Firefly #18

FIREFLY #18, available now from BOOM! Studios, brings the tale of Sheriff Malcolm Reynolds ever closer to it’s inevitable conclusion. While their journey has taken unexpected twists, there’s no denying that this is the crew that fans have fallen in love with.

The infamous outlaw himself has become a sheriff, though everyone in the ‘verse should know that this is not a title he’s going to hold for long. After all, Malcolm Reynolds has always been one for pushing his luck.

Firefly #18 brings fans back to this strange journey, one that takes beloved characters and puts them on a journey like no other. It’s sometimes strange, picturing them on these adventures that are so different from the original series.

While it has been interesting seeing this new side of things, it’s hard not to hope for a rare sighting of the rest of the crew. Mal has taken center stage, with the occasional appearance from Kaylee, Jayne, and Inara.

That leaves fans wondering: What is the rest of the crew up to? Where are the siblings (River and Simon), where are Walsh and Zoe, and where’s Shepherd Book? These characters have rounded out the team on more than one occasion, and their loss is keenly felt.
