What’s after the ThunderCats and SilverHawks crossover currently running through multiple Dynamite comics? A new number one issue for ThunderCats, of course… And a new creative team: writer Greg Pak and artist David Cousens.
“I’ve been hungry to dig into a story like this for years,” said Pak via press release. “Anything can happen on Third Earth, and if you’ve ever watched the original ThunderCats cartoons, you know that anything and everything did. There’s a huge element of surprise and wildness to this particular mix of science fiction and fantasy, and we’re taking it as far as we can. I’m also thrilled to be working on a story that feels deeply relevant about heroes slamming up against the limits of monarchy and teetering between triumph and catastrophe as they struggle to become a free people. Huge fun, massive action, big emotion, and searing relevance? You want this book!”
As the new volume picks up, the ThunderCats are now sharing Third World with the SilverHawks, as well as “cat hating Mu’Tants.” While Lion-O is working to establish a new peace, “everything changes when a mysterious meteor streaks across the sky, casting strange light over an assembly of Third Earth’s tribes. Who is the Feral King? What is his mission? And whom will he champion — or destroy? The future of the ThunderCats, Mumm-Ra’s legions, and all the peoples of Third Earth hangs in the balance!”
Also on the book are colorist Igor Monti, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and editor Nate Cosby. ThunderCats #1 hits stores in October with covers by Cousens, Mark Spears, Daniele Cellini, Stephen Byrne, and Seth Damoose. Dynamite also promises the requisite blind bags will contain “a HUGE surprise and big first from Dynamite, which will blow ThunderCats diehards away!” Is that surprise a cat? The good news is that if you don’t open the bag, you’ll never know if the cat is dead or alive.
