Firefly Comic Explores the history of Hoban “Wash” Washburne

BOOM! Studios, in collaboration with 20th Century Fox, today announced FIREFLY: WATCH HOW I SOAR, an all-new graphic novel revealing the untold stories of Wash’s extraordinary life, from his early days planetside to his time on the spaceship Serenity and beyond.

Acclaimed comics creators Ethan Young (Nanjing: The Burning City), Jorge Corona (Middlewest, Nightwing), and more reveal the answers to questions that fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly have demanded – and others they never thought to ask!

Everyone’s life can change in an instant- and for Hoban “Wash” Washburne, pilot of the spaceship Serenity, he’s just realized… he’s about to die.

What’s this Firefly Comic about?

As Wash’s life flashes before his eyes, he revisits the most important, never-before-revealed moments in his life, from growing up on a planet so ravaged by pollution that no star could shine in the sky to meeting the woman of his dreams in Zoë Alleyne, who would become his wife and create a life with him beyond his wildest imagination.

In those final moments, Wash will reach out to connect with a surprising someone he never thought possible…proving that some bonds transcend this mortal coil.

Spokesperson and Executive Editor, Jeanine Schaefer had the follow to comment on this upcoming release:

“From the moment we first met him playing with his toy dinosaurs, Wash has been one of the most beloved members of the Firefly crew, and WATCH HOW I SOAR gives us everything we ever wanted to know about our favorite hotshot pilot and space husband.

“We’re excited to explore this new ground that fans have been asking us to cover. Get ready for some very big stories you’d never imagine we could tell.”

FIREFLY: WATCH HOW I SOAR is scheduled to be available in November 2020 at comic shops or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. With Digital copies from comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Madefire.

But with the ongoing impact of the current global health crisis, the final release schedule of this series is subject to change.
