Jim Henson's The Power of the Dark Crystal #1
Jim Henson's The Power of the Dark Crystal #1 | Simon Spurrier, Phillip Kennedy Johnson
8 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, return to the world of Thra in an official sequel to the beloved fantasy film. Discover an all-new race of creatures called Firelings that live in a realm near the planet's core, based on official character designs by Brian Froud. Years have passed since the events of the original film, and though Jen and Kira have ruled Thra as King and Queen, bringing Gelfling back to the land, they have become distracted by power and can no longer feel or see the needs of the world the way they once did. Thurma is a young Fireling tasked with stealing a shard of the Dark Crystal to restore power to her realm. Along the way she'll befriend the young Gelfling Kensho, bring back the Skeksis and Mystics, and embark on one incredible adventure.

My afternoon read. I grew up loving The Dark Crystal and even watched the short lived series on Netflix (hate they canceled it) so I was looking forward to this graphic novel. The story takes place 100 years after Jen and Kira healed the crystal. After years of peaceful living they discover their planet Thra is sick and an alarming visitor shows up asking for help and threatening their existence.

It‘s been ages since I‘ve seen the film. This is apparently a sequel to the film, and I can‘t help but think it might have been helpful to watch it first. I loved the artwork but I still feel lost as to the plot. Here‘s hoping the next volume helps clarify. It gets a pick, though based on the art and nostalgia alone.

TheBookHippie It‘s on Netflix which I found out after 🤣🤣🤣 5y
DGRachel @TheBookHippie Is the original film on Netflix or just the new prequel series? 5y
TheBookHippie @DGRachel the new one on Netflix today we found the original on Amazon Prime I really should watch more TV 🤪🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ 5y

I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. I love The Dark Crystal and I wish this had focused more on Jen and Kira. Maybe the next two will. The illustrations were fantastic.

RadicalReader Watched the movie and it‘s really good but my favorite Jim Henson will always be the Labyrinth his son Brian Henson did the voice of Hoggle the companion to Jared the Goblin King 6y
