I'll admit to forgetting much of the story between the first and second volumes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...but the artwork is detailed, the story action-packed, and I got a huge kick out of "Cible," the hot pink revolutionary caterpillar. Such a bizarre, creative, and humorous character--I hope she remains in the story.
I enjoy seeing this new take on Labrynth, and the new and old characters. It's a good homage to the film while being fairly original.
I feel compared to the first volume we moved at a much slower pace. Some of it felt repetitive, but I still love the story and characters. Cible is just, the, best.
Holy cannoli. When I first picked up this series, I was worried it might ruin my childhood. And while it did not do that, it didn’t make it any better. This is a story within a story. Most people picking up this read are children of Bowie who dreamed of joining him in the labyrinth as a goblin, or a Sarah to take their place beside Jareth as queen of the Underworld. The books pick up as Sarah enters the labyrinth to rescue Toby. One of the goblins who is tasked with caring for Toby decides to te...
The middle one is probably my least favorite. Things get more muddled and suddenly the the cowardly husband is involved again and we find out that the goblin who has been assisting Maria, might have some dark secrets that he is hiding. I like the little worm and that storyline, but there is just a lot of moving pieces to this story.
Disclaimer: the same review has been written for both volume 1 and volume 2 of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Coronation as I read them both in a single sitting. There is a third volume, however, I haven't yet been able to get my hands on it.I haven’t really read any graphic novels/ comics so I’m a bit confused on how to format a review for them. However, I will start with the fact that I think the art within these is absolutely beautiful. The colours are so vibrant and they really capture the atmosphe...
CAWPILE rating: 4.57/10STAR rating: ★★½I think this is very much a case of 'this isn't necessarily objectively bad, I just don't like it all that much' to be honest. Not a huge fan of the backstory they've given Jareth, though the Owl King is cool and I enjoyed seeing the labyrinth arrange itself for someone else.
These comics I devour in a day. I love reading about the backstory of Jareth and the Labyrinth, but I just feel like the series is still.. lacking. The original story, the book based on the film, was infinitely better.But then I’m a sucker for Jareth and Sarah. Labyrinth is my favourite film of all time ❤️
This was a good, if frustratingly brief, continuation of the story started in volume 1. It's only four issues collected, so it's a quick read. I continue to look forward to the conclusion of Maria and Jareth's story.
2.5 Stars. Invested in this second volume even though I didn’t love the first one simply because I’m on a Labyrinth kick, and at a $25 price point, I regret it a little bit. It’s a lot more Alice in Wonderland than the movie, and while that concept is fun, this series kind of feels like someone took a concept they wanted to write and drew some Labyrinth characters into it and called it a day. They don’t seem to understand the world the film developed beyond reusing bits of it — the “ello” worm a...
This series annoys me. It could be done in one graphic novel. I hate things that end in cliff hangers it makes me angry. If this wasn't a jim henson thing and based on his characters the cliff hangers would be a huge turn off and I would not bother picking up the other part of the series. But it is a really good stort cute. Not as brilliant as henson's story telling but its pretty good.
Continues to be an inventive and insightful expansion of the mythos of the original film, full of wit and whimsy. I'm sad it ends after the next volume.
3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️Not gonna lie, this volume was a pretty big let down after having enjoyed the first so much. Alas, we can’t have everything, can we?
I’m hands down a Labyrinth fan since I was suuuuuper small. Haha Reading these graphic novels explaining how Jareth came to be where he is, is riveting. I’m not sure how many are in the series but I will continue to read them ❤️❤️
This story has some very unique and sort of insane characters but what can you expect from the court of the goblin king.
I know, I know, I am so biased when it comes to anything "Labyrinth" related. Obsessive, even (given that I have all of the individual comics as well as the hardback volumes collecting 4 each). But, I have to say that I loved this volume. The artwork continues to be really good, with hints towards the original film (the character Cible here, has echoes of the worm that Sarah meets in the film, but with little differences). The two stories continue to work well together, with Jareth telling the s...
This run just gets better and better from the first volume. There feels like there a growing depth to this universe and I'm left with a wondrous feeling of possibility for this world and a real connection to the characters. This book series took a strange and underrated film and managed to expand the mythos into something that feels compelling and highly readable. I can't wait for the final volume.
Great continuation from Vol One. I love this original story and how it is interwoven into the events of the movie. Cannot wait to see the conclusion in Vol Three.
Don't know why I didn't review this when I bought it and devoured it last year! Just love this trilogy, since Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite movies!
It's a really good story, and I'm invested enough to be impatient waiting for the next installment to arrive at the library!I'm really anxious to find out how Maria's determination fits in with what we (think we) know about Jareth.
