More like 3.5 star rating. But I know I can sometimes be overly critical depending on my mood. I am enjoying the plot, but find that sometimes the writing is a miss. The art is hit or miss with me as well. But overall fun to look at. It’s a delightful read, and I’m able to envision my goblin king’s origin story as a film in my mind... I feel like more would have been better .. more details a longer version of this story perhaps. More Jareth is never a bad thing.

Leaving this review on all three volumes!
What a lovely little series. Some great characters, more information the Labyrinth, and a touching conclusion - with gorgeous art.
I do have a minor quibble with trying to humanize/redeem Jareth, but it's not enough to really take away my overall enjoyment of the series.
If you're a big fan of the movie definitely check these out!

A beautiful prequel to the Labyrinth movie!! Well prequel kinda since this is happening both during the movie and in the past. Super interesting history of Jareth!! It’s weird because we know she’s destined to fail as Jareth becomes the goblin king, but I’m curious how this plays out.
A great start to a series and I need the second right now!
Edit: Read volume 2 and now I need 3!! So good and the twist?! Awesome.

Finally a back story on the goblin king and it’s actually really good, I was so scared that a prequel to my favourite childhood story would be terrible but I’m so glad it’s good. the art is amazing and recommend any one who loves the labyrinth or work of Jim Henson to read this

So I don't know what I was expecting but this graphic novel series shows two storylines side by side - what we know happened in the movie with Jareth and Sarah and an eerily similar storyline that takes place nearly two centuries prior starting in Venice, Italy. A young woman is bound and determined to save her baby from the Owl King after her cowardly husband offered up their baby to the demons in her head. The Owl King is looking for a successor and thinks letting Maria into his labyrinth to search for her baby might provide amusement to his goblin subjects before the new successor takes the throne. Only he doesn't count on Maria being so quick-witted and determined on getting her baby back. The storyline is a little so so - but the artwork is top notch!

The middle one is probably my least favorite. Things get more muddled and suddenly the the cowardly husband is involved again and we find out that the goblin who has been assisting Maria, might have some dark secrets that he is hiding. I like the little worm and that storyline, but there is just a lot of moving pieces to this story.

All in all an interesting take on the Goblin King's back story. I appreciated the love that went into this story and although it's not where I would have taken it - it's certainly satisfying and extremely unique. I like the very final scene and I love the little goblin that has been the thread between all three volumes. The art is gorgeous and maybe after I re-watch the movie I will appreciate this even more. A quick fun ride back into the labyrinth.
