Classics-Line Mini-Comics, a Summary and Explanation: Issue # 1 "The Legend Begins"

This is the first issue of the Classic-Line comics, but the title is misleading. The story picks up in the middle of an on-going crisis with very little explanation and the assumption that the reader already just "knows" what's going on.

The title "the Legend Begins" does not refer to the beginning of He-Man, but instead the beginning of King Grayskull's legend.

The Classics-Line "the Legend Begins" is actually a retelling of an older Masters of the Universe mini-comic from the Vintage era of the franchise.

There are minor and inconsequential differences, but the main plot is the same:

He-Man must travel back in time and seek out the answers to his struggles in the present, in the past.

Specifically, our protagonists (He-Man, Teela, She-Ra, etc.) are losing ground on on the defensive against the multiple fronts of the Snakemen, the Horde, and Skeletor. The Sorceress is dead, Man-at-Arms has been transformed into a Snakeman, and our heroes are forced underground and living in caves.

Teela uses her newfound power as the New Sorceress in combination with the power of the newly risen Central Tower to send Adam back in time to the Preternia Era, the time of King Grayskull.

But Skeletor was also skulking around Central Tower (as one does) and saw Teela send Adam to the past. Before the portal closes, Skeletor sneaks through and follows Adam to the Preternia Era.

While in the past, Adam must disguise his identity to avoid causing a paradox.

Immediately after arriving in the past, Adam starts performing good deeds and saves a dinosaur that was being attacked by Snakemen. This dinosaur then becomes his steed for the reminder of time Adam is in the past.

Meanwhile, Skeletor looks up his ex-boyfriend former roommate, King Hiss.

Note how King Hiss makes mention of "the Unnamed One" on both. Even in 1987 Mattel had already planned for the concept that would eventually become Gorpo the Unnamed even back then.

The original Vintage version of this issue ends with the Sorceress (which is Teela-Na, not Teela in that version) telling Adam that he needs to find a wizard to help him.

The Classics-Line version of this comic ends with He-Ro (a wizard) helping Adam out then promptly vanishing.

Both endings set up for the next issue, but the 1987 issue never got a follow-up, while the 2012 version was just the first of a short run of comics that would be companion pieces for Mattel's 2010s collectors toy line.

Explanation:

The Classics-Line comics were packaged with Classics-Line action figures, which were marketed and priced for adults and toy collectors. The assumption was that the people buying the Classics-Line were the same children that had played with the toys in the 80s and were already familiar with Masters of the Universe characters and lore.

The audience was just supposed to already know what the Three Towers are, who Adam|He-Man, Teela, Skeletor, and King Hiss are, and so on. Any exposition given is the bare minimum and only when absolutely necessary.

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

Obi-wan and his friend Bant Eerin having a sad moment after certain events

#star wars fanart #obi wan kenobi #bant eerin #I was going to save this for a long sketch dump type post #But then again it’s the most complete art I’ve done in a while #Even has a background and everything #I’ve been making my way through the Jedi Apprentice books and I have mixed feelings #Ranging from “this is great 😭💛” to “wow they would never! I’m glad this isn’t canon” #But anyway I was happy to find that Obi-wan has a sweet friend named Bant and I would like to see more of her in stuff #…also I drew this kind of small…since it was supposed to be part of a whole lineup of drawings but then I ran out of drive/energy #So… the rest will be posted some other time

A UN investigation found that US and UK-manufactured weapons or parts were likely used to bomb British doctors working for British and American organisations in Gaza in January, the organisations involved have highlighted. Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) also said this week that Israeli officials have offered six different explanations about why the residential compound housing their staff was hit. The compound, which was not close to any other buildings, was struck around 6am on 18 January by an F-16 jet which "most likely'" fired a 1,000-pound "smart bomb", the UN investigation found. A month earlier, the Israeli military had given the British defence attache assurances that the site, which had been designated a safe zone and was located in the southern Gaza town of Al-Mawasi, had been marked as a protected, humanitarian area. The strike left several staff members and a bodyguard with non-life-threatening injuries, severely damaged the compound and was said to have forced the organisations to stop taking foreign doctors into Gaza as the healthcare system collapsed.
