A brief, semi-origin of Boss Moon.
Notes from the
Firefly/Serenity
Chronology
This story of Boss Moon's semi-origin
actually takes place seemingly shortly after the end of the
Unification War, but I've placed it later in the chronology to
take advantage of her introduction to the crew of Serenity
in the previous three issues of the Firefly comic book
(beginning in
"War Criminals").
Didja
Know?
This 8-page story appeared in
BOOM! Studios Free Comic Book Day
2019 #1, which featured a Firefly story and a Buffy
the Vampire Slayer story. Both series were created by Joss
Whedon.
Characters appearing or mentioned in this issue
Sheriff Akin
Boss Moon
Baker
Reilly
Didja Notice?
The story opens on the planet Barstow, the first mention of
this planet in the 'Verse.
The creature that attacks the sheriff and which Boss Moon kills
appears to be a gigantic wild boar, presumably mutated to
giant size from stock brought from Earth-That-Was long ago.
The Alliance ship that comes to Barstow to recruit Moon to
the Unificators appears to be a Tohoku-class
cruiser
(seen previously in "The Train Job"
and "Bushwhacked").
