A thousand years ago. The planet Thra. When the Crystal of Truth shattered, two new races appeared in the land, the cruel and malevolent Skeksis, further tainting and wielding the corrupted crystal for their own ends, unnaturally extending their lives–a twisted existence to match their monstrous visages. Their counterpart, the gentle, wise, and kind urRu, more commonly known as Mystics, await their final fate in the Valley of Stones, where they harbor the last known living Gelfling… a young orphan named Jen. The classic 1983 adaptation from writer David Anthony Kraft (The Savage She-Hulk) and artists Bret Blevins (The New Mutants, Star Wars Legends) & Vince Colletta (Thor) of the timeless and much-beloved Jim Henson film The Dark Crystal is lovingly restored and presented in hardcover as part of BOOM! Studios’ Archive Edition line! Collects The Dark Crystal #1-2.

More classic team-ups starring the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing from the Fantastic Four!For sixty years and counting, the Thing has been one of Marvel’s most beloved icons! The exploits of the Fantastic Four’s ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing have always been defined by finding the biggest bad guy available and walloping the heck out of him. But the stories that open the penultimate MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE MASTERWORKS take a more urgent tone as the Thing races to find anyone and everyone who can save his compatriot Giant-Man from the ravages of cancer. It’s a moving saga that reveals the heart of the FF’s gruffest member. The Thing will also give you a dose of the action you crave, battling micro-sized gladiators alongside Ant-Man, slinging suds (and knuckles) with Sandman and even seeing if he can help Machine Man and Jocasta put a dent in Ultron’s adamantium exterior!COLLECTING: MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE (1974) #83-93
