The Power of the Dark Crystal is a 2017 comic book limited series that is a sequel to 1982 film The Dark Crystal.[1] This series has a sequel, Beneath the Dark Crystal.
For decades, a sequel for the 1982 film The Dark Crystal had been planned as a motion picture, but ended up being adapted into a comic instead.[2][3]
The unproduced screenplay was by David Odell, Annette Odell and Craig Pearce.[4]
It is set years after the events of the 1982 film where the Dark Crystal was healed and peace was restored on Thra. The world is faced with needing to reignite a dying sun at the center of the planet. The story of Power of the Dark Crystal follows the adventures of a young Fireling named Thurma, together with Kensho, a Gelfling outcast, that steal a shard of the Crystal of Truth in an attempt to reignite the dying sun.[5]
The comic received a mostly positive reception from critics.[6][7][8][9]
