Masters Of The Universe #01

He-Man battles against the Evil Horde and Hordak!

Skeletor has been using his power to keep his enemy and former teacher, Hordak, out of Eternia and trapped in his realm Etheria, but even the evilest man in Eternia’s power is waning. So Skeletor dons The Terror Claws of Allocca, and travels to Castle Grayskull, where the Sorceress sees his coming and summons her protector, He-Man.

Meanwhile, back at the Palace of Eternia, Adam, Teela, Man-at-arms and Orko are training when Adam sees the call and sneaks off to transform into He-man. He then rushes off to Castle Grayskull with Orko and Battle Cat. There he tries to stop Skeletor from using the Terror Claws to breach Grayskull’s walls, but in the process a portal to Etheria opens and Hordak and his Horde pour through.

Soon they overwhelm He-Man and Skeletor but before Hordak can kill them, Skeletor demands Hordak face him one on one. This forces Hordak to send He-Man and his own horde to the Freight Zone where they appear to be trapped. Luckly, He-Man uses his strength to break from his cell and uses Orko’s magic to get back to Eternia.

Back in Eternia He-Man, with the help of Man-at-Arms and Teela is able to fight Hordak away from Skeletor, just long enough for Skeletor to banish his former teacher back to Etheria, but before He-Man can capture Skeletor he too vanishes, leaving a warning behind. He-man has traded one evil for another and Skeletor won’t be as easily defeated as Hordak.
