Notes from the Firefly/Serenity Chronology
I have placed this story shortly after the events of
"Return to
Earth-That-Was" Part 12 since our protagonists encounter
a portal ring in this story, first introduced in the "Return
to Earth-That-Was" storyline.
Didja Know?
This is a 10-page comic book story that appeared as an exclusive bonus
in the Firefly: Blue Sun Rising Deluxe Edition
hardcover,
published by BOOM! Studios in 2021. It ends on a
cliffhanger, and I don't know if the story has ever been
resolved.
Characters appearing or mentioned in this story
Leonard
Chang-Benitez
Chang-Benitez Gang
marshal
Queen of the Night/Maggie
Queen of the Night gang
Serenity crew (mentioned only)
"Infernia" gang
Didja Notice?
The first two pages of the story take place "five years ago"
on Bethlehem, when
Leonard Chang-Benitez was leading the Chang-Benitez Gang.
Bethlehem is a moon of the 'Verse first mentioned in
"Clipped Wings".
The remaining eight pages take place "now", with Leonard now
teamed up with former rival gang leader
Queen of the Night/Maggie. The
Serenity makes a cameo appearance on pages 3-4, but
Maggie betrays the Serenity crew and fires on the
ship, leaving it damaged so the Alliance pursuers will chase
Serenity instead of her ship, which she is on with
Lenoard.
After betraying
Serenity, Maggie's
ship falls through a portal ring that seems to be of the
same type seen in the
"Return to
Earth-That-Was" storyline.
The story ends on a cliffhanger,
with Leonard and Maggie captured by a gang on an unknown
world. It may not be in the 'Verse since Maggie's ship fell
through a portal to get there.
