By the Power of Grayskull, He-Man is back. Earlier this month, fans were excited about the launch of HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, a new ongoing monthly series by writer Keith Giffen and artist Pop Mhan. This is just the newest piece of good news for the Masters of the Universe; in 2012 MOTU had a #1 iPad action game and the Facebook page is up 25% in six months from word-of-mouth!

Hitting stores in July, HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE #4 will find He-Man captured by Despara, who is ordered to bring him before Hordak. But that’s not the only reason to be excited about issue #4. The issue’s cover by Ed Benes will also introduce He-Man’s new look for DC Comics!

In the epic war against the forces of Hordak ripping through the pages of the current series, He-Man must don the sacred armor of his ancestors. While fans may be surprised by this turn of events, this dynamic direction for one of the world’s best-known heroes is firmly rooted in the classic legacy of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. After all, so long as you stay true to the core concepts, it’s always exciting to explore new possibilities, right?

Check out the image below to get your first glance at He-Man’s new look, and don’t forget to pick up this exciting new series, in stores now!




What do you guys think of this new look for He-Man? With a live-action movie reportedly in development from G.I. Joe: Retaliation director John M. Chu, could this be the He-Man we see on the big screen? Sound off with your thoughts on the new costume in the usual place!

Not nearly as homoerotic as the original costume.

if i have learned anything fro, this site its that Change=Bad. Not sure why. This doesnt look too bad. The original design wasnt that great either but nostalgia clouds the minds of everyone.

Interesting. It looks like it combines the styles of almost all that came before it. The "H" on his chest looks more like something Hordak would want to wear though than the stylized cross he usually sported in the tv series until I remembered his battlesuit from the toy line has a variation of that as well.

and oh...

top could be worse but the abominal armor down is lame

Other than the Sci-Fi looking armor plates on his legs (and that is not me asking fro his legs to be bare FYI) I'd have to say I really like the new look. Obviously He-Man wasn't going to be able to hang on to his Homo-erotic look for much longer.

Maybe they could change up Skeletor a little too (Not too much. I'm not saying his design is bad but other than his skull head there is much about him that is very skeletal. If you actually google a picture of him he's actually quite buff.

Okay I gues.

Weak. Collar around neck?..is this DC New 52?
He doesn't need armor..You people realize His strength & durability is near Superman levels.
Armor plates on legs? Looks silly.

I get having a shield to deflect stuff from hitting him but he doesn't need armor.
Some pants would be okay but I like the outfit more savage looking,he's He-Man not Metro-Sexual-Man.

Original one looked better.

I'm just glad He-Man is back not only in comic book form where he started, but with DC. Now lets get that Superman/He-Man crossover going.

Lose the shoulder fur and the tacky H on the chest. Then, Luke Skywalker will look much better in his new X-Wing pilot gear.

Looks kinda like the old thunder-punch He-man toy from the old 80's toy line.

He actually looks cool but I do agree that a beard would have made him look cooler.

OMG, he looks exactly like Hulkling from the Young Avengers!

He's got the head of a 15 year old boy and the body of a roid freak. Not a good look.

It looks like Prince Adam with some armor on, not impressed.
