Does anyone know of a check list for the Image/MV Creations stuff that was put out in the early 2000s. I have purchased what I can find and even been able to get my hands on a couple of the He-Man.org 500 variants but I can't find a complete list of what they made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is interested in their works, I've picked up a lot of duplicates trying to complete the sets... let me know if you are looking for any specific issues and I may be able to help you out.
Aw mah Gawd! 😭 You have no idea how thrilled I was to see a thread on MVC's 200x comics Sshook27! Those were my childhood He-Man comics! ❤️
I've made a list for you :3
It's all of the MVC MOTU comics! All of the various variant covers and the promotional issues/supplementary material too! (There is quite a few, so I have to split them in to multiple posts 😅 but anyway....here we go)
- The comics released under "Image Comics"
Masters of the Universe (Volume 1, 2002)
"The Shard of Darkness" Arc
1. Issue 1
• Emilio Santalucia Variant A
Variant B
AKA "The Premium Cover"
and the back is Skeletor by Matt Tyree/Norm Rapmund
The rest is character profiles on 11 different characters.
It was an exclusive of Wizard World Chicago and San Diego Comic-Con.
As you can see from the pic, only 25 were ever printed and each copy had a different character/graphic on the cover.
Pretty cool if you have $500 to spare. 😅
not much to look at, I know but a little more reasonable at just under $100.
This was a screenshot i took from Amazon today, so it's still available but there's only 2 copies left.
This perhaps isn't the most essential one to collect but well....if you wanted to be a completionist :3
It's here lol

But I do have MOAR to show you, trust me!
I'll be back later to add more pics/info to this thread. :3
This is absolutely amazing of you! I really appreciate it, are these all from your collection?
@sshook27 awwww thank u so much. 😊
Sad to say that these aren't mine 🥲 just ventured around the web to get these pics. 😅
I wanted to provide you with the pics of the covers AS WELL as the artist's names and any additional info because this will make them much easier for you to seek them out for the collection.
Okay, so on with the rest!

"Masters of the Universe Encyclopedia : Season One (2003)" from Cross Gen Comics
This another cool thing Published by Cross Gen Comics.
It's not really a comic, though. x)
It's actually the first issue of a planned MOTU 200x lore encyclopedia, which was to be released in 5 parts but was unfortunately cancelled when the partnership between CGC and MVC ended. So this is the ONLY issue that ever came out.
The encyclopedia was supposed to be a comprehensive guide to the 200x cartoon, ALL of the Image/CGC/MVC comics and the Mattel mini-comics.
(Because they are all connected and part of the same big 200x continuity/canon.)
Here is the cover of issue 1
like this one, this is would it WOULD have looked like :
It was written and drawn for the charity "CAAF" (Children Affected by Aids Foundation), it was distributed by Dream Halloween in 2002 and sold exclusively through MVC's webstore in partnership with Dream Halloween.
Here is the cover
The story is "The Power of Fear" and it is the only appearances of Scare-Glow in the entire 200x canon.
In addition to this new story, this comic also reprints the "Hope" story from the other comic.
Here is the cover
"Episode 40 'Captured' comic - Best Buy exclusive bonus comic packaged with BCI's Masters of the Universe vol. 3 DVD
This comic here is a comic adaption of the unproduced episode 40 of the 200x cartoon.
It was never for sale separately, instead it was released with special editions of the 200x cartoon vol. 3 DVD. It was also only available at Best Buy.
"The Target 'Two-Pack' minicomic"
This comic was released exclusively with Mattel's 200x He-Man and Skeletor action figure two-pack.
It is original tale, designed to introduce kids to He-Man and Skeletor (although it is not an origin story)
"Masters of the Universe : The Battle Begins - Power of Grayskull GBA Video Game Exclusive Minicomic"
and finally, this is last comic.
It is a minicomic that was packaged with the Power of Grayskull GBA game. It is also an original story that serves as a prelude setting up the events of the game (thus making the game's plot canon to the REST of the 200x lore)
The comic story doesn't actually have a conclusion because the comic story takes place right before the first level of the game.
Here is what it looks like :
