I was a huge fan of He-Man and She-Ra! I loved the world and never missed an episode. This book was a great trip down memory lane and one I will be looking at many times. I recommend this book to any fan!

Tätä opusta ei voi ainakaan suppeudesta syyttää: kirjassa on esitelty lähestulkoon jokainen Filmationin piirrossarjoissa esiintynyt sivuhahmo ja yksittäisessä sarjakuvapaneelissa taka-alalla vilahtanut henkilö. On eritelty esineet, paikat, vempaimet ja vekottimet.

Ei tätä suurinkaan MotU-intoilija jaksa ihan kirjana lukea, mutta erinomainen selailuteos tämä kyllä on jos aihe vähääkään kiinnostaa.

Very comprehensive guide with helpful text and plenty of illustrative pictures. Characters take up a log of page time but there is plenty of information on beasts, factions, artefacts, magic, locations, and vehicles. When you look up a topic, the text sets out the year/s and iteration/s of He-Man media to which that topic relates, making it clear whether the topic is a one-off or has been picked up in various canons. I'm delighted that (as far as I can tell) no iteration has been neglected.

Two mild criticisms (if they can even be called that):
* A topic might be listed in an unexpected place, for example Prince Adam is not listed as "Adam" with the A characters but as "Prince Adam" with the P characters.
* The compendium does not cover anything past the publication date in 2017, for example the last entry for She-Ra is for the 2012 DC MOTU comics and not the 2018 Netflix series.
