Dark Horse Comics’ He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws turns into an ongoing series next week with the release of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #5, kicking off the new story arc ‘The Battle of Snake Mountain’, and you can get yourself a sneak peek at the issue with the official preview 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 the Masters of the Universe #5 is out on Wednesday, May 13th 2026.
