Masters of the Universe: Revelation will publish a four-issue prequel comic book series

Before Netflix launches its Masters of the Universe: Revelation animated series later this year, Dark Horse Comic will publish a four-issue prequel comic book series co-written by the show’s executive producer Kevin Smith (as in the creator of the Jay & Silent Bob movies).

Along with Smith, the Masters of the Universe: Revelation prequel comic book is co-written by Rob David (creative director and writer of some of DC’s Masters of the Universe comic books published from 2012-2020) and Tim Sheridan (one of the Netflix show’s writers with his own DC pedigree as a writer of the Death and Return of Superman and upcoming Batman: The Long Halloween animated films).

The synopsis for Netflix’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation can be found below.
