Written by Fans of ‘Masters of the Universe” have been treated to a smorgasbord of comics over the past several years, largely in part thanks to tie-ins to the Netflix Animated Series “Masters of the Universe: Revelation & Revolution“.
With further episodes of that series seemingly not in production and only one tie-in comic left on the docket (the “Masters of the Universe: Andra” comic coming July 23rd), we have been wondering… what’s next?
Well according to the post in our community forums from the always awesome superfan and historian @jukka Issakainen, it seems we will be finding out this week. Check it out:
“There are new Masters of the Universe comics coming from Dark Horse! More details will be unveiled later this week!”
Will these new comics be the next entry in the Revelation and Revolution continuity timeline?
Will these comics be a “Masters of the Universe X ThunderCats” crossover that ties directly into the new toyline and features a reunion of writer Tim Seeley and artist Freddie Williams II?
Whatever these new comics are, we will have to wait and see to find out.
Thanks again to @Jukka.
We’ll see you next time!

This is so exciting, I can’t wait for more news! šĀ
Something tied to Revelation and Revolution?
I hope not! Retelling collective canon as a dedicated story would be the easiest win going, you could potentially get fans and newbs really invested like the recent ‘Hasbro titles’. The Netflix shows while they obviously did well enough for comics, would be a minnow by comparison because the possibilities are endless with an ongoing saga that wasn’t toxic from the beginning. You could do what they’ve done with Ninja Turtles too, an OG cartoon run, TV/movie version, current comic book run, then spin off into (in our terms) NA and 200x.
All the story potential was written decades ago, it’s such a no brainer.

If I had to guess bro I’d say the retelling of collective cannon will happen but it will surround the new movie.

@he-dad They definitely need to think bigger though, especially since they can do multiple iterations AND safeguard against the movie having an adverse effect more widely. MOTU has the best rogues gallery this side of Batman and Spider-Man, you could have a series of books for them alone!
How about a 12 comic monthly prequel series to the new movie?
I hope this isn’t another crossover. They don’t interest me as much.
@gatorrob Unfortunately they’ll probably want to have one in place running concurrently to support the MOTU x Thundercats line, even though we’ve already had such a comic…
Sigh.
As a matter of fact, I really enjoyed the ‘Golden Age’, when DC started publishing their six-issue miniseries in 2012, in which our Masters were basically brainwashed so that Skeletor could rule Eternia in secret. Then came another exciting series, this time focusing on the Evil Horde, which revealed Adora’s past. Not to mention the Snakemen, which led to the prelude of the famous ‘Eternity War’. I lost interest after the last issue of this series was published. For me, the winning formula was lost.
