Ok one for you MOTU fans.
Is there any comics of MOTU that's a definitive read or a series that wasn't campy like the cartoon and was a more serious take on it?
Any input appreciated

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

alway been a fan of the original mini- comics. Don't collect Motu classics so couldn't tell you if those are any good. DC currently has a series thats gained a pretty good following and is probably what you're looking for. Haven't actually got around to reading them myself though, but I will eventually.

As RT said, the original mini comics are great.
The first arc of the current DC comic was pretty bad; however, the second arc was much better. I haven't read the latest arc yet because I just got a hold of issue two today, but from everything I've heard, it is good as well. The current comic is definitely not Filmation or campy.
I don't think there is a definitive read though. The MOTU mythos is very fragmented. Every incarnation has taken significant liberties with what came before.

I have enjoyed all of the MOTU comic series from the original mini-comics to the DC series now.

Yep. It's concept, but looked good. Kind of foggy, so hopefully that's just an artist interpretation and not a sign they are getting edgy and dark for the movie. I don't need a Dark Knight He-Man. More a serious yet fun He-Man tone like the Avengers or first Iron Man movie.

I know you're just using the movies you mentioned for comparison, but I hope its nothing like any of them. I've never thought of MOTU as being similar to comic book/superhero stuff.
