DC Comics will return to Eternia in July with a six-issue He-Man and the Masters of the Universe limited series by James Robinson, Phillip Tan and Ruy Jose, MTV Geek reports.

Although several companies, from Marvel to Image to CrossGen, have released comics based on the Mattel toyline, DC was the first, introducing Superman to He-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor and other characters in July 1982's DC Comics Presents #47, followed by Masters of the Universe inserts in more than a dozen titles and, later that year, a three-issue miniseries.

In the new series, Skeletor has discovered a way to reshape reality, making himself ruler of Castle Grayskull while leaving the  heroes of Eternia as peasants with no memories of their former lives. As for Prince Adam, the alter-ego of He-Man? He's a woodsman who thinks his visions of wielding a sword in battle are merely dreams.

"Adam is in a place where he really has to reconnect with what it means to be a Master of the Universe," Robinson tells MTV Geek. "It's his odyssey, much like the Greek myth in fact, that is the backbone of this series."
