Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is an eight-issue comic series published by BOOM! Studios between 2019 and 2020. The comics are set in the world of Thra, the same setting as Jim Henson’s 1982 film The Dark Crystal and the 2019 Netflix prequel series of the same name. Adam Cesare wrote the series, which tells stories that complement the Netflix show’s narrative about the Gelfling uprising against the Skeksis.
The eight issues expand on characters and events from the show, giving readers more time in Thra than the single-season Netflix series provided. The comics follow various Gelfling characters as they resist the Skeksis’ draining of their life essence, with the visual style drawing on both the puppet aesthetic of the original film and the updated designs from the Netflix adaptation.
For fans of The Dark Crystal who wanted more after the Netflix series was cancelled, these comics offer additional stories in that world. They can be read alongside the show or on their own, though familiarity with the basic premise of Gelflings versus Skeksis will help. All eight issues were published within about a year.
