The comic picks up decades after the original film and once again follows original The Dark Crystal characters Jen and Kira, as they deal with the hardships of ruling Thra.
As reported by THR, a 12-issue sequel comic titled The Power of the Dark Crystal will release in 2017.
The first issue of The Power of the Dark Crystal releases February 15, 2017, kicking off a recognition of The Dark Crystal’s 35th anniversary.
Despite the lukewarm response and disappointing box office returns, Henson and The Dark Crystal writer David Odell did discuss many potential ideas for a sequel that never came to fruition.
