Firefly Reveals the Truth Behind Wash's Return From the Dead ✖ Firefly fans now know the truth about the return of Wash. Last month's issue of BOOM! Studios' ongoing Firefly comic book series jumped forward in time and is now telling tales set after Serenity's events, including Wash and Shephard Book's deaths. That made it especially surprising when Zoe ran into her deceased husband after spotting a job posting in his name. Firefly #26 supplies an explanation for Wash's resurrection, and it is sure to divide fans who either hoped for Wash's return or thought the idea was a misstep for Firefly.
