"This is the big one! The epic! So much MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE lore and mythology sweeping together in one epic storyline! He-Man, She-Ra and their allies combine to take Eternia back from Hordak in the war to end all wars.... and there are other sinister threats lurking in the shadows,” said Dan Abnett writer of the series. “Did I say epic? I think I did. Twice. And Pop is a genius! His art is amazing. He's the sort of artist that writers long to write for! I can't properly express how excited I am about this book."

“When you are given the chance to be a part of a monumental storyline, so thunderously epic that it could only be crafted by master storyteller, Dan Abnett - you thank the heavens for your good fortune and you dig deep because this new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE story is guaranteed to blow some socks off,” stated Pop Mahn the artist on the series. “Dan's brilliant scripts constantly push my artistic boundaries like no other and I'll be bringing this fresher, better artistic approach to the new saga. I can't wait to get in the trenches and help Dan produce something really special!”

Working closely with Dan to develop the story, the treatment of HE-MAN: THE ETERNITY WAR originated from Rob David, Head Writer and Lead Creative on Masters of the Universe for Mattel’s Entertainment Studio, Playground Productions.

“This is our Ragnarok, our Twilight of the Gods,” said Rob David, “the epic showdown He-Man fans have been waiting for. It’s He-Man vs. Skeletor, She-Ra vs. Hordak, Masters vs. Dark Masters – all fighting for control over Castle Grayskull. In the end, winner takes all. Who will become the Master of the Universe? Nothing will be the same after this.”
