I thought it would be fun to highlight a cool project from one of my Patreon supporters, Assad Shamsi. He’s written a fan comic series called Good Journey, which is set in the world of the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie. The comic is illustrated by Emily Stewart, and it’s available for free in its entirety here.

This will be a multi-part series, introducing characters into the 1987 movie world that didn’t actually appear there. The first comic is called “Forewarning,” and it’s illustrated with some really charming artwork. In terms of timeline, it’s set not too long after the defeat of Skeletor at the end of the original movie. The story begins with Gwildor, who in a panic, discovers he has lost his Cosmic Key.

We get a shot of Castle Grayskull, where the Sorceress warns He-Man that she senses danger. However, He-Man gets an alert from Gwildor, and has to leave.

He-Man arrives and helps Gwildor search his house. Using a tracking device, they hop onto the Wind Raider, which has been scaled down to look a bit like a flying motorcycle, and the tracker takes them to a cave at the foot of some mountains.

Who does He-Man encounter in the cave? I won’t spoil it here, but I’ll leave it to you to read the comic and find out. It’s a quick and charming read, and I encourage you to check it out!

Assad says that he plans to continue the storyline out into 7-10 issues, imagining it as if it were a movie divided up into multiple installments. He’s already done the script for the second issue, and Emily is currently working on the art. So look forward to more of these in the future!

Until next time, good journey!
