He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - The Cosmic Comet TV review

Our Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to Eternia and the sword-wielding protector of Castle Greyskull. Created for the sole purpose of selling more He-Man toys, the first episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is bizarre. The core characters all get introduced here as Skeletor (Alan Oppenheimer) attempts to seize control of an evil comet to give him the power to break into Castle Greyskull and rule all of Eternia. To stop him, He-Man (John Erwin) and his friends Man-At-Arms (Oppenheimer), Orko (Lou Scheimer), and Teela (Linda Gary) will enlist the help of a washed-up wizard named Zagraz (Erwin) who helps create a twin for the comet filled with peace and love to help balance out its malicious nature. (Did I mention the plot to this one was pretty damn odd?)

He-Man/ThunderCats #1

He-Man/ThunderCats #1In a crossover that seems three decades late, DC Comics’ new six-issue series introduces the characters from two 1980s cartoons to each other as the worlds of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats literally come crashing down on one another. The first issue of the series begins with Mumm-Ra whose inability to destroy the ThuderCats has angered the ancient evil which provide his power. Deciding their agent needs a boost, the powers open a portal dropping Third Earth on top Eternia and send Mumm-Ra after the Sword of Power.

He-Man/ThunderCats #1 also introduces us to the bumbling Prince Adam whose father is still unaware of his son’s secret. Disguised as the Sorceress, Mumm-Ra steals the Sword of Power away from Adam, impaling the prince. However, still connected to the sword, Adam can call on the power of Grayskull and reappear as He-Man.
