Usage with like
The show was released to a packed crowd. Like
its source material it's full of imagination and wit.
Is this correct as written. It's is the subject, but I wasn't sure with like heading the sentence.
Like is often used like a conjunction to show contrast, but this is an independent sentence so it's ok right.
Perhaps an and conjunction is needed.

"It" is the subject. The sentence needs a comma if only because it is inverted, with the "like" phrase coming first: "The show was released to a packed crowd. " No "and" is called for.
