A review by neilrcoulter
Jim Henson's the Power of the Dark Crystal Vol. 1, Volume 1 by Simon Spurrier
2.0
I love the film The Dark Crystal, but I’ve held off on reading the recent graphic novel series because I’m not sure the movie needs to be expanded into a sprawling mythology. Sometimes it’s okay for a good story to be just a good story, not an enormous, ever-expanding world.
This first volume of The Power of the Dark Crystal takes place 100 years after the events of the film, and to be honest, it’s disappointing that it seems to be the same story again, with slightly different characters. It also feels like this whole book is a long, long exposition that only just introduces some bigger ideas for the story.
