Praise for Masters of the Universe comics:

“A fascinating new story set Masters of the Universe: Forge of Destiny #1 in a previously untapped period of Eternian history, and an absolutely essential purchase for any self-respecting Masters of the Universe fan.”—Big Comic Page

"Overall, Masters of the Universe: Masterverse #1 is a smorgasbord of treats for He-Man fans. It leans into the different elements of the mythology and cuts diamonds out of the rough."—CBR

"Dark Horse Comics’ Masters of the Universe: Masterverse #1 recalls the innocence and wonder of the 1980s comics and movies. By exploring two alternative versions of Eternia, this issue celebrates the qualities of a true hero."—The Comicbook Dispatch

"Whether you’re a fan of all things He-Man or only have love for the 80’s Filmation cartoon, the inside baseball nature of the story doesn’t flaunt its knowledge in the reader’s face to prove a point. It uses that information to craft an exciting story that all MOTU fans will thoroughly enjoy."—Forces of Geek

Cover #1 sketch by Axel Giménez

Originally artist Axel Giménez was attached to the Dark Horse miniseries. He had done the cover and some sequential pages, and mentions on his Facebook post, that "got to work on the design of two new Evil Horde females and a few other sketches." Axel designed the two new characters Tarangela and Succubug. When fans asked why the two characters were given a different design in the final comic, Axel stated "I don't know. They were very happy with my designs when they saw them."

There is an interesting timeline for the creation of the characters Tarangela and Succubug. Writer Tim Sheridan has mentioned on his Instagram account and on YouTube interview that he had created the two characters for the cartoon. But they were "scrapped before production started". But that later he wanted to revive them for the comic series. (Daniel HDR later re-shared Tim's exact post on his own Instagram)

After Axel Giménez had to pull out from the comic project, Daniel HDR was assigned as the artist. It is unclear if the designs by Axel were shown to him and he simply decided to do his own take on them, or if he was only given the descriptions based on Sheridan's comic script.
