Serenity will soar again. One of my most anticipated comics coming in 2014 breathes new life into this outer space corners of the Whedonverse.

Dark Horse Comics will pick up the story of Mal Reynolds and his crew in Serenity: Leaves On the Wind.

 

Writer Zach Whedon and artists Georges Jeanty (Buffy, The Vampire Slayer) continue with Mal, a pregnant Zoe, River Tam and the rest of outlaws’ story after the events of the Serenity movie when they exposed the universe to the corrupt government’s crimes against their own people.

Star Wars and Serenity United!

  One of my most anticipated books for Free Comic Book Day 2012 is the  Star Wars/Serenity flipbook from Dark Horse Comics. The publisher will delight two fan universes with one comic book.

 The Star Wars story will star Han Solo and Chewbacca. Serenity will feature Captain Mal Reynolds. New art and an interview with writer Zach Whedon (his brother Joss created the Firefly/Serenity universe) is on today’s Comic Book Resources.

  You might think Han and Mal might find a lot on common – if they weren’t competing for the same smuggling job but Whedon doesn’t see Reynolds and Solo getting along.

    “I think if they could get past their initial misgivings – Mal with Han’s shifty, smooth-talking nature. Han with Mal’s stoic solider routine – they’d have a lot to talk about. But I think it’s more likely they’d butt heads, possibly literally,” said Whedon.
