DC has done a great job of tapping into He-Man nostalgia with their recent Masters of the Universe books. In hindsight, it was only a matter of time before Eternia's mightiest heroes crossed paths with the Justice League. They are all under one roof now. And while inter-universe crossovers are usually varying shades of generic and disappointing, DC Universe vs. Masters of the Universe avoids many of the usual pitfalls.
The key to this book's success rests in retaining Keith Giffen as writer. Giffen has shown the right blend of reverence for the MotU mythology and willingness to make changes and poke fun at its more outlandish elements. None of that changes as he begins linking Eternia and Earth in a new conflict. But maybe “new” isn't the right word. This crossover manages to spin pretty organically out of the ongoing MotU series, with He-Man and friends still recouping from Hordak's takeover of Eternia and investigating Skeletor's disappearance. With a few logical ties to DC's magic-wielding heroes, the plot is off and running.
