DC Comics has released some concept art from their panel at the San Diego Comic Con for their Masters of the Universe title. They are really going in a bold new direction with MOTU and I’m not a fan of the new designs. When they released the He-Man redesign, I pretty much laughed for a solid 10 minutes. I guess if you can accept a guy wearing leather straps and a dead rat on his junk, they thought we would be okay with anything.
I guess Moss Man doesn’t look too bad. He looks more furry than mossy though. I wonder if he stands on the south side of the tree if he becomes naked?
Stratos was always a favorite of mine and, honestly, this doesn’t look too bad. The helmet and wings are a nod to the original without being too drastically different. A little too GI Joe looking, but overall I like it.
WTF? That was my first reaction to this. I give them props for choosing to cover her up. Most artists feel a bikini is appropriate female armor, but this is just….fugly. At least her hair is now red. That’s a positive, right? I guess its good that it is a concept design because they can fix it. Please, please fix it.
