During the New York Comic Con, Dynamite Entertainment revealed new details about the upcoming Thundercats comic book series.
“Getting to work on these characters is a dream come true based on a dream I never dared have,” said writer Declan Shalvey in a press release. “ThunderCats is one of those shows that blew my tiny mind when I first saw it. The scope, the imagination, the action. Looking back at it now, it has so many creative concepts woven through it, there’s so much room to explore this world that I’m excited to dig into. Especially, to see it all reimagined through Drew’s eyes. This February, the ThunderCats are loose!”
Artist Drew Moss said, “When I first received the offer to draw ThunderCats, the eight-year-old inside of me did a backflip. I immediately started doing sketches and it brought me back to my youth. It is a dream come true to have the opportunity to add to the mythos with Declan, who I’ve admired for a long time. I still smile when I say it, ‘Thunder, thunder, ThunderCats, ho!'”
The ThunderCats mythos of fierce feline warriors from the planet Thundera was created by Ted Wolf. With their beloved homeworld in its death throes, they must flee and find a new home, but are attacked by the Mutants of Plun-Darr, diverting them to Third Earth and starting a long conflict between these two groups. With other foes like the ancient Mumm-Ra, the likes of Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Panthro, WilyKit and WilyKat, and others will hone their skills and survive. Readers can expect to see these elements and characters in the new comics.
Thundercats #1 arrives in February 2024.
