I'm relatively new to the Dark Crystal world, but I am loving everything I've come across so far. This comic is no different. The art is adorable, the new look into what was going on before the show is interesting and I love that we get to know more about Rian's dad. All in all, a fun read for sure

Nunca he sido muy fan de Cristal Oscuro, me daba mucho miedo, pero la nueva serie se ve preciosa y este comic está a la altura de esa belleza. Además presenta un historia que parece interesante. Vamos a ver que tal.

I thought this was a wonderful first issue for Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I haven't watched the new Netflix series yet, but The Dark Crystal is one of my favorite childhood movies. I recently watched it with my son and realized I'd forgotten about some of the darker aspects of the story -- whoops! He said it wasn't too scary, but that he didn't want to watch it again, haha.

New Gelflings are introduced, familiar creatures make an appearance, and we see a world that existed before the destruction that led to The Dark Crystal. Skeksis are portrayed as protectors, although I suspect they have ulterior motives based on what I already know about them. Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was a solid first issue that has me looking forward to the next one!
