Thank you much Daniele, and may I ask, whose art is that?... It's just fantastic, very reminiscent of Alfredo Alcala's style but a bit more vivid and organic! Simply awesome.

[Robarr The Morbid]

Super-Sweeeeet! I love it!

[KnightStorm]

Very cool.

[Andy]

I like that you gave anti he-man a goatee. Also thanks for finally giving a visual for castle angelface.

[danbrenus]

Thanks everyone, guys.
Just a note, Dark-He-man , Castle Angelface and most of the "anties" came from the COTUworld concepts and ideas, see here:

Plus, I've placed every sort of easter eggs all around the comic, can you see it all? And what terrible secret is hidden in the last page?

[Battle Ram Man]

These are amazing. I've been a big fan of your work for a while now. I eat this stuff up!

[GREP-A-TOR]

Thanks for posting this. I didn't think the Transformers Shattered Glass concept would translate to He-Man, well, I think it does now. I always dug ANTI-He-Man, but seeing good Keldor was a trip - it really works.

[Mechanizor]

I simply cannot stop looking at this art work, it's so mesmerizing, please don't stop indulging us with your craft.

[Draego-Man]

Awesome work, wow!!!

[Nankeiro]

Thanks a lot for sharing your great art, danbrenus.

[danbrenus]

Thanks everyone Truebelievers, I just wish to claim that everything I did here of Dark-Eternia, comes from the minds of Rob Hexevo (aka Galaxywarrior) and SkeletonCrew, creators of the COTUworld universe, which inspired me a lot in these years.

....still nobody figuring out the easter eggs?

[Mechanizor]

....still nobody figuring out the easter eggs?

Do you mean easter eggs like the Horde shin armors (Greaves) on page 3, or hidden shapes within the art itself like what it appears to be Adam's face shape on the back of Skeletor's hood on page 12?

[danbrenus]

Uh..nope. The shin armors are just made as they appeared on Skeletor in first minicomic, and Adam face???? Man, you got imagination! I really haven't noticed it until now! So, no, there are a big amount of "hidden" things...

[Mechanizor]

Well, in that case all I see skulls, weapons, staffs, symbols on the tapestry/flags, evil eyes, and I don't know if they were part of your hidden easter eggs or not!

[Captain Atkin]

Man-at-Arms looks kind of mean in that last picture... lol. Is he really the Anti-Man-at-Arms?

[Draego-Man]

Sorry I can't find anything. I've looked for a long time. Why don't you just tell us?

[danbrenus]

OK then, but you'll bite your hands...it's Orko! I always hated the fllying fleabag, and finally, off panal, Skeletor blasted him to cinder after he was freed from his chain BWAHAHAHAHAH!

[Draego-Man]

Oh, I never cared for Orko either, so I didn't notice.

[Mechanizor]

I'm no fan of Orko either, so I didn't care if he's still around or not... But off panel? Come on!!! Even Man-At Arms didn't show his pleasure after Orko's demise!
