Jim Henson's Return to Labyrinth, volume three

Photobucket

After a long, LONG wait, volume three is finally out. I can't say I was itching with anticipation to read it, and the artwork still really bothers me (but I suppose it's too late now to change the artist). At the rate Tokyopop is going, we probably have to wait another year or so for the last volume, if it comes out at all.

The danger in Toby's life is rising; nothing is really as it seems. We learn where Moppet came from, why Sarah changed so much (shedding fairy tales and dreaming for the droll life of an average adult), and even the truth behind Mizumi's supposedly loyal daughters. Jareth is wandering the streets, a lost soul, while Sarah feels a sad yearning for something she didn't realize she'd ever needed the most. After Toby is corronated, things move to their worst amidst war and betrayal. What will become of everyone?
