Firefly #8

Set against the sun-scorched canyon landscapes and twin moons of the 'Verse, this 2019 BOOM! Studios entry in Greg Pak's Firefly run delivers a cover that crackles with tension. Lee Garbett's artwork places a curly-haired figure in a long coat front and center, rifle leveled at a lone man standing his ground in the dusty distance — two people, one standoff, zero easy answers. It's the kind of frontier-flavored confrontation that makes Joss Whedon's universe feel as alive on the page as it ever did on screen.
