Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT), a leading global toy and family entertainment company and owner of one of the most iconic brand portfolios in the world, in collaboration with Dark Horse Comics, today unveiled the new Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws, a new four-issue miniseries firmly rooted in the classic universe continuity of Masters of the Universe.

About Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws:
A legion of Heroic Warriors protects the magical realm known as ETERNIA. They are led by TEELA: Captain of the Royal Guard, MAN-AT-ARMS: weapons master and combat instructor, and the powerful and heroic HE-MAN. These heroes, known as the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, keep threats like the evil Skeletor and his minions at bay. But when an ancient and evil artifact is unearthed from the depths, the Masters of the Universe will have to scour the land in search of this Preternian power…or risk it falling into the hands of their greatest enemies.
The Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops on September 24, 2025.
Praise for Masters of the Universe comics:
“On one hand, you have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, one of the most celebrated indie comic books to ever see release. On the other you have Masters of the Universe, a toy property-turned-television show synonymous with Generation X. When combined together, the end result is a delectable treat not only for kids of the 1980s and 1990s, but comicreaders everywhere.”—CBR
“It’s refreshing to see the crossover dream team of Seeley and Williams taking things in a wholly unexpected direction here.”—Big Comic Page
“Dark Horse’s new Masters of the Universe: Revolution comic is essential reading for fans of the Netflix show, as it peels back Hordak’s layers, giving him the ‘Year One’ treatment.”—Screen Rant
“Dark Horse Comics’ Masters of the Universe: Masterverse #1 recalls the innocence and wonder of the 1980s comics and movies. By exploring two alternative versions of Eternia, this issue celebrates the qualities of a true hero.”—The Comicbook Dispatch
