"However, I know for a fact that a certain generation of people, who grew up at the right time, hold genuine affection for Masters of the Universe. The challenge is to write something that raises the standard for the series, with a cool, modern story that nevertheless honours the fans of the animated series and toy line."

The writer promised a terrifying Skeletor and said that She-Ra would not be making an appearance in his story.

Robinson is currently writing limited series The Shade for DC, and will launch the Earth 2 ongoing series in May.
