Picked this up on a whim. I am vaguely familiar with He-Man and have never seen Thundercats. I did really enjoy the comic, though!

>>86763788

What do you mean? The comics were always a little more serious than the 80's cartoon was

>>86763767
SKELETOR!!!

You awesome son of a bitch! It was all your plan!!!! What a fantastic ending to an amazing first issue!!!

>>86762982
The 80s called


it's happy.

>>86763767
You gotta love Skelly!

The best fictional villain ever! And he is kicking ass. So far his victories are impressive:

He kicked Supeman's ass twice (and the 2nd, the entire Justice League with him).

He destroyed Hordak.

He almost won in the Eternity War, if it was not for Adam's sacrifice.

And now he kicked Mumm-Ra's ass!

>>86763955

But then he always losses in the end. Truly the Thanos of Eternia

>>86763695
Cringer (with the heart of the lion or better a tiger) to the rescue! Best pet! Most badass war steed (as Battle Cat)!

>>86763767

Skeletor your beautiful bone faced bastard!

>>86763767
This whole thing was great, but this page? This is pure perfection.

>>86763345
What's with this guy and crossovers?

>>86764003
Because he has to. Only because he is the villain. Otherwise Skelly is really hard to lose. He is cunning as hell, he uses deception, manipulation, the element of surprise, strategy and tactics as no one else. The way that he defeated Hordak and the entire Horde Empire in the Eternity War, is an exampe of the most brilliant strategy. And in this issue the way tha he deceived and defeated Mumm-Ra (for this round at least), it's a further clue!

>>86764113

Dunno but I kinda want him to be on Green Lantern / Planet of the Apes

>>86764189

Skeletor finally got everything he wanted in Eternity War. It 's hard to top that other than him actually destroying the universe. But in saying that I wish this were a continuation

>>86763521
Dammit, I saw this coming a mile away.

>>86764311

Yeah but it was still great

If this has Faker at any point then this will be beyond awesome.

From what we know, this could be before the events of the 1st MOTU run. But i believe they go with the 80's versions, for having the crossover to be more new reader friendly.

But yes at the Eternity War, Skeletor was amazing. No villain after destroyed an empire, he could challenge his sworn enemy in such incredible way!

Skeletor is a necromancer. He always has been able to summon demons and spirits from other worlds or dimensions. This way probably he contacted the Ancient Spirits and make the deal with them. But yes the Ancient Spirits are dicks.

Well that was an awesome ending.

>>86764975

He'll be back or the last fight I'm sure

Is this the highest quality thing ever done with He-Man?

>>86764988

The 80's never really died anon. It was the 90's that has fuck all surviving. When was the last time anyone mentioned the Street Sharks

>>86765022
The art seems a lot better than the older comics if that's what you mean.

>>86765022

The last run was just as good

>>86764788
He couldn't do anything. When the Sorceress commands, he has to follow her will. Mumm-Ra was well informed about Adam's connection with Grayskull. Too bad for him that he was also manipulated!

>>86763385
Right?
>>86764113
He didn't do much for DC. Batman/TMNT, odd Green Arrow and JSA issues, fucking Movement...

Actually this crossover is much closer to the nostalgia driven 80's version. Same designs, same looking characters. The only difference is the most serious tone in some parts. But MOTU since the 200X cartoon has always been more serious. Heck even the 80's mini comics and comics have been more serious than the Filmation cartoon.

here's one of my favorite parts

>>86767479
This is the transition to the New Adventures, no? Something the cartoon never bothered to show or explain. At least in the mini comics they did.

And yes this is an awesome book!

>>86763695
Wow! Cringer attacked Mumm-Ra! And i loved his comment about Mumm-Ra insulting the cats!

>>86763635
Fantastic artwork by Williams is this page!

>>86770399
For sure it's too early for Skelly to celebrate victory, since Mumm-Ra is coming back for a rematch in issue #3.

>>86763767

I thought the crossbones was a flower making the caption box look kinda effeminate.

>>86762982
I like how this He-man doesn't sounds like a dumb drone as in the previous series.

>>86771296
I don't think so, that this was the case in the previous series. Besides the crossover, has the same writers.

>>86763664
Ah the good old Heroic Fantasy days!

As someone whose literally never seen anything ThunderCats related and the only He-Man thing I've seen is the early 2000's animated series I can say that that was super fucking fun. It actually felt like it'd fit right in the the HB series.

Does DC/WB actually own these properties or do they just publish the comics? Do either have on-going's of their own?

>>86763345
I wish he would give the girly eyelashes on the dudes a rest.

>>86763446
W...was that a double entendre? It really doesn't help that most of the extra characters come off sounding like and resembling, power-wise, sex toys. Then again, they were created by the animation studio that had THE most heavily homosexual employee ranks in the 80's.

>>86773337

I think Warner owns them both. But that raises another question for me. Why were the Samurai Jack and Powerpuff Girls comics done through IDW when WB has their own comic division, one of the big two no less?

>>86771770

>10x speed

Oh yeah He-Man is queer as fuck and I say that as a straight man who loves the Masters of the universe. There's also Fisto and Ram-Man for Christs sake

>>86773630

So they just lease out the property to IDW and make money from them that way?

>>86773591
>>86773591
>I think Warner owns them both.
Wonder how long this has been the case? According to wikipedia Marvel published some WildCats comics before. That'd be pretty weird if they're owned by WB.

>>86773768
>>86773591

Nah I think it's Mattel who owns He-Man and Thundercats but they have a partnership with WB. It's why it was so important to get a toyline going for the last Thundercats cartoon

Who's ready for rage?

http://au.ign.com/articles/2016/10/05/he-manthundercats-1-review

>>86773870
That makes more sense.

>>86773337
Mattel owns MOTU but they've been partnered up with DC for a long time now (since like around the Justice League cartoon). Mattel also recently got the rights to do Thundercats figures, but I don't know if they own the rights outright.

>>86775799

>>86767479
ho-lee-shit
i remember this so well
I even had the sword, it make strike noises and lit up when you hit things with it

>>86773488
Nope the cartoon has nothing to do with the creation of these characters. They created by Mattel as part of a toyline based on an alien techno-barbarian post-apocalyptic civilization. It was basically Frazetta for kids. In fact at the beginning this was supposed to be a Conan toyline.

>>86773686
He-Man married Teela at the end of the MOTU storyline, and they had a son. So this is BS.

>>86763374
>Oh and could Battle Cat always talk?

In the original pitch for the animated series Cringer "talked" but only the audience could hear him whereas Battle Cat could talk audibly. In the introduction sequence to the series Battle Cat was even to shout "And I have the power too!" when he gets zapped and transformed by the sword of power. If you look closely at his mouth you can see him mouth the words, though they chose to remove the voice line and just put music over it.

In execution however they started just letting characters in the cartoon also hear Cringer's lines, so I guess he was just a magical talking lion even before getting the power of Greyskull.

>>86773886
This must to be one of the most misinformed reviews and full of bullshit and lack of any knowledge about MOTU, apart from the 4-5 years old aiming Filmation cartoon. So let's start: Firts of all, my dear reviewer MOTU has been darker since 14 years now from the days of the 200X Era. This page comes from Trap-Jaw's origins pubblished by Image in 2003.

>>86777580

>>86773886
And the reviewer continues with his ignorant crap, by saying that they shoud hired a name for writing the crossover, because Giffen and Abnett, gave a more light tone to the previous comic run.

Again this is nothing to do with truth. Both Abnett's and Giffen's previous runs have been more mature in content than the 1st issue of the crossover. And for furthering proof, this comes from Giffen's run...

375KB, 1073x1650px

>>86773886
And for ending the criticism towards this crap and biased review, the writing team of the crossover with the Thundercats, it's the same team that wrote the whole storyline of the previous DC He-Man comics that Giffen and Abnett, translate them to a comic book script. You can see their names on the paperbacks.

So again this review is full of misinformed crap. This the reason of why i donìt pay any attention to the so called comic book journalism and reviewing.

See you next month!

"HE-MAN/THUNDERCATS #2

He-Man has lost control of his Power Sword...just as he’s forced to battle dozens of mutants and minions of evil from two worlds—Evil-Lyn, Slithe, Beastman, Jackalman and more! With only his bare hands for weapons, and with the Power of Grayskull never more vulnerable, will any man help He-Man stand against the forces of evil? Fortunately for Eternia, a new breed of heroes has arrived!"

>>86771457
My perception, actually. 2012 comics have Adam/He-man too brooding and plain because the writer wanted to write "Masters of Teela".

I recognize War of Ethernity gave him a little more character, though.
