THE FUTURE ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE! Ripped from their adopted home of Third Earth, the ThunderCats Pumyra, Neko, Lynx-O, and Ligon find themselves trapped on the distant future world of Sixth Earth – a broken, dystopian planet ruled by a totalitarian police state, where cats are outlawed and hunted to the brink of extinction.
To prevent this nightmarish future from ever coming into existence, the quartet must find a path back to their own time – and that means infiltrating the government’s omniscient surveillance grid and shutting it down. But what they discover at the center of the all-seeing network chills them to their very cores – and what they learn about a certain upcoming event will send shockwaves though the lives of every Thunderan past, present, and future! ED BRISSON, the acclaimed author of Apex and ThunderCats Lost, joins special guest artist CHRIS CAMPANA (Red Sonja, Vampirella) for this pivotal 40-page one-shot that bridges two different worlds – and sets the stage for a universe-shaking crossover event that will change the course of ThunderCats history!
Featuring all-new original cover art by DECLAN SHALVEY, ENID BALAM, ALESSANDRO RANALDI, and CAT STAGGS, ThunderCats Lost in Time #1 will distribute all covers – including variants and limited edition incentives – randomly in a single Mystery Blind Bag offering!

Discovery Global Consumer Products! Alongside Declan Shalvey who kicked it all off with writing the continuing flagship ‘Cats title, writer Ed Brisson has contributed so much to this new era of stories for ThunderCats fans in comic books.

It’s up to the likes of Ligon, Lynx-O, Neko, Pumyra, and a mysterious defector to figure out what’s going on, if they can find a way back home, and how to prevent this dark future from coming to pass!
Brisson is joined by artist extraordinaire Chris Campana, a veteran with contributions to countless blockbuster comics including G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Red Sonja, Vampirella, Lady Death, Pathfinder, and many others. This duo are laying the groundwork for huge developments in ThunderCats comics to come as 2026 marches on, making this upcoming release a truly essential prelude and stepping stone to things to come…
