JIM HENSON’S THE DARK CRYSTAL:

AGE OF RESISTANCE #1

The Official Tie-in Series to Netflix’s ‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’ in September 2019

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 19, 2019) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at JIM HENSON’S THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE #1, the first issue in a new 12-issue comic book series, available in September 2019, introducing an explosive story leading up to the events of The Jim Henson Company’s new Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Writer Nicole Andelfinger (Adventure Time) and artist Matias Basla (Sparrowhawk) delve into the secret history of the world of Thra and its inhabitants before the Age of Resistance. 

Meet Maudra Vala of the Stonewood Clan, mother of young rebel Maudra Fara, and a Gelfling leader trying to save her people from complete destruction. The terrifying Arathim, giant spiders and the Gelfling’s sworn enemies, have swarmed the land, wreaking destruction and chaos everywhere between Gelfling clans and Arathim as they battle for dominance over the forests and caves of Thra. Maudra Vala sends her greatest warrior, Ordon, to the Tomb of Relics to retrieve a mythical weapon that could be the key to winning the war. But the path to the legendary relic is riddled with secret traps and hidden dangers. Will even Ordon, greatest of Gelfling warriors, be able to make his way alone to the Stonewood Clan’s last hope for survival?
