Masters of the Universe: Revelation shared several new takes on the series’ characters, and that’s most true of Skeletor. While fans didn’t get to see much of the famous villain through the first few episodes, Skeletor is heading into the second part of the series with a much more powerful form than ever and will likely cast a shadow over the rest of the series’ events. Unfortunately, Masters of the Universe: Revelation has yet to set a release date for Part 2 just yet.
ComicBook.com’s Evan Valentine reviewed the series’s first five episodes (which you can find here). Stating the following about its debut,“Smith and company really dive headfirst into the history of Eternia with this new series, exploring a lot of territories that are sure to satiate die-hard fans while also helping to bring in new viewers…At its heart, Masters of the Universe: Revelation is a love letter to the world of Eternia from Kevin Smith and crew, and it’s one that’s most assuredly worth reading.”
