And now that it&#8217;s here, I have a huge pile of newly purchased figures, and a bunch of pages for what is one of the most awesome comics I&#8217;ve ever gotten to work on,\u201d said Seeley. \u201cTo say Freddie and I approached this Dark Horse series with some screaming-our-heads-off-style enthusiasm is underselling it a bit. I can&#8217;t wait until you get to read this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He-Man and the Ninja Turtles? Tim &amp; I have been discussing potential plots and ideas for a few years, and he still surprised me with an even cooler (unique) way to connect these world, and reconnect and connect again\u2026 in this bending world hopping, time skipping approach,&#8221; added Williams. &#8220;This crossover has a long lineage- many of us fans have been bashing He-Man and the Ninja Turtles together since we were kids! And I\u2019m honored and thrilled to draw it! I\u2019m lucky to be working with Tim and Andrew (Dalhouse, series colorist). Can\u2019t wait for everyone to check it out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came across Krang and Shredder making a deal with some otherworldly \u2018demon-mage\u2019 named Skeletor, things got hella-weird and they ended up in ETERNIA! It turns out, when you mix Utrom mutagen with demon magic you get a nasty purple poison\u2014and it\u2019s brought Eternia to the brink of chaos. So, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo are teaming up with the Masters of the Universe to kick some blue boney butt. The only problem is\u2026He-Man is missing in action.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-39420 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=39422'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Turtles-and-He-Man3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=39423'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Turtles-and-He-Man2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Masters of the Universe\/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops on September 25, 2024.
