A review by midnarose
Jim Henson's The Power of the Dark Crystal, Vol. 1 by Kelly Matthews, Nichole Matthews, Jim Henson, Simon Spurrier, Juan Useche
dark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
It was lovely going back to the world of the dark crystal and seeing some of the old original characters from the movie.
However, I found it hard to like the new characters (i know for some of them that was the point)
I rated this vol 3 stars for a warming up i look forward to see how the plot develops to give a final verdict for this series. This first vol was very much introducing the players and setting up the plot.
For a brief summary its been 100 years since the movie the dark crystal, Jen and Kira have ruled and brought a long period of peace but now they are old and haven't been involved much in the daily workings of the world. Bring in a new character who comes from the firelings a clan living in the center of Thra. She asks for help but through misunderstandings and confusion Chaos ensues. Now the question is who is right and who is wrong and can Thra be saved.
