“The Sundered Throne”

In "The Sundered Throne," the kingdom of Crystallium fractures when prophet Zardeth delivers a dire prophecy, splitting the brothers Crystar and Moltar into opposing forces. Sent into the Prisma-Crystal and the molten depths of the earth, the two princes emerge transformed—Crystar a warrior of living crystal, Moltar a being forged in lava—each now leading their own factions in a conflict that will shape the fate of their realm. Written by Mary Jo Duffy and illustrated by Bret Blevins, with inks by Vince Colletta, colors by Andy Yanchus, and letters by Jim Novak, the cover by Bob Larkin captures the epic clash before it begins.

Zardeth delivers a prophecy to the kingdom of Crystallium, which leads to a split between the princes Crystar and Moltar. To save Crystar from a deadly injury, the wizard Ogeode sends him into the Prisma-Crystal, where he emerges as a warrior of crystal. To save Moltar from the magical crystal rain, Zardeth sends him into underground lava, where he emerges as a man of hardened lava. With their followers transformed the same, the two begin the ongoing battle for the right to rule the kingdom.
