He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse

I quite liked thus book. I would have given it 3.5 stars, and I rounded it up half a star for nostalgia. The cover art work is awesome. I do not like the interior artwork as much, but I do really like the ideas of the other He-men keeping the artwork of their own incarnation.A I really did like that they used every incarnation of He-man I grew up and sat through. The original, the new adventures, the live action movie, and the latest masters of the universe. In every case He-man was the hero, in the Multiverse what is there is a He-man who has gone bad?The story was ok, I would have liked a lot more action, and He-man use some battle skills like in his last incarnation over just strength or a single punch. However I probobly would have enjoyed this book on simple nostalgic value. The issue covers are at the start of every chapter, the the book finishes with a sketch and character design gallery.

A fun continuation of the series. I enjoyed the thundercat and superman cross overs more and the humour in this is one of it's main graces.

“He-Man & the Masters of the Multiverse” collects the six-issue series of that name.The only evil He-Man in all the multiverse goes on a quest to gather all the He-Man-related power in that multiverse, and thus become the supreme something-or-other. On his homeworld, his uncle, Prince Loki, sorry, Keldor, is, apparently, not evil, and ends up on a quest with several He-Mans from other worlds to track down the Anti-He-Man and stop his mad quest for power.Even I, who has never seen an episode of, or read a comic book about (except for the Injustice Crossover by this writer) He-Man and his friends, could quickly see where we were going with this, for I have read many comic books.I’ve read worse comics, and I have certainly read more interesting ones (many by this writer), but as I have no investment in these characters, it didn’t do much for me. The art was reasonably good, and managed to show the different He-Mans and their respective planets in the style suitable for the source material, while also showing the visitors from other worlds in their own native styles.The writer also manages to get in many jokes about He-Man and his friends, usually made by their other-dimensional counterparts.In a Marvel “What If?” comic, Prince Keldor would have been a Magneto or Doctor Doom character, who finds… redemption is not the right word, as this version of the character hasn’t done anything, but he does find out what went wrong for the other versions of himself, usually by them telling him where it all went wrong for them, and is able therefore to overcome his personal demons and rise to the occasion.This might be better-received by people who know the He-Man universe, and like it.
