Dark Horse Comics announces a new comic series that will revisit the foundations of Eternia. Masters of the Universe: Genesis, written by Rich Douek and drawn by Gavin Smith, will focus on an initial three-issue arc starring Skeletor. This approach promises to offer a distinct vision of the foundational myths, exploring the universe from the perspective of its main antagonist.
A Narrative Reconstruction of Eternia's Foundations 🏗️
The project is conceived as a restructuring of the classic lore, prioritizing a cohesive origin narrative. Douek and Smith will act as architects of a renewed canon, where the plot unfolds from the villain's point of view. This technical focus on world-building aims to give greater depth to the mythology, interconnecting events and characters from a new chronological angle. The artwork will be responsible for establishing a visual tone fitting for this primordial stage.
Skeletor Finally Gets His Origin Miniseries, Which Nobody Asked For 💀
It's curious that, after decades of defeats, the lord of the skull gets his own origin series before other characters. One would think his memoirs would be titled something like My Years of Shouting in the Castle of Shadows or Why My Nephew Outmuscles Me. At least this time he'll be able to explain his obsession with power without He-Man interrupting every two pages to lift something heavy.
