BOOM! Studios announced today\u00a0JIM HENSON\u2019S THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE<\/strong>, a new twelve-issue comic book series based on a story from Netflix series\u00a0The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance<\/em>\u00a0writers Jeffrey Addis and Will Matthews, introducing the untold histories of key characters from the show, and featuring explosive events tying into the highly anticipated Netflix series \u00a0from The Jim Henson Company,\u00a0The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance<\/em>, in stores September 25, 2019.<\/p>\n

Enter a world of wonder, danger, and excitement with writer Nicole Andelfinger (Adventure Time<\/em>) and artist Matias Basla (Sparrowhawk<\/em>) 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.<\/p>\n

The Dark Crystal\u00a0<\/em>is the groundbreaking 1982 film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, featuring never-before-seen puppetry in a fantasy adventure about a young Gelfling who embarks on a quest to save his world from the vicious Skeksis by restoring the lost shard of the broken dark crystal. A prequel television series,\u00a0The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance<\/em>, will premiere on Netflix on August 30, 2019.<\/p>\n

Studios, as well as the\u00a0Munchkin\u00a0<\/em>series for Simon & Schuster, based on the popular card game from Steve Jackson Games.<\/p>\n

“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\u00a0The Dark Crystal\u00a0<\/em>has such a strong legacy, even to this day!\u201d said writer, Nicole Andelfinger. \u201cWhen I was offered the chance to play in that sandbox, exploring the facets of that conflict through some pivotal\u00a0AGE OF RESISTANCE<\/strong>\u00a0characters, 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.”<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0Sparrowhawk<\/em>, written by Delilah S. Dawson and published by BOOM! Studios.<\/p>\n

“The\u00a0Dark Crystal<\/em>\u00a0universe is something that has always fascinated me, from its unique artistic design to its history. Having the opportunity to work on\u00a0AGE OF RESISTANCE<\/strong>\u00a0with such awesome characters and such a unique world is a joy as an artist.\u201d said artist, Matias Basla. \u201cThis is the kind of project that one faces with much love and respect, and I\u2019m very happy to be the artist for this amazing series.”<\/p>\n
