Matias Balta captures the world of The Dark Crystal visually in this issue. Everything looks amazing and all of the characters are dynamic throughout. I love how this first issue looks and hope this aesthetic carries over throughout the series. Read Full Review
Nicole Andelfinger clearly has a good grasp on this world and who these characters are, and Matias Basla's art is just perfect for Jim Henson's world. I'm really excited to learn even more about Thra's history and Ordon and Fara's part in it, in particular. Read Full Review
