Masters of the Universe Volume Two, Issue #4

Showdown in Avion! A mysterious new threat has unleashed itself upon the kingdom of Avion! Are He-Man and the Masters strong enough to battle against this new menace? Or will another Master suffer the same fate as Mekaneck and Man-At-Arms? With the arrival of this new menace, the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull clues the Masters in to another menace that is far more dreadful! Who or what is this other menace, and how is it linked to the events in Avion? Can the Masters fight battles on two different fronts or will they falter?

“We’re thrilled at the response to the second He-Man mini-series. We’ve raised the stakes and keep pushing the envelope for every issue that follows. The penciling team of Emiliano Santalucia and Enza Fontana is a tag team that can’t be beat!
For this issue, we’ve commissioned world-renown painters Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell to create a phenomenal iconic masterpiece which will grace the cover of the prestige edition to Issue #4. It’s been our most popular painted cover to date!” says MV Group Editor Leanne Shaw.

With Season Two of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’s Animated Series gearing up in the Fall of 2003 on the Cartoon Network, He-Man and the Masters will be facing not only Skeletor, but a new menace that slithers its way back into Eternia.
