@he-dad we were told that they only had a 1 year plan, but that seems to have changed.

@rogerblake are you going to update the page for Leviathan's War?

I just updated the cover. Probably add the two back covers. Anything else wrong or missing?

Toyhabits.com has some images of the wave ToG mini comic. Be fairly warned spoilers lie ahead.

Mr. Home Arcade has a new review up for Stealth He-Man and Steal Leonardo that includes good shots of the whole comic. So I'm reading and updating the page for the comic. And WOW!!!!

@rogerblake I watched the review but I'm waiting to have the mini comic in hand before reading it.

Not a mini comic, but the ToG deluxe collector cards and all the ToG card backs to explain some of the characters and plot points.

I would not be the least bit sad if we could get cards like these for every character. The deluxe ToG characters and the Sun Man multi-pack characters got them and they are really nice.

@chrisa agreed and lately the give more info than the mini comics, at least for Origins. The ToG mini comics have been on point.

Seems like the power of Grayskull has become the village bicycle as of late...

@durendal sharing power has been the overall theme in MOTU for most of this decade.

@smitty-81 I guess so, ever since Classics established that there have been many Eternian champions in history who have held the power over the eons, not just He-Man...

@durendal I'm not well versed in Classics lore. Weren't all the previous champions He-Man's ancestors?

@smitty-81 In Classics, the Power Sword (properly called the Sword of He) was split in two and hidden away to wait for its prophecied user. Throughout the centuries, various people were appointed as guardians to watch over the sword, these people became known as He-Men. We never got a complete list, but Vikor, Wun-Dar, and Oo-Lar (who was the original mini-comic He-Man made into a new character) were some of them.

It isn't clear if they actually used the Sword or just guarded it, but Revelation seemed to push the idea that they had access to the power. And of course, sharing power was a big deal in the CGI cartoon.

@chrisa is that all, I already knew that much. Did Classics ever do an "official" He-Family tree?

I came up with one but I started with Oo-Larr as the farthest back, but I recall seeing that officially King Grayskull is the oldest relative.

@smitty-81 There was never a full "He-family tree". King Grayskull was He-Man and She-Ra's distant ancestor(5000 years previous), but there wasn't a direct line that was ever published.

None of the previous "He-Men" were ever stated to be related to Adam and Adora either.

(FWIW, in the post-toyline additions to the Classics canon, He-Ro married King Grayskull's daughter and is thus also properly related to Adam and Adora.)

@chrisa You make a good point - I'm not sure it was ever stated if any of the guardians of the sword prior to Adam had access to or used the power of Grayskull, or whether they just protected it. Anyone remember?

Thoughts:
  • This is hands down one of the best Origins mini comics.
  • I like the inclusion of Modulock, the joke about having two heads and that they don't say it's Hordak, but we all know it is.
  • Baddrah's ship is a fist.
  • The Pixel Dan reference is name only but still fun.
  • Their rivalry starts in this mini comic but it would have to take place over a few months considering they travel to at least five different planets.
  • The tragic back stories only help to show that both of the are assholes and that Skeletor was playing the long game, for some reason.
  • Skeletor's line for the 200X cartoon is used.
  • Over all this seems more like a VC mini comic, it's not what we typically get for the CC mini comics.

This is an enjoyable read. Thank you for posting it.

@smitty-81 Yeah It's interesting that the title is Masters of the Universe, instead of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe that the other CC comics have.

@he-metayer I noticed that too but then checked my other CC mini comics and the two of them dropped He-Man from the title.
