Exclusive Preview: HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE #5

I don't know about this series. I love the 80's cartoons way too much to be properly open minded about a different interpretation. Shadow Weaver being the one who raised Adora is a great idea though!

@trodorne: yup! Issue 1 got pushed back to Sept 4th

WHAT?!

I can't believe the pushed DCU vs MOTU. Back a week! It was supposed to come out August 28th. Jeez. This is killing me!!

@animehunter: The 23% that caused it to drop were collectors who only want the number 1 and do not read the comics.....*shakes head*

Im surprised people have not dug into issue 4, its the intro to his new costume. if that is the case I think ill go around the city here and buy up all the copies of #4 and destroy most of them or hand them out without covers for free.

@lykopis: What I find sometimes, the DC rules in regards to how sales influence if a book continues or not don't normally apply to the non DC line-up i.e. non New52.

@animehunter:

LOL -- yes, thank you for the correction and also for the numbers. I think the numbers aren't too bad, looks like it's leveling off.

Usually 20k is the scary mark for Marvel, not sure about DC.

@lykopis: I think you mean Adora

As for the sales, in my opinion, they doing great for a non New52 especially with the crossover with DC coming out September 4th 2013

and for those wondering about the sales

Issue #1 - 25,253

Issue #2 - 19,410 / -5,843 / -23%

Issue #3 - 18,280 / -1,130 / -06%

Issue #4 - 18,101 / -179 / -0.01%

In passing with a friend who is actually enjoying the series. In the meantime, I will go with the idea it's going great because I am loving the idea behind Amora. I need to catch up on this.

@charlieboy: yea me too! I wonder if she will get her own series. Maybe even have Gail Simone writing it. That's be pretty damn awesome. Just sayin!

@lykopis: who told u that? Unless u heard it directly from Mattel or DC then it's not true. I read on He-man.org forums that some fans are complaining cause its not the 80s canon. From the sales numbers that have been reported, the comic is doing great. Don't listen to disgruntled fans do the research yourself and make your own decision.

Can't wait for her to become She-Ra again!!!!

Yes you really need to start reading this series. it has a good flow at reading, with the exception of issue 1.

yeah, I guess they wanted to be rid of that dual identity and that people would have to be fools not to figure it out.

Yay this series is going nicely :D can't wait to get #5 :D

Wait, reading this makes me think that people know that Prince Adam is He-Man now? Is this true, or am I just seeing things that aren't there?

Regardless, I need to start reading He-Man.

@lykopis: doesnt mean you cant enjoy it while it lasts

best dc book out now and its not set in the new 52 lol

I was recommended this series but I have also been told it's close to the chopping board (or is already). :/

Nice preview and cover. I still can't get used to Adam's new body armor though.

That trade is actually the mini-series that they released last year. This series is actually a continuation of that mini-series. So picking up the trade would probably help you to get into this series but it is not a requirement.

must restrain....my fanboy.. comments....*bites hand*

God damn Pop Mhan's art is awesome for this series.

This is gonna be great, and looking forward to the crossover that Eternia and DCU will have soon too!! :)

Is it finally gonna happen!? Skeletor vs Hordak?

I gotta pick this up.

also is this a separate series? Because I notice that they release a trade with the first 6 issues.

I was never really into He Man, but this looks pretty cool and I might check it out, especially with the upcoming crossover he's going to have with the Justice League.

This does look interesting so I might start reading granted I can find a place around my home town that sells it.

Definitely can't wait

Wow this is getting interesting

I can't wait!

You people need to get HeMan MotU #4. It had a beuatiful moment (one of the best I've seen in comics) between Adora and Teela, all done without words in the first 4 pages. The comic in general, seems to be getting into a great story. Well worth the 2.99 [ cheaper in home subscription ;-) ]

This has been an enjoyable series so far.

This is going to be cool!

sweet

Nice
