I had to kick off my first post on this site by talking about my current obsession. DC comics have begun a new series of He-Man comics titled (yup you guessed it) MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!
I have had a great passion for He-Man ever since watching the film as a child. It featured Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, a pre-botox Courteney Cox and a full head of hair Robert Duncan McNeill. There were two recent one-shots that looked at the origins of both He-Man and Skeletor. I enjoyed the Skeletor one but Prince Adam's seemed somewhat reminisce of the famous AHA video for Take on Me. Lot's of roaming hallways, not much else happening. That aside, the new series has so far been brilliant. I am only two issues in and it has me desperate for the month to go by so I can get the next issue.
The new series has a feel of the Final Fantasy games by SquareSoft which for fanboys of those games will definitely be a bonus! It has great banter between Teela and well, most other characters.
Plenty of action, plenty of partially clad individuals and a hint of secrets to unfold at a later date.
The artwork is good and consistent and accompanied by a great plot and pace... it is a series I would definitely recommend.
