Evil meets evil in Dark Horse Comics and Mattel’s newest Masters of the Universe prequel comic series, Masters of the Universe: Revolution! This four-issue miniseries is written by Revolution producers Tim Sheridan, Rob David, and Ted Biaselli, with illustrations by Daniel HDR, inking by Keith Champagne, coloring by Brad Simpson, and lettering by AndWorld Design. The cover of issue #1 will be illustrated by Dave Wilkins, with a variant cover by Tyler Boss.
Journey to the earliest days of one of the universe’s most consequential and fraught team-ups. Hordak is an ambitious general, eager to make his mark; Skeletor is an aspiring mage hungry for power. Joining forces, melding ancient Eternian magic with advanced Horde technology, could bring them all their evil hearts’ desire…but they’ll have to survive each other first.
To celebrate the release of Masters of the Universe: Revolution, from showrunner Kevin Smith, produced by Mattel Television Studios, and premiering on Netflix January 25, Dark Horse Comics and Mattel are also revealing the artwork for a special variant cover that will be featured on issue #4. This variant cover, illustrated by Masters of the Universe veteran Tim Seeley and colored by Brad Simpson, highlights a variety of characters from the animated show.
