Description So it ends.
As the previous one, this minicomic has the only purpose to give some refreshing to those who, if you ask me, are the more neglected, the one with less exposure, of all the characters of the MOTU mythology, the original version of the “eight-back” characters.
Wherever you look, Adam/He-man is there to be found, the “Teela captain of the royal guard” too, Zodac with his flying chair, the “uncle Keldor” Skeletor, the bumbling Beast-man and Mer-man, the fable-like , techno/medieval Eternia with Randor as his king, and the widgets and the talking animals and all…but is there someone who keeps alive the adventures of the barbaric axe-wieldig He-man, of the Tee-la who fights with the fury of her warrior ancestors, of the young MAA great fighter, of Zodac cosmic bounty-hunter, of Skeletor demon from another dimension, of the fierce Beast-man, of the mischievous Mer-man, of that Eternia once highly advanced now wasted by the great wars…and the almighty power sword, splitten in half? Really nobody cares to carry on this canon? I wish somebody would , I miss the Eternia of my childhood so much and all I can do with my humble art abilities is to give this little contribute for those who, like me, know that their little world of Eternia is forever confined in just those four little comics.
Don’t be upset at me if Adam doesn’t exist here, if She-ra is nowhere to be found, if Eternos is missing, if Orko, Kowl, Madam Razz and all of the other things that were added in the years , in my fan-fiction you can’t find a world, search elsewhere, the web is full of all of them.
This little thing of mine is for those, like me, who liked Eternia the way it was back then, and wish it never changed.
It is just nostalgia.

This minicomic is dedicated to the memory of Frank Frazetta, I really think if it wasn't for him we would be talking of somenthing else right now...

Cool! Do you have any of those He-Man stories featuring Superman?

I just found your mini-comic, and it was great. I'm glad someone is keeping the old mini-comics alive!

I am not bothered by the exclusion of the Filmation canon, as I like the classic mini-comics more then the cartoon. Filmation had some neat plots and character developments, but one had wade through a lot heavy-handed morality, family-friendly action, and awkward moments/dialogs. As much as I liked the '02 animated reboot series, and wished it lasted longer, I like your mini-comic reboot more! The only thing I would change is that I would make it a little more bloody - not gruesomely heavy-handed violence, but just a bit of red sprays, as the Heroes hit the nameless goons (much like what you see in the Golden Girl book).

Keep up the great work!

Right now it's a little hard as I'm currently packing up all my thing for the incoming moving on.
As I'll be in my new appartament with all my tools back on the proper shelf I'll manage to do something new.

Please tell me you'll work on more comics. Don't mind if not today, not tomorrow, not in a year, I don't mind waiting as long as someone so talented like yourself keeps this alive.

i like your minicomics. i know there weren't many characters used in this canon, but have you considered adding in some of the other people? not everyone is going to work obviously, but i think it would be cool to see trap jaw and tri-klops. the comics where they were introduced were like a mix of the original minicomic and filmation cartoon canons. also monstrous characters like buzz-off, moss man, webstor, clawful, and whiplash could work no matter what you do with them.

Basically, every characters from the first three waves would fit well in this canon, I'll think about that seriously.
Too bad next month I'll be moving on so it will be a sligtly longer wait.
