Dark Horse Comics has announced that its Masters of the Universe limited series is limited no more and will continue beyond its initial four-issue run as it launches a new arc and undergoes a rebranding from issue five to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
The issue will kick off the series’ second story arc, ‘The Battle of Snake Mountain’, written by Tim Seeley (Masters of the Universe/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull), illustrated by Reilly Brown (Masters of the Universe: Phantoms of Despair); check out the solicitation and covers to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #5 below…
THE POWER SWORD, a weapon able to access the power and wisdom of Grayskull, was forged by the most powerful sorcerer in the Universe—HE-RO. It was ordained that the sword would be given to a great champion to protect the Realm in times of need.
But He-Ro grew concerned that all the power and knowledge in the universe might be too much for one man. So, he created another blade—one which could be used only if a champion became a tyrant. But an accident corrupted the alternate blade, transforming it into something evil, tainting its metal violet. He-Ro had unintentionally created THE SWORD OF FLAWS. Realizing the horror of his creation, He-Ro left Grayskull and spent years of his life crossing Eternia to find a place to hide the sword. And there, the Sword of Flaws remained safely hidden. Until now…
After the great battle at Heaven Piercer, the Sword of Flaws has fallen into Skeletor’s hands. And with this mystic power, Skeletor is a greater threat than ever before. Can He-Man and the Heroic Warriors stop him before he becomes MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE?
He-Man and Masters of the Universe #5 will go on sale on March 25th 2026.
