The Power of…Point Dread! is a 1982 Masters of the
Universe mini-comic by Cohn, Texeira, and Smith. Here, Skeletor uses his
yoga powers to reclaim Point Dread and the Talon Fighter and then launches an
assault on the Royal Palace.
It’s always nice to see such a well-populated Eternia. And thanks
to the art, this is about the darkest story we’ve had so far: in this, the last
of the pre-Filmation mini-comics, we get a full-fledged battle, with soldiers
getting violently killed. The creative team does a good job of depicting this
clearly without being graphic (although they overdo it with the close-ups of
angry faces).
Aside from Skeletor losing his magic crystal out the window,
there’s no dumbness to speak of here (heck, Beast Man is really on top of
things). Good story, good change of pace.
