Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths, Volume 1 by Brian Froud
3.0
Some fans will love this simply because of what it it, however, Creation Myths feels very inconsistent. At times I felt immersed in the world of the Dark Crystal and at others it felt like I was reading something completely different.
A real hilight of the narrative was the focus on Augra, which felt true to her character and did a good job of expanding on the lore of the world. Her son Raunip was also a welcome addition to the story and the art style was very nice.
In saying this, the short stories about the Gelfling felt unnecessary and offbeat. They did not reflect the world we have come to know and love but felt separate from it. I particularly found the pages of text unfit for the comic medium and broke my immersion in the story.
Some parts are good...some aren’t...That’s pretty much it.
