For convenience of publishing the 12 issue series has been released as three books of four issues each.

Each book is beautifully presented in oversized hardcover with quality glossy paper which highlights the sumptuous and glorious artwork. It's lush, colourful and draws you into the weird and wonderful world of Thra.

An official sequel to the original film it's well written with two new characters at the heart of the adventure. Thurma, a Fireling girl and Kensho, a Gelfling boy. Can they work together to save two worlds or is everyone doomed and will the Skeksis be back to rule once more?

A quick and immersive read. It was so enjoyable to be back in this fantasy world.

This was a good continuation to the first volume 
It starts off exactly where the last ended 

the story is continuing where we left off 
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. In this Volume the characters are learning from each other and starting to see each others perspectives.

Volume 2 does not suffer from the second book slump. But is that even a thing with graphic novels? This smoothly continues from book one. This time our team of heroes are on a quest to the firelands to put back that shard. Loving this series.
