Want to know a good book that gets over looked due to what it's based on?
DC's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe which is currently title He-Man - The Eternity War. Due to what it's based on and most He-Man fans like many fandoms being fickle as fuck it gets over looked and dismissed easily enough by many. But you know what? It's a pretty solid fantasy/sci fi book, stuff is happening constantly, the characters have motivations for what they do, some unique spins are put on them and when it's all said and done it's a rather entertaining read.
Dan Abnett does a good job keeping things going, good vs evil, life, death, shocks, twist, betrayals and events are always happening. Pop Mahn has really come very far in his artwork, I remember hating his stuff once upon a time but he's doing a superb job here. And if your still not convinced there is a certain Stjepan Sejic doing the covers.
It takes so many aspects of the He-Man mythos and combines them all into what you really wanted the property to be without any of the need to be kid friendly. And it succeeds. Marvelously at that.
Oh and one of the great jobs they do involves a very beloved character in a very awesome way.
The hint:
No that's not Hordak.
In the end it is definitely worth the read.
