Dawson (Sparrowhawk) and acclaimed artists Pius Bak (The Magicians: Alice’s Story) and Rodrigo Lorenzo (WWE: Undertaker — Rise of the Deadman) arriving in stores November 2019 that sends the women of Firefly on the ultimate heist!
Saffron — the enigmatic rogue who captured the hearts of Firefly fans worldwide, as well as the heart of Captain Malcolm Reynolds — returns to the Serenity. But this time, she’s got no time for Mal, as she’s there to recruit the women of the ship to join her on a heist that has personal stakes for all involved. The cunning grifter joins forces with Zoë, Inara, Kaylee, and River to pull off the greatest theft in all the ‘verse! What could possibly go wrong?
Delilah Dawson is the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Phasma as well as the Hit series, the Blud series, Servants of the Storm, the Shadow series (written as Lila Bowen), the Tales of Pell (co-written with Kevin Hearne), and the upcoming Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire and The Skywalker Saga. Her creator-owned comics include Ladycastle and Sparrowhawk with BOOM! Studios and the upcoming Star Pig with IDW, and she’s written in the worlds of Marvel Action Spider-Man, Adventure Time, Labyrinth, The X-Files, Rick and Morty, Star Wars Adventures, and Star Wars Forces of Destiny.
“ ‘A him gets noticed, a her gets ignored.’ That’s the quote from Ocean’s 8 that really captured my imagination. I love that idea—that women can use our occasional invisibility as a superpower.” said author Delilah S. Dawson. “I’ve been a Firefly fan since I saw Serenity in the theater in 2005 and rushed out to buy the DVD set that night, and it’s been a pure joy cracking open each of these unique, powerful women to see what she desires, what she fears, and how far her loyalty to Mal can stretch. Have you ever wondered what Zoë, Kaylee, Inara, and River would do without a single man in the picture? Thanks to Saffron’s wiles (and threats), you’re about to find out.”
