He-Man and She-Ra: A Complete Guide to the Classic Animated Adventures Kindle & comiXology

This is a book that has been over 30 years in the making - literally! Pretty much anything you could possibly ask for in an episode guide is included in this wonderful tome. Each thick, beautifully laid-out page contains an episode synopsis, memorable quotes from the episode, the cast of characters who appear in the episode, deleted scenes, trivia, episode title/air date/production number, bonus information, and, of course, reviews! Whew! On top of all of this, there is also animation cels, production sketches, background paintings, and never-before-seen artwork to make an already invaluable guide even better.My heartfelt thanks and eternal gratitude go out to James Eatock, Robert Lamb, Alex Hawkey, DarkHorse Books and everyone involved in the production of this incredible book. From the very first page you will know how much love and dedication went into the making of this work. Not only is the information spot-on, but it carries a real sense of care and humor in each of the author's reviews and captions. Every page acts as a reminder to why we love He-Man, She-Ra and their universe so dearly.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If I were able to, I'd give this ten-stars - easily. I have always considered myself to be a huge Masters of the Universe / Princess of Power fan, but even I found something new on every page! If you are a fan of He-Man, or if you just enjoy a magnificently constructed guide to the world of one the 80's most iconic products, then you owe it to yourself to pick this book up. Trust me, if you are reading this review then I know you have some working knowledge of He-Man and She-Ra. Get this book, you will not regret it.

Love it

Dark Horse has been knocking it out of the park with the series of He-Man and She-Ra companion books.James Eatock is well known in fandom as an expert on 80's animation and pop culture. He is the publisher of a fantastic fanzine called Cereal Geek and is an authority on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I was thrilled when I found out he was authoring this book. He has contributed to the other Dark Horse MOTU books.This volume is a complete and total recap of every single episode of the two classic animated series. It has character breakdowns, episode over view, reused animation, trivia and more. Stills from the show, production art, script pages and even examples of the cell animation.If you ARE a fan of the Masters of the Universe and Princess of Power, it's an absolute must. If you WERE a fan and remember the shows from when you were a kid, it's a fantastic glimpse in to your childhood. I promise you'll want to go out and buy the DVDs so you can watch them again.

Hardback version | 5 stars - those who worked on collecting, editing, interviewing -- well done, all.Comixology version | 5 StarsKindle version | 3 starsAddition for future customer reference: Reading and viewing of all of these related MOTU reference books are superior in their Comixology versions -- buy on Amazon Kindle store, yet download the Comixology app, sign in with your Amazon login and then you can immediately see the difference between the Kindle version and the Comixology formatting. With the Comixology format, you can zoom in on the page and command the comic viewing option as well, if you so wish. Also about the Comixology formatted page: you realize it is exactly as the print version instead of a Kindle-ized version (which is still better than the horrid, white, unyielding borders on the Kindle pages of the Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Kindle ebook).

I owned the original self-published "Unofficial" version of this book, and it was a great read full of thorough episode breakdowns and trivia. I'm happy to say that this version of the book, now an "Official" publication, is a huge improvement over an already fantastic experience.If you're the sort of person who loves the old He-Man and She-Ra cartoons from the 80's, AND you like to get a little behind the scenes info about shows, then you'll no doubt like this book. Besides being an impressively solid hardcover that looks great on your shelf, it covers episode breakdowns, character appearances, voice actors, animation re-use, original air dates in multiple markets, all of the post-episode morals which were a cornerstone of the He-Man cartoon, and plenty more. A LOT of content here for the price.

My son is enjoying reading this book.

Everything about this book is amazing - The cover, the quality of paper, the format, and most importantly: The content!

Nice bonus information about every episode. Quite interesting to browse; not just a book that sits unused.
