James Robinson and Philip Tan Bring He-Man to DC Comics This July

By the Power of Grayskull, indeed!

Holy cow! Where was I when this was first announced? (Probably recording our podcast). More importantly, why the heck hasn't James Robinson ever hinted that he had this cooking?

DC has announced that this July, Robinson and Philip Tan will be giving us a six-issue miniseries for the Masters of the Universe.

No Caption Provided

According to DC:

In the new series, Robinson reintroduces the Masters of the Universe® to comic readers with Skeletor having won a major victory and rewriting the world of Eternia where he now rules from Castle Grayskull and the Masters have no memory of their former glory. Adam is a simple woodsman haunted by dreams of a heroic warrior, wielding a powerful sword in battle. He is found by a mysterious sorceress who tells him his dreams are of the way the world should be, that he is Eternia's champion He-Man. Adam sets off on a quest to regain his power and reawaken the Masters of the Universe.

He-Man is definitely a strange character. I can't say I'm the biggest He-Man fan but I am so freaking excited over seeing Robinson and Tan do this story.

I'm in! The 2002 reboot was prettygood. This looks to be very good as well, especially cause it's Classic He-Man.

I was curious about Starman after listening to James on the comicvine podcast. I am now on omnibus 5 and have been thoroughly enjoying the run. At this point I am following James Robinson's current books and fully intend to pull this comic only because of his Involvement in the project. I trust he will give the world of He-Man a great treatment

I actually will be picking this up, but its also occurred to me is He-Man in the new 52? is he in the same universe as Superman and the rest of the DC cast? only he is on another planet? I think that is a good idea actually and I'd like for there to be crossovers with He-Man and some of the other DC heroes. Superman vs He-man round 2 indeed but also I'd like to see others like He-Man vs Darkseid also just think of it Skeletor has contacted Darkseid to help him take over the planet. Sounds good to me.

Also his sword is classic He-Man not the 2002 version of the sword from the look of the cover.

That sounds pretty cool..especially if it's anything like the 2003 animated series.

That show was so awesome. It's a shame it was cut short.

That drawing looks really good I hope this series captures the art that used to be on the MOTU packaging.
