The comic book sequel to the classic Henson film The Dark Crystal recently ended. So now that “The Power of the Dark Crystal” is over, it’s time for another miniseries!
Beneath the Dark Crystal is another 12-issue comic series coming from Archaia, beginning this July. The series will be written by Adam Smith with art by Alexandria Huntington. The official description is as follows:
Kensho arrives at the Crystal Castle where he was once a lowly acolyte and is asked to accept the responsibility as leader of Thra. But he will have to rectify sins of the past before he can decide if he – or anyone – is fit to rule. Meanwhile, the realm of Mithra is being rebuilt by the newly-crowned Ember Queen Thurma, whose own quest to decide the future of her land is thrown into question when another Fireling makes a claim as the true heir to the throne.
The first issue will feature a cover by Benjamin Dewey (seen above), with variant covers by David Petersen (seen below) and Ramón K. Peréz (seen later, we presume).
We’ll bring you more info about the series as we get closer to July, so stay tuned!
