Coming Soon: Dark Crystal Age of Resistance Comic!

BOOM! Studios announced that a new comic book series is on the way based on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

The 12-issues series written by Jeffrey Adis and Will Matthews, will introduce the untold histories of key characters from the show, and featuring explosive events tying into the highly anticipated Netflix series.
Enter a world of wonder, danger, and excitement with writer Nicole Andelfinger (Adventure Time) and artist Matias Basla (Sparrowhawk) as they uncover an epic story from the world of Thra in the time before Age of Resistance. War and chaos reign over the once peaceful land and Gelflings everywhere must fight for the survival of their clans against menacing forces. When a Gelfling soldier sets off on a quest to retrieve the one item that could save their people, he changes the destinies of the inhabitants of Thra forever.
Nicole Andelfinger is a comic book writer who has written for series such as Adventure Time, Regular Show, Rugrats, and Steven Universe from BOOM! Studios, as well as the Munchkin series for Simon & Schuster, based on the popular card game from Steve Jackson Games.

“There’s something extraordinarily universal about the theme of good vs. evil that seems to speak to so many people from so many walks of life. It’s why I think The Dark Crystal has such a strong legacy, even to this day!” said writer, Nicole Andelfinger. “When I was offered the chance to play in that sandbox, exploring the facets of that conflict through some pivotal Age of Resistance, characters, well, I couldn’t say no! With Matias Basla’s beautiful art, I’m sure you’ll come to love and adore these new additions to the world just as we have.”

Matias Basla is an artist, designer, and illustrator originally from Santa Fe, Argentina. Basla has worked as a conceptual artist and character designer for different animation and video game studios, mixing this work with numerous comics projects. Most recently, he was the artist for the comic book series, Sparrowhawk, written by Delilah S. Dawson and published by BOOM! Studios.

The Dark Crystal universe is something that has always fascinated me, from its unique artistic design to its history. Having the opportunity to work on Age of Resistance, with such awesome characters and such a unique world is a joy as an artist.” said artist, Matias Basla. “This is the kind of project that one faces with much love and respect, and I’m very happy to be the artist for this amazing series.”
Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance #1 (of 12) features a main cover by illustrator Mona Finden and a variant connecting cover by artists Kelly and Nichole Matthews (R.L. Stine’s Just Beyond)

Age of Resistance will go deeper into the history of Thra and its inhabitants than ever before, making it an essential read for any fan of Jim Henson’s beloved film, but also illuminating the Netflix series in ways you won’t want to miss!” said Matthew Levine, Editor, BOOM! Studios.
