The only blemish I've found is how Castle Grayskull doesn't look consistent in a few issues. At first, I thought it was because Skeletor used his magic to distort the castle after he took it over, but in another issue Castle Grayskull looked normal again.

Who knows how often these comics are supposed to come out? I read the She-ra one and got hooked, but I'm not enough of a comic afficianado to know when the next one is supposed to be available. Can any of you help a girl out?

Thanks!

Edit: I get my comics from comixology, if that makes a difference.

Unfortunately we never really know when the next digital comic will come out until a few days before it comes out. They used to be fortnightly but then the She-Ra issue came kind of out of the blue, which was a nice surprise. I think of that issue more as a one off presumably to co-inside with the new ongoing series that starts in April. I don't know whether anymore of the Digital Firsts are even planned at present. I guess you never know :-)

#5 of 6 from the print mini-series

#118 (of 300) with an order count of 16,858

Off hand I don't know how that compares to the others

Issue six of the He-Man series and an 'Origin of He-Man' one shot issue are supposed to come out on the same day at the end of the month.

I think this number is because the He-Man and Skeletor cover variant ,many people buy both . I think the average motu is 15.00 to 20.000 (in printed format excluding the digital format )

DC Comics has previews of both issue #6 and the Origins of He-Man comic on their Facebook page. They both look pretty good. They both come out tomorrow.

"In case you missed previous issues of HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, Skeletor has rewritten all of Eternia’s history. Now, a scrawny and simple woodsman named Adam (a.k.a. He-Man) is haunted by dreams of his past glory. But will he ever remember his former life as a hero?

I hope the art work is worth it. And hope its a good story and has a lot of characters new and old in it.

**Krueger** · January 29, 2013, 02:00pm

The art in the origin of He-Man issue looks epic:

**gbagok** · January 29, 2013, 03:14pm

Did issue #6 skip a month? I haven't been paying attention to the releases but it's not out yet, right?

RE the new art I don't quite follow how Skeletor can ask "Who are you?" Did he think Adam was dead and He-Man was some other blond guy buried under the rubble? Wasn't Adam holding the sword or was just reach for it enough to make it work? Also it reads like the "birthright" to be king and the destiny to wield the sword have been combined. Although that only confuses me more why Skeletor would need to ask who He-Man/Adam is.

Correct. It comes out tomorrow. You can preview it here: http://www.dccomics.com/galleries/he...erse-6-preview

**heavy-eternium** · January 29, 2013, 04:20pm

About origin of He-Man :wow ! as all art can like it or not but clearly much work is noted each panel, as quality of cover art each panel.

about #6 ,yeah ! the art is only by Pop Mahn and that is noted .

**Invicta** · January 29, 2013, 04:44pm

On Pop Mahn art (issue 6)

Wow from me too. I really like the interior art. Grayskull is looking more like Grayskull and character designs are way more polished. I hope they could stick with this artist based on the sample. Can't wait for the issue to come out.

**Crusader** · January 29, 2013, 05:50pm

Except for Dave Wilkins covers, this is the best art we got from the DC comics so far. I hope we see more of him.

**Darkkosis** · January 29, 2013, 08:13pm

Can't wait for tomorrow to download...

**Mern-Ra** · January 29, 2013, 09:42pm

Do we know if the cover for #6 is gonna be the full 3 fold image, or just the 2 fold we can see right now?

**He-Dude** · January 29, 2013, 10:46pm

I'm trying to like this stuff... but being an original fan since '82 it's hard to accept the new media... but I'm trying. I know it's great for new fans.

**Jukka** · January 30, 2013, 12:22am

From Faker to He-Man.

**Dr Kain** · January 30, 2013, 12:41am

Wow, you guys actually think that origin comic looks good?

Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Could it have been that he was just doing a reflection in the sword and didn't realize it looked like Faker? Or is there something else going on? Huh.

**TuShan** · January 30, 2013, 04:38am

Both comics are available for download on the DC App.

Issue 6 had a very odd twist that I did not expect. No Spoilers here. Waiting for a dedicated thread.
I liked the origin comic. It was better than the Skeletor comic.

**Orko's Magic Hat** · January 30, 2013, 04:40am

Just downloaded them now, they look interesting.
