Joss Whedon's Serenity franchise is returning to comics this summer with a one-shot titled Float Out.

Written by comedian/actor Patton Oswalt and drawn by Patric Reynolds, the book consists of three shorts taking a look back at the life of pilot Hoban "Wash" Washburne.

"It's a eulogy, I think. Three of Wash's friends, who all flew with him at one time or another, are about to christen a new ship but find themselves at a loss for words when they try to dedicate it to him," Reynolds told Newsarama.

"After each story is shared, one common theme materialises - that Wash took care of his friends. No matter how much he grated on them or how much danger he had to put them through, he always put them above anything else."

The Serenity saga spans the television show Firefly, one feature-length movie and several comics series from Dark Horse.

Serenity: Float Out will be available from June 3.
