He-Man will need a huge downgrade.
Interview
>When thunder and lightning combine, it makes for a storm. But this fall, DC Comics has its own elemental clash in the works starring two animated icons.
>CBR has learned that the publisher is prepping a "He-Man/Thundercats" crossover series, pairing the popular '80s toy and cartoon franchises for the first time. Launching in October, the six-issue limited series will be written by Mattel Head Writer and Masters of the Universe Lead Creative Rob David and Supervising Producer Lloyd Goldfine with art by Freddie E. Williams II who recently wrapped the "Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" crossover.
>The story will unite the headlining heroes thanks to a plot by Thundercats ubervillain Mumm-Ra, who searches the dimensions looking for a weapon that can defeat the fabled Sword of Omens. Of course, he lands on He-Man's own power sword, and the action ensues.
>"For everyone out there who took different action figures and teamed them up to take on the world, this one’s for you," David said in a statement. Goldfine added, "Writing this crossover event is the thrill of a lifetime, and Rob and I can’t wait to get started...You don’t wait 30 years and not go big!"
>"The Power of Grayskull and the Great Eye of Thundera have aligned to make me the luckiest guy on all the earths!" said Williams. "He-Man and ThunderCats were my life when I was in grade school—family and friends knew I loved both cartoons so much. I used to pause episodes and draw from them, since they were so awesome. The He-Man/ThunderCats crossover is the fulfillment of a lifelong goal and my fanboy dream come true! I'm having a blast!"
>Though they currently head up story development for Mattel's He-Man brand, David and Goldfine have worked with other pop culture icons in the past – notably writing 2009's "Turtles Forever" movie starring the TMNT. David also recently wrote for DC's "He-Men: The Eternity War" series.

Yes He-Man is one of the best Fantasy franchises. It's basically Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars, Conan meets Warlords of Mars and Flash Gordon. And the MOTU comic books pubblished by DC were good, especially the Eternity War was a truly epic story!
This is pretty overdue

I legitimately like the overblown nature of the He-Man universe, despite only really seeing a few episodes and the live-action movie.
I'm also going to be that guy and say that I kind of wish they could use the Thundercats 2011 designs, but I see nothing wrong with the classic designs either.

>Skeletor
>Not Hordak/The Horde
Wonder how She-Ra will fit into all of this, they might as well go all out on this.
>>84356553
I believe that chronologically this series is taking place before the Horde invade Eternia, She-Ra's origins, and the Eternity War, since every Master has their classic look. But i could be wrong.
