Entertainment Weekly has been rolling out a bevvy of exclusives from their San Diego Comic-Con preview issue and their latest reveal focuses on the reboot of the 1985 He-Man spinoff, She-Ra: Princess of Power.  The new reboot is titled She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, an indication that a greater focus will be placed upon the supporting cast.

Spearheading the show's development is Noelle Stevenson, a comic book writer best known for her award-winning indie titles, Nimona and Lumberjanes.

Series Synopsis:
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is the story of an orphan named Adora, who leaves behind her former life in the evil Horde when she discovers a magic sword that transforms her into the mythical warrior princess She-Ra. Along the way, she finds a new family in the Rebellion as she unites a group of magical princesses in the ultimate fight against evil.
 

 
Speaking to EW, Stevenson revealed that she had to pitch her ideas to win over Dreamworks executives. Her position wasn't just simply handed to her.

"When you’re working on a pitch, you have no idea if it’ll go or not, or really what will happen. At that stage, anything can happen, so it’s best not to get too attached to what you’re working on. But I realized at one point, ‘Oh my God, I love this, I really, really want this.’ Two and a half years later, I’ve only gotten more entrenched in it. It is very, very dear to me."

 
She-Ra marks the first time Stevenson has held the position of showrunner. "I’ve had to learn so much in such a relatively short period of time because being a showrunner requires so many different skills. It’s not just making a comic where it’s you yourself writing, drawing, doing everything; you are working with a team of people. "
It seems the reboot will start from the same origin that the 1985 series began- "Adora, was kidnapped as a baby and raised with the Evil Horde, only to discover her true identity later in life."

 
SHe-Ra and the Princesses of Power premieres November 16 on Netflix.

What do you think of the art-style? She-Ra trended on Twitter for a few hours are the stills were first revealed but it was primarily due to fanboy complaints that the redesigned She-Ra wasn't "hot enough"....
