During the 2002-2004 "Masters of the Universe" comic by MVCreations, the creators included lot of Easter Eggs, homages and nods to amuse themselves while working hard on the comic. In this thread I will collect all the easter eggs I can find.
Masters of the Universe (Target 2 Pack Comic)
This comic was packed in with a 2-pack of He-Man and Skeletor action figures sold at Target. It was in the very early stages when MVCreations pursued the license from Mattel to produce a MOTU Comic. The comic was done in about 2 weeks time, which meant that the studio got the deal.
As you can notice, the style of the comic is very stylized.
This is due to Emiliano drawing the issue in the style of preview images of He-Man and Skeletor (which were illustrated by Ruben Martinéz)

The Pastries Orko is juggling are actual Sicilian pastries.
