Just announced! A new prequel comic to MotU Revelations!
Revelation is specifically a continuation of the original 1983 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon from Filmation. This comic helps set the stage for that series, taking place in between the events of the Filmation cartoon and the Netflix series. After saving his father King Randor from an attack by the monstrous Orlax, He-Man realizes his Sword of Power has a mysterious connection to the beast. Dark Horse’s press release also teases Teela will “take the reins of a powerful legacy,” presumably referring to her mother the Sorceress.“When the Masters of the Universe franchise first launched nearly 40 years ago, each action figure came with a comic book to enable children to further explore the world of Eternia,” said David in a statement. “Now, in partnership with Dark Horse, we will go back to our roots to set-up the upcoming ‘Masters of the Universe: Revelation,’ television series with a world-shattering comic book tale.”
