In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, return to the world of Thra in an official sequel to the beloved fantasy film. Discover an all-new race of creatures called Firelings that live in a realm near the planet's core, based on official character designs by Brian Froud. Years have passed since the events of the original film, and though Jen and Kira have ruled Thra as King and Queen, bringing Gelfling back to the land, they have become distracted by power and can no longer feel or see the needs of the world the way they once did. Thurma is a young Fireling tasked with stealing a shard of the Dark Crystal to restore power to her realm. Along the way she'll befriend the young Gelfling Kensho, bring back the Skeksis and Mystics, and embark on one incredible adventure.

Reviews

There have been at least two attempts to launch a film sequel to the Dark Crystal. They both fell apart. This is one of them, now presented in comic form. The story is easy to follow, the art clean if unremarkable, but your enjoyment may be bolstered or burdened by your knowledge of the original. If you're deeply into the world of Gelfling, Mystic, Skeksis, Pod People, and landstriders, there's heartbreak to be had in what has happened in the 100 years since the crystal was healed. If you understand how religion can work in the real world, you'll get the 'why' behind the 'how' things have fallen.
