Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal Volume II: Creation Myths

Publication Date: March 12, 2013
Whenever I review a comic or graphic novel, I usually ask the opinion of my partner and resident comic book expert, Mike. I definitely did for this one, which I got mostly for his benefit anyway. Although the art was pretty, I'm not familiar with The Dark Crystal at all (I've never seen the movie) so this comic made no sense to me. So it's not a completely stand-alone book. Mike, on the other hand, is a huge fan of the Jim Henson movie. Here's what he had to say:
"Good stuff, definitely has the feel of the world of the movie, at an earlier time period. Wouldn’t make sense to a reader who had not a) read the previous volume, or b) like me, watched the movie a bunch of times. Pretty, and the illustrations of many of the animals and characters give a Henson creature feel of movement. I liked it."
So if you're a fan of the movie and you like comics (or graphic novels or whatever) you'll probably like this. If not, you might be a little lost (like I was).
