A review by librarianryan
Jim Henson's The Power of the Dark Crystal, Vol. 1 by Kelly Matthews, Nichole Matthews, Jim Henson, Simon Spurrier, Juan Useche

4.0

Welcome back to the world of the Dark Crystal. Originally this was to be a movie sequel, but after that fell through, i am SOOOOOOOOOO happy that it was made into a graphic novel so I can delve back in and gush and gush and gush.

This story picks up 100 years after the events of the movie. Jen and Kira are still around as the leaders, or almost deities of the Thra, but things are not smooth. The Crystal is losing its light. A fireling has come to this land to seek help and a shard of the crystal to help heal his own land.

I am loving every bit of this graphic novel. The art and colorwork is amazing. The story, while similar to TDC is different, and we meet new characters. However, 100 years is a long time, and the gelfling are not as nice as they once were. I can not wait to continue this series.
