mal and Zoe. Now, Mal's search for redemption may cost him his ship and his crew.

"Our story will reveal key experiences for Mal and Zoe during the Unification War that you've never seen before," Pak said when the series was first announced. "And we'll introduce entirely new corners of the star system with characters, organizations, and subcultures that are absolutely true to all the world-building you know but absolutely brand-new at the same time."
