Some how it just clicked with me. The Two-Bad mini comic uses the word "hell" I know it's not much but it is still considered by many a "bad word"

Did you see, Mondo and Dark Horse are teaming up to make a Mini Comic for Scare Mare?

Because there's two Turtles of Grayskull Funko Pops, I decided tonight was a good night to finally add galleries to the Funko page I made on Wiki Grayskull, and in the process I'm posting a pic of the Scare Mare & Scare Glow Funko Pop and find that Scare Mare doesn't link to an existing page. 

Googling I find that Mondo is announcing TODAY (yesterday now) that they are doing Scare mare and it will come with a Mini Comic. Neat.

@he-dad Thanks! I totally missed it. 

The comic has a page on Wiki Grayskull now, and the character will within the hour. Just uploading a few more pics.

@smitty-81 Two-Bad mini comic is a fun story with cool artwork, but like many of the VC comics, it’s so crammed full of stuff, and both text and image details are sooo tiny in the printed version.

Should have read it here in the screen, looks much better here, where I can zoom in nicely!

It’s like it’s created for a larger print size. (Or for the screen). Not really for this tiny size. If there’s ever a new mini-comic collection, some of these will be so much more pleasant to read and really shine.

@cosmic It's a pretty solid mini comic indeed. I found it refreshing that for once none of the heroic warriors appeared in it - not even He-Man! I'd love to see lots more stories like this that explore the rich world and many characters of MOTU without always falling into the standard plotline. Very good art work as well, but nothing particularly Filmationy about it, as if it had been created for a vintage style Two Bad instead, which makes me wonder if that was the original plan before they changed it to be a cartoon collection release instead. I'd like to see the upcoming VC Two-Bad come with some of the accessories shown in the comic, like Tuvar's helmet, Baddrah's duster, and the guns. It would be such a disappointment if he only comes with the boring-ass shield the original came with. Do better, Mattel.

And how about a Prince Pixlor figure?? He's got a pretty eye catching design, more anime style than traditional MOTU, like a bizarre mash up of the early Prince Adam concept art where he wore a fedora, Songster from the Power Tour, and a random Jojo's Bizarre Adventure character. Plus he's a brand new independent villain! What's not to love? I'd love to know more however why Skeletor put out a hit on him...

I'm hoping somebody posts the comic here. I can't afford Mondo and if I could I'm inches away from a divorce so I better not. 😂

Cartoon Collection Wave 6 or wave 20 over all.

 

 

Thoughts:

  • This one is awful
  • They just jump into the story
  • It's kind of randomly a sequel to the vintage episode "The Games"
  • It's really odd having Clamp Champ and Stinkor in this and I don't car of either of the designs
  • The back has the same cross-sale as the last wave

@smitty-81 I completely agree with your points. Hopefully the next minicomic is better!

Thoughts:
  • I don't like the use of Demo-Man as part of Skeletor's back story.
  • I like the border the put around the flash-back.
  • I'm not exactly sure what happens at the end other than Hordak got the Dungeon Orb...
  • It's not a good story for Demo-Man as he doesn't do anything and we don't know much about him.

This Demo-Man story is straight out of Classics. He even has the same real name and it has the bit about their consciousness being merged (so Skeletor thinks he is part of a race of demons like the early mini-comics).

Also, "bowels" is misspelled as "bowls".

This Demo-Man story is straight out of Classics.

I know. It's not good now and it wasn't good then. There are less that zero reasons to make Demo-Man Keldor's life support system, and there are thousands of better ways to use Demo-Man.

That one panel where he wants to unleash hordes of demons (and merge Eternia with Despondos), is a good use for Demo Man and one of my favorite scenes.

The beginning was kinda nicely foreboding.

Even though I dislike the Classics origin of Skeletor with the Demo-Man inclusion, at least this story frees him from Skeletor and makes him his own character (again). They didn’t contradict / cancel that old origin, but at least resolved it / negated it in-story.

This is a direct result of the Classics line incessant need to make everything they produced connected. The arse kicker is Mark Taylor said this design was never an early Skeletor. I do not understand Mattel’s desire to continue with this poor excuse of canon after other writers have produced better ideas.
