Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products’ blockbuster ThunderCats comic book series explodes to new heights this July in a brand new story arc reuniting writer Declan Shalvey with ongoing artist Drew Moss that brings an exciting first appearance for the series and more!
Following June’s issue #5 with guest artist Stephen Mooney and a focus on Cheetara’s training of Lion-O, the unstoppable tag team of Shalvey and Moss realign for this exciting next step in the epic journey. With the ThunderCats now more settled on their new home planet of Third Earth, it’s time for them to make it their home.
Fans will get to see Drew’s new artistic vision of the team’s base. Even more exciting will be the debut of the Thundertank into the series! Though Lion-O remains the central figure of the series, this arc will shift a bit from each core character issue to issue, showing their relationship with the young upstart heroic leader. Panthro powers up their iconic vehicle to kick off this new arc with a bang. While on a quest to track down sources of Thundrainium, the warrior recalls back to the days of Thundara before its destruction, Lion-O’s time as a cub, but he can’t reminisce too much. He’ll find himself attacked by Mu’Tants and along the way learn more of the history of Third Earth, its penal colony past and the irony of now using it as a sanctuary.
Beyond Panthro and the Thundertank, another big star of ThunderCats #6 is special guest cover artist Rahzzah! The superstar creator is known for his jaw-dropping work on titles like Ghost Rider, Weapon X, Hulk, Darth Vader, and more. Collectors will not want to miss his stunning cover, an open incentive variant.
Rahzzah is joined by the continuing regular cover contributors of David Nakayama, Lucio Parrillo, Shalvey, Jae Lee, Ivan Tao, and an action figure variant. Nakayama’s lead cover shows off the Thundertank in all its glory!
With an approachable largely standalone issue #5, a thrilling new arc in the following #6, and an early release for the first collection, it’s the perfect time to jump into ThunderCats fandom!
