Jim Henson's Beneath the Dark Crystal (Single Issues) #1

by Adam Smith, Alexandria Huntington (Illustrator), Benjamin Dewey (Illustrator)

Writer Adam Smith (Jim Henson's Labyrinth 2017 Special) and artist Alexandria Huntington (Avengers Origins) present a new sequel to the hit film! Arriving at the Crystal Castle where he was once a lowly acolyte, Kensho is asked to accept the responsibility as leader of Thra. But he will have to rectify sins of the past before he can decide if he—or anyone—is fit to rule. Meanwhile, the realm of Mithra is being rebuilt by the newly-crowned Ember Queen Thurma, whose own quest to decide the future of her land is thrown into question when another Fireling makes a claim as the true heir to the throne.

I found a bunch of Dark Crystal books and comics on Scribd and decided to gobble.

This storyline takes place probably 100 years after the movie and is set both on Thra and in the underworld fire kingdom of Mithra.

I am not too familiar with this Dark Crystal series, although I remember the movie coming out when I was in high school. I enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like a new world that I don't know a lot about. We'll see if I keep reading the series. After book 2 (which I read), I am going to wait until the library has a bunch of copies in a row...................

SO delightful. I honestly can't think of any other comic or graphic novel whose' artwork i adore more. The characters are so likable and the storyline is fun and easy to follow. Love this series to pieces.

I feel like I jumped into the middle of the story, but this is a SA run, so ... 🤷🏻‍♀️
