I... I don't know how to feel about this.... Shocked? Scared? Slightly disgusted? Did anyone else know about this?

I saw that in the comic store the other day. The art looked nice, but when I started to flip through and read it, it was kinda boring. Then again, I'm one of the few people that doesn't like Labyrinth >_>

I rather liked that movie (although I didn't care for David Bowie's costume). I might check it out.

Why can't they ever just leave a good thing alone? The entire premise of that manga defeats absolutely everything Sarah worked for. Which REALLY bothers me, since her final speech to Jareth ('You have no power over me') has huge personal meaning for me.

I think I'm going to treat this like Princess Diaries 2 and pretend it doesn't exist.

The very fact that such a thing exists amuses me. After reading through it in a bookstore, however, neither the story nor the artwork interested me very much.

If I recall correctly, there will be a prequel manga to The Dark Crystal coming out soon, too.

Well, the art looks nice...However, since I've never seen Labyrinth and have no knowledge of the storyline, I can't say whether I'm excited/disappointed/etc. I can, however, say that I think it's stupid to make a manga version of an American movie. I'm curious to see what they'll do with the manga version of The Dark Crystal, though. I have good memories of that movie, though I've only seen it once. ^-^

Yeah, I'm kinda looking forward to the Dark Crystal manga too. I think it was a better movie than Labyrinth, but that's just me.

I'm not sure whether to think it's awesome or terrible.

well someone wrote a fanfiction of this that is really famous it's called Dark Labryinth and it tells about how Sarah returns to the City and falls in love with Jareth...It actually won a really prestigious award....

Ugh! David Bowie's pants! Need I say more? That ruined Labyrinth for me. The Dark Crystal was more uh... appropriate and rocked!

I saw a preview of it online...I dind't think it was that bad!! I have been looking all over the place for it...but I can't find it in any bookstores! I looked in St. Louis, Kansas City...at my own bookstore... *sob*

I might have to special order it, but I don't like doing that, it ruins the fun.

There's enough room for both Labyrinth and Dark Crystal on my shelf.

Either way it must be stated; Jim Henson rules!
