Welcome to Gaia! ::

I noticed that Labyrinth is a very popular word among this guild... so I thought everyone would appreciate this post.
For those of you who don't know, Jim Henson company signed with TokyoPop a while back to make a 4 volume mange series involving the Labyrinth characters!

General Plot Summary:
The Goblin King has kept a watchful eye on Toby: his minions secretly protecting the child. Legions of goblins work behind the scenes to ensure that Toby has whatever his heart desires, preparing him for the day when he will return to the Labyrinth and take his rightful place beside Jareth as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom.

Has anyone read this series yet?
If so, what do you think of it?
If not, are you interested?

Well reading all your reviews of the manga has opened my eyes to reading it. Im some what hard core with the movies of the 80's. I hope they never do a remake as its good as it is.

I might be interested in checking these out. I've never read a manga before (I mean, you do read them right? Is there a special word for that?) and I don't know much about it.

i love the original too but i want more to see because its david bowie cant get enough of him. it would be really cool to see something else because he'll be everywhere again and he's also hot. like i said we need more of david bowie on the tv so he is known for his work

When I looked at it in the store it seemed to weird and too different than the movie. I would've preffered a manga version of the original movie Labyrinth.

Oh, yeah, I have the first two volumes. We got them last year when my sister went to the Science and Technology Fair at the mall. I think they're okay. The problem is though, is that in the manga, they made Jareth look really young and pretty and everything, but then when you watch the movie, and you're like, "Am I the only one who notices that the entire plot of this movie is a 40 year old trying to chase down a 16 year old????" So you're trying to convince yourself that he's magic, so it really doesn't matter, because he can make himself look however he wants.

I'm just waiting for Jareth to grow up in this. Judging by what I've read so far in the third one, not much.

Yeah, I know that, it's just that when you read the manga, he's all young-looking and pretty, but then if you watch the movie right after, he looks way older than he normally does. It's kinda creepy...
