Exclusive: New Firefly Prequel Story To Eventually Share Malcolm Reynolds' "YEAR ONE" Secret Origin
At last, Captain Mal Reynolds is providing the conclusive origin narrative that Firefly aficioners have been waiting twenty-two years for. Mal's past is still mostly unknown today since neither the fleeting program nor the later film version provided a suitable, whole foundation for the character. Set to provide fans of the cult-favorite sci-fi western more than simply a fresh story set in the Firefly Universe, Malcolm Reynolds: Year One #1 — written by Sam Humphires, with artwork by Giovanni Fabiano, in his comic book debut The narrative will expose the reality of how Malcolm Reynolds became the person viewers developed such close connection to on television.
Apart from greatly expanding Firefly knowledge, Year One offers an opportunity to explore some unexplored plot potential for decades. Boom! Studios and author Ryan Parrot's forthcoming Firefly one-shot investigates an other universe whereby the Brownshirt side prevailed in the conflict.
Boom! Studios Firefly Comics Reveal Origin Story of Mal Reynolds
Neither Firefly nor Serenity explored Malcolm's pre-war past, leaving the specifics of his early years among main riddles the fans yearn for solutions for. Boom! Studios Year One aims to do precisely that. Based on the information now available on the series, Mal will be instantly identifiable in many respects. As the official request for the premier issue states:
Malcolm Reynolds has always been a troublemaker, even coming from an improbable background. Becoming a Browncoat was always meant to be. But on that road to him being the Captain that fans know and love, what unanticipated challenges await? To him gathering and guiding the Serenity spacecraft crew? Or as Year One writer Sam Humphries put it: telling the formative years of Mal and the first year of the Unification War was an honor. Regretfully for him, the battle is not as glorious as we have been told. Giovanni murdered it, of course; when you read this book, you may say you saw him when. Boom! Studios has previously explored Firefly mythology with the Unification War series and now with Malcolm Reynolds: Year One, the publisher transports readers even deeper as Humphries noted.
Firefly Fans Are Long Overdue To Discover Captain Mal's Origin
One of the main letdowns of Firefly's brief on-screen life is that the series never had the chance to really explore the individuals at the core of the show, therefore failing to completely resolve their tales. The show never had time to explore each character's motivations—especially those of its lead. Readers will now learn for the first time the particular turning moment in Mal Reynolds' life that brought him into the conflict, therefore fundamentally recontextualizing what viewers already know from Firefly and perhaps inspiring readers to rewatch in a different light after reading.
Malcolm Reynolds: Year One #1 will be released from BOOM! Studios on September 4. Set in 2517, Firefly chronicles the crew of the Serenity, a contraband ship functioning on Alliance periphery. Veteran of a civil war, Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) is angry at having fought for the losing side and now makes his living as an outlaw smuggler out among the far-off colonies forgotten and neglected by the Alliance. But after accepting paying passengers, Mal discovers he is enmeshed in a plot probably meant to bring down the whole Alliance military on him and his crew.
