The blonde prince of Eternia will soon be swinging his magic sword into the air once again in ‘Masters of the Universe: Revelation.’ He-Man, Teela, Skeletor, and other Masters of the Universe are set for a TV comeback via Netflix and Kevin Smith. Before all the power of Greyskull is unleashed on our screens, He-Man is returning to comics.
The Beat reports that we’ll be seeing a MotU:R prequel comic this July 7th from Dark Horse. The four-issue comic will act as a prequel to the upcoming show. It looks like we’ll see nostalgia on full display here!
In the comic book, following a vicious Orlax attack on his father King Randor, He-Man learns the creature is linked to the origin of the sword of power. To save Randor and put an end to the chaos, He-Man embarks on an epic journey that pits him against his longtime foes Skeletor and Evil-Lyn, and sees Teela take the reins of a powerful legacy.
Based on that little snippet, it looks like Teela will take up the mantel of the Sorceress. This may explain the rumors that she has a pretty big part in the upcoming Netflix series. It may be spoilerish if you’ve missed the last 40 years of He-Man, but Teela is a related to the Sorceress. Depending on which bit of conflicting lore you subscribe to, she’s either a clone or the daughter of Fisto and the Sorceress.
The first issue of the four-part mini-series is available for pre-order at your local comic shop.
There is also an awesome variant cover by ‘Hellboy’s’ own Mike Mignola.
