History ComicBook / CrystarCrystalWarrior

* LoveDodecahedron: There was a brief love quadrilateral in the first issue, where Lavour and Crystar planned to marry, though Moltar loved Lavour and the meek palace servant Ambara secretly loved Crystar, and Warbow had a crush on Ambara. This gets resolved quickly though — when Crystar appears dead, [[GoldDigger Lavour]] shamelessly switches her affections to Moltar, while Ambara finally gets to tell Crystar how she feels, and he responds in kind. Poor Warbow concludes that he's lost his chance with her, and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he never does tell her how he feels.]]

The mystical world of Crystallium is only now recovering from a long war against the evil forces of the demon lord Chaos, when word reaches the twin princes Crystar and Moltar that Chaos is even now preparing to renew the war against them. The brothers quarrel and soon find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict, each transformed into a living champion of crystalline Order or molten Chaos.

* EvilSorcerer: Zardeth.

* {{Irony}}: A letters page message from one reader points out that, despite their avowed allegiances, Zardeth the wizard of chaos is actually very organized and focused, while Ogeode the wizard of order is messy, disorganized, and chronically absent minded.

* LoveTriangle: Ika, Stalax, and Ika's ex-boyfriend Bek.

* WorthlessYellowRocks: As described above, the planet Crystallium is up to its armpits in enormous gems and crystals. They're literally as common as rocks, and about as valuable. Buildings are made out of them. Then in one issue, the cast winds up magically transported to the home of Comicbook/DoctorStrange, on Earth, and they're awestruck at the incalculable wealth on display: wooden furniture everywhere and entire shelves full of paper books.

* BadassMustache: Koth has a trim mustache [[Creator/ErrolFlynn befitting a swashbuckler.]] Zardeth sports an appropriately sinister Literature/FuManchu.

* BigBad: The demon lord Chaos. Only glimpsed once in the first issue as a huge fanged skull with horns. Zardeth works for him.

* BigBad: The demon lord Chaos. Never actually seen, but Zardeth works for him.

* EvilerThanThou: When Zardeth finally wearies of Moltar's ambivalence to the cause of chaos, he goes out and recruits the bloodthirsty savage Malachon and his followers.

* CompleteMonster: While Moltar is a conflicted AntiVillain, and Zardeth is a CardCarryingVillain who knows he's evil and loves it, Malachon is the worst of the bunch — an absolutely bloodthirsty savage who Zardeth recruits when he wearies of Moltar's ambivalence.

* PolarOppositeTwins: Crystar and Moltar appear to be this... but Moltar's ambivalence about his position as Chaos's stooge and his suppressed-but-real underlying decency show that they're really no different.

* PolarOppositeTwins: Crystar and Moltar appear to be this... but Moltar's ambivalence about his position as Chaos's stooge and his suppressed-but-real underlying decency show that they're really NotSoDifferent.

* StarCrossedLovers: Koth and an unnamed Magma Woman are clearly attracted to each other. [[spoiler: When the conflict ends in the last issue, they apparently get to live happily ever after.]]

* RockThemeNaming: Crystar (crystal), Moltar (molten), Ambara (amber), Lavour (lava), Feldspar (feldspar), Stalax (stalactite), Malachon (malachite).

* TheMerch: Had an action figure line from Remco. Contrary to popular belief, the comic was conceived first, with the toyline opportunity coming later, but the two did none the less hit stores at the same time. Marvel, not Remco, owns the rights to the characters.

* MerchandiseDriven: Averted. The comic actually was conceived first, with the toyline opportunity coming later, but the two did none the less hit stores at the same time. Marvel, not Remco, own the rights to the characters.
