Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

In 2019, Boom! Studios expanded the world of Thra with this 12-issue comic series, set before the events of the Jim Henson film and serving as a prequel to the Netflix series. Written by Nicole Andelfinger with art by Matias Basla, it delves into the origins of the Skeksis' corruption and the Gelfling resistance, weaving a lush, tragic mythology. The series matters as a faithful expansion of Henson's dark fantasy, offering fans a deeper look at the lore and the fall of a once-thriving world.
