Masters Of The Universe: Revelation Release Date, Cast, And Plot
By Matthew Martinez
For those of you who just can't wait until July 23, Dark Horse Comics is getting a top-tier team of writers and artists to hold you over before "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" premieres. Four issues of a prequel comic, also titled "Masters of the Universe: Revelation," are scheduled for release, with #1 now available for pre-order everywhere comics are sold. Kevin Smith and Rob David, two of the names behind the Netflix show, are also in charge of writing the comic series, along with Tim Sheridan ("Superman: Man of Tomorrow" and "Reign of the Supermen").
The comic has some heavyweights in the visual department, as well: drawings by Mindy Lee ("Bounty," "Crimson Lotus"), color from Rico Renzi ("Spider-Gwen," "Sundowners"), and letters by Deron Bennett ("Batgirl," "Overwatch: Tracer – London Calling"). Stjepan Seijc, a veteran of "He-Man: The Eternity War," drew the cover of the first issue, and Dave Wilkins will provide covers for the remaining three issues. Each issue will have at least one variant cover, drawn by many other talented artists.
The release of a comic book for "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" is a nice callback to the original '80s cartoon, which also contained comic books that were included with the release of each new action figure. This prequel is said to explore the aftermath of an attack on King Radnor, He-Man's father. The creature sent in the attack is somehow linked to He-Man's sword, and he sets off after Skeletor and Evil-Lyn.
"Masters of the Universe: Revelation" #1 will hit comic shelves and digital storefronts on July 9, 2021. The other three issues will release on August 11, September 9, and October 13. If we're lucky, by the time the fourth issue is released, we might have a better idea of when the second half of the "Revelation" series will premiere.
