Art of the Day: Skeletor

Artwork: Skeletor by Dave Rapoza

As a He-Man fan, I think this artwork is so amazing. And if anyone is interested, it's also available to buy from the artist at INPRNT. To support artists, I try to post links to their stores or accounts if they have one.

Teaser trailer for Netflix's Masters of the Universe

I love watching 80s cartoons and one of my favorites is He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. When I heard Kevin Smith was working on a sort of continuation of the 80s animated series, I was interested to see how he would pull it off. After seeing this teaser trailer, which looks fantastic, I'm actually eager to see this new series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The first part of the series will premiere July 23rd on Netflix.

I Want To Read:

Book: Firefly: Big Damn Hero by James Lovegrove and Nancy Holder

Description:

THE FIRST ORIGINAL NOVEL FROM THE MUCH-MISSED SPACE WESTERN FIREFLY, PRODUCED WITH JOSS WHEDON AS CONSULTING EDITOR, SET IN THE HEART OF THE SERIES.

It should have been a routine job, transporting five crates from the planet of Persephone to a waiting buyer. And Lord knows, Captain Mal Reynolds needs the money if he's to keep Serenity flying. But the client is Badger, and nothing that involves him is ever straightforward. The crates are full of explosives, which might blow at the slightest movement.

Just before take-off, Mal disappears. As the cargo grows more volatile by the minute, and Alliance cruisers start taking an interest in the tenacious smuggling ship, it's down to Serenity's first mate, Zoë, to choose between rescuing her captain and saving her crew.

Meanwhile, rumors are spreading on Persephone of a band of veteran Browncoat malcontents who will stop at nothing to be revenged on those responsible for their terrible defeat. Is Mal harboring a dark secret from the war? And can the crew of Serenity find him before it's too late?

Why It's On My List: I love Firefly, the show is one of favorite sci-fi universes and I absolutely had to add this book to my list.

365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #233: He-Man and She-Ra: A Complete Guide to the Classic Animated Adventures

I love 80s cartoons and both He-Man and She-Ra are two of my favorite animated series. And since I'm a huge fan I would love to pick up this official guide book and find out as much as I can about these shows.

It makes me happy that publishers are creating these types of reference books because fans really love this kind of stuff.

30 Days of Geek Chic, Day 5: The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (Book)

I never read any of the He-Man comics but I love watching the 80s cartoon. What's not to love about that show. It features Prince Adam who while pretending to be this lazy and useless person has a giant green and yellow striped cowardly tiger named Cringer.

When trouble arises, Prince Adam transforms into the strongest Man in the Universe, He-Man while cowardly Cringer changes into the fierce Battle Cat.

There are so many characters on that show that are my favorite such as Teela, who is the Captain of the Royal Guard. She also seems to have the arduous job of trying to train Prince Adam.

Which is why for today's Geek Chic, I chose this over 300 page art book because it gives fans a look at a lot of the artwork for this iconic character. The book features art from the 80s to the present showcasing the toys all the way to the comics.

This is indeed another book added to my wishlist that I can't wait to pick up.

This is inspired from the updated He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon series. A quiet moment for Teela and Adam, I like this.

Art of the Day: Teela

Artwork: Teela: Heroic Captain of the Guard by Eamonodonoghue

This picture is great and I love all the details in the background. The artist must be a huge fan of the 80's He-Man animated series. I am, that show has so many great characters and Teela was one of my favorite.

Instead of being like all the other pretty girls she was out there kicking butt as Captain of the Guard. She was smart, tough, witty and fought along side He-Man. She was just cool.
