This September, BOOM! Studios is releasing a tie-in comic series for Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance via their Archaia imprint. The comics will lead into the Netflix series, so they’re more of a prequel than the prequel. The series will run for 12 issues and is written by Nicole Adelfinger with art from Matias Basla. Here’s the synopsis:
“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?”
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance #1 will drop on September 25 at your favorite location to purchase comics and you can check out a preview below including a timeline that explains where everything lands for what is becoming The Dark Crystal franchise.
