The new BOOM! Studio Dark Crystal comic book series, which will debut on September 25, will provide background on the origins of the characters in the Netflix series and will feature explosive events that will tie into to the highly anticipated prequel saga for the 1982 cult classic Dark Crystal film.

Nicole Andelfinger (Adventure Time) is writing the new Boom Studios’ Dark Crystal series with Matias Basla (Sparrowhawk) handling the art chores.  The first issue of Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will feature a cover by illustrator Mona Finden, and a variant connecting cover by Kelly and Nicole Matthews (R.L.
