Masters of the Universe Movie Tie-in Comic


[press release]

Dark Horse Comics, in collaboration with Mattel, is set to release a four-issue miniseries titled Masters of the Universe, which will debut just days following the premiere of the live-action Masters of the Universe film on June 5.

The miniseries, named He-Man and Masters of the Universe: Wings of Fate, will be penned by Tim Sheridan, the writer behind the Masters of the Universe: Revolution TV series and its accompanying comic. The artwork will be provided by Will Sliney. This narrative takes place within the film's universe, with the first issue scheduled for release on June 10.

 

Robert Kirkman to Launch New Superhero Series, Terminal


Invincible creator and Skybound co-founder Robert Kirkman is heading back to superheroes with Terminal, a new series co-written with Joe Casey. Featuring art by Andy Kubert, David Finch, and Arthur Adams, with colors by Dave McCaig, the debut issue hits shelves from Image on July 22, 2026.

Set against the backdrop of a savage conflict between rival superpowered groups, the story centers on a woman searching for her missing sister while navigating a world where morality has grown murky.

 

Hmmm...I'm wondering if Arthur Adams involvement in this is he had a hand in some of the character designs. The two monster looking characters give off heavy Arthur Adams design quirks.

 

I'm not familiar with this title, but the description is all I need to "nope out" on it. "Morality has grown murky." Is just another way of saying it's another bleak and jaded superhero comic. I watch the news for bleak and jaded, I read comics to escape that crap.

 

M.A.S.K. Joins the Energon Universe


During his keynote address at the ComicsPRO annual meeting, writer and Skybound co-founder Robert Kirkman announced that M.A.S.K. will join the Energon Universe.

The new series will be written by Dan Watters with art by Pye Parr and will make its first appearance on Free Comic Book Day as part of the Energon Universe Special 2026 FCBD comic, alongside all-new G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Void Rivals stories.

The first issue of the ongoing series will be released on June 3, 2026, with a main cover by Parr.

Kirkman stated that the Energon universe is being gradually expanded to ensure its long-term viability. The upcoming book, M.A.S.K., will add new elements to the series and allow for new interactions between the books.

M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), like G.I. Joe and the Transformers, began as a toy line before being adapted into comic books, movies, television, and other media. It is a Hasbro property.
