New Firefly Comic Series from Mark Russell Lands in 2026, Published by Dynamite
Browncoats, buckle up for a long wait: Dynamite Entertainment just announced a new Firefly comic series, but fans will have to wait until September 2, 2026, to get their hands on it.
Acclaimed Eisner Award-winning writer Mark Russell, known for his satirical takes on established IPs like Superman: Space Age and The Flintstones, is helming the project. Russell’s sharp wit and intelligent storytelling feel like a perfect match for Firefly’s unique blend of space-western grit and moral ambiguity. Lorenzo Re, known for his work on The Terminator, will bring the Serenity crew to life as the series artist.
The story kicks off with Captain Mal Reynolds desperate for cash to keep Serenity flying. Meanwhile, Simon and Kaylee attempt a heist disguised as a married couple, only to find an old caper returning to haunt them. It sounds like classic Firefly mischief and the kind of high-stakes, character-driven drama fans crave.

Catzye Take
That 2026 release date is a real gut-punch for fans eager for new Firefly content. What's interesting is the move to Mark Russell, a writer with a strong voice and a knack for subverting expectations, which could be exactly what a long-dormant franchise needs. Fans will want to keep an eye on how much creative freedom Russell has.
