I AM BACK FROM THE DEAD TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING EXCITING!!!

It was announced a few months back that BOOM! Studios will be releasing an anthology series with stories set in the worlds of various Jim Henson works; Labyrinth, Farscape, Fraggle Rock, and of course, The Dark Crystal

The covers for the first issue, which will release in January, have been revealed along with an Instagram reel teasing images from various stories, including…

THIS ONE

SKEKGRA AS THE CONQUEROR!!!

It seems we may be getting the full backstory of the Heretic and the Wanderer, or maybe this is him fighting alongside the Gelfling in the Garthim Wars? I think the former is more likely, but I can’t wait for the Dark Crystal stories of this anthology!! This has me even more excited for them!!

Omg

I was going through my old drawings and found this. Man, I wish the season 2 was real, I love the series so much

This is what I imagine Skekgra looked like when he was the conqueror👊

(also I believe him and the hunter were besties and you can’t take that from me😭)

For Pride month, I decided to do a redraw some old art of my favorite gay Muppets!

Absolutely the gayest thing ever is wanting to combine back with your other half of a soul to become an incorporeal being of pure light and alien magic!

Been wanting to do something with them for the longest time but never had a chance until now~ It’s going to be a charm with a layer of glitter epoxy ✨

Also not dead just been really busy with day job now :’)

NEWS ON THE SKEKGRA PREQUEL COMIC!!

So for those who don't know, BOOM! studios is releasing a comic series titled 'Jim Hensons Presents' which is said to include a collection of short stories from various Jim Henson properties, written and illustrated by various writers and artists. It will have four issues, with the first one releasing in January.

And in a trailer for the series, they revealed that we will get a Dark Crystal story focusing on Skekgra's backstory!

And since I'm incredibly hyperfixated on The Heretic and The Wanderer rn, I've been following the updates for this comic very closely. And, as I expressed in this post, I was very confused as to which issue the Skekgra story will be featured in, since different sources seemed to be implying different things.

But now, I've figured out why there was so much confusion, and the explanation is pretty exciting!

We aren't just getting ONE Skekgra short story, but a longer story spread out between multiple issues!

In an Instagram post by BOOM! studios, they revealed the short stories that will appear in Issue 1.

And as you can see, we got a Dark Crystal story titled 'The Wanderer' (obviously referring to Urgoh) that will be written by Seanan Mcquire and illustrated by Countandra. I assumed that was the Skekgra story.

BUT! The website League of Comic Geeks (as well as a few other websites) put this as the description of Issue 2.

At first, I thought this might've been a mistake, and maybe this description was actually meant for Issue 1 and the website just added it to Issue 2 by mistake.

BUT THEN! This website (https://majorspoilers.com/2024/12/21/boom-studios-for-march-2025/) released the synposis for Issue 3!

The fact that the description actually says 'CONTINUE' confirms that this will be a multi-part story!

This is great news because, although I tend to be as optimistic as possible about this kinda stuff, I was a bit worried that they wouldn't be able to satisfyingly cover Skekgra's backstory in a short story. But now that we have a longer story confirmed, I believe that this comic will do our boys justice!

(Also multiple releases helps to keep the fandom alive for longer.)

The first 'chapter' will probably focus on Urgoh's perspective before he met Skekgra, since its titled 'The Wanderer'.

Although I had my doubts about Issue 2 since it doesn't directly mention Skekgra in its description, cuz its in-between Issue 1 and 3 and is written by the same writer, I'd say it probably does follow on from The Wanderer. And may focus on the other skeksis as well as Skekgra.

Since Issue 3's description refers to Skekgra as 'The Heretic' I wonder if this is the chapter where he gets banished? Or just shown signs of heresy? Or maybe that's just what his character is more commonly known as in the fandom.

We don't have any information regarding the fourth issue, but I think it's likely this issue will contain the finale to the Skekgra arc since its the final issue.

Anyway, I am horrifically excited for this and I will keep you guys updated!

I already love the Boom comic though??

[marvel-starwarsfangirl]

Finished my 5th rewatch of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and I still adore it with all my heart. I cried again as well.

I’m so frustrated and heartbroken that we’re not getting a second season. Everyday I pray that it’ll get picked up by another network or get a book/comic sequel but that seems more unlikely with each passing day. I love this show and I’d say it’s in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.

It’s beautiful, fun, and has great characters. I’ll always revisit AoR if I need something fun to watch. I just wish we’d get to see the rest of the story.

I love The Dark Crystal and I’ll continue to sing its praises til the day I die
