Mattel and Dark Horse Comics Announce “Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws”

New Miniseries Out Wednesday, September 24

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. The series will begin Wednesday, September 24, 2025 with Issue #1 now available to pre-order from participating local comic shops for $4.99.

The new series is written by New York Times bestselling writer Tim Seeley, illustrated by Eisner Award-winning artist Freddie E. Williams II (Masters of the Universe/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull, Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle), colored by Andrew Dalhouse (Masters of the Universe/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull, Space Ghost), and lettered by AndWorld Design (Masters of the Universe/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull, Canto: A Place Like Home). Issue #1 will feature cover art by Williams and a variant by Tim Seeley with Brad Simpson.

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.
