Lynxana Sneaks Into ThunderCats With a Surprise Blind Bag Comic!

Posted on by Leave a comment

ThunderCats fans beware, Lynxanna the Hunter is on the loose! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Global Consumer Products have announced further details on the ThunderCats #1 premium mystery blind bag and its exciting standout inclusion!

Available in stores this coming November 4, ThunderCats diehards as well as new readers can pick up the exciting blind bag release for the series debut. Not only does every bag contain a copy of ThunderCats #1 by the superstar creative team of Greg Pak and David Cousens, but a huge surprise exclusive comic book!

ThunderCats: Lynxana #1, written by Nate Cosby and illustrated by Sebastián Píriz, features the first modern comics appearance of its titular character. Lynxana is a ThunderCat bounty hunter that hunts other ThunderCats. She was created for the first-ever comic series starring the protectors of Third Earth, originally published in the 1980s by Marvel Comics concurrently with the original animated television show. Lynxana was the ultra-rare comics-exclusive creation who did not appear in the cartoon — nor any subsequent comics to this point. Her debut in ThunderCats #4-6 by writer David Michelinie and artist Jim Mooney introduced her as an exiled ‘Cat who has now become a bounty hunter who hunts them down.

It’s been 40 years since fans last saw her, and many may be meeting her for the first time, as she’s back on the hunt and sneaks her way into ThunderCats #1 in this unexpected way!

Lynxana’s story will continue in a to-be-announced direct sequel releasing February 2027! Then she will crash into the flagship series as well as the companion ongoing ThunderCats: Cheetara by writer Saladin Ahmed (Wolverine, Daredevil) and artist Andrea Arcari. This can’t-miss chapter sets up one of the foremost foes for this exciting new era!

The essential chapter also includes an appearance by a fan-favorite of the SilverHawks squad, Bluegrass!

Eisner-nominated writer Nate Cosby is the mastermind packager and editor behind the entire Dynamite era of ThunderCats comics. He’s joined by artist Sebastián Píriz, who both illustrates and colors this stunning work. The rising star behind Johnny Quest and a string of Ben 10 covers also contributes a cover here.

Collectors can also get alternate variants of Píriz’s cover art in black and white, without trade dress, and with a special ThunderCats logo.

In addition to the Lynxana #1 guaranteed in every bag, fans will get copies of ThunderCats #1 itself by Pak and Cousens, the kickoff for the new flagship of this next phase of stories and a perfect jumping on point. Greg Pak himself has even graced fans with the rarity of his own artwork for a cover that is exclusively available in the bag!

Fans who want to learn more Lynxana can grab her trio of original appearances via the Classic Years reprints available in multiple formats.

SDCC 2026: ThunderCats Pounce into a new era with Greg Pak and David Cousens

Posted on by

Thunder, thunder, thunder, ThunderCats, hooooo! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced a brand-new era for ThunderCats comics with critically acclaimed hitmaker Greg Pak at the helm. Providing fans with a perfect jumping-on point and thrilling new tales, it all starts this October!

The ThunderCats, once the proud sovereigns of Thundera, face a strange new life in exile on Third Earth, no longer ruling, but sharing the planet with the SilverHawks, the cat-hating Mu’Tants, and a multitude of unexplored societies. Lion-O, Lord of ThunderCats, still a youth in a man’s body, grows restless, hungry for bold action and heroism. But this is the time for subtle outreach and diplomacy to usher in an era of peace among equal peoples. Through the wise counsel of Tygra and the watchful friendship of Calica — who first appeared in ThunderCats (2024) #2, Lion-O swallows his pride and prepares to meet the moment.

But 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!

Thus starts the new run by rising star artist David Cousens and superstar writer Greg Pak, renowned for his work on top franchises delivering epic, character-defining stories like Batman/Superman, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, X-Men, Darth Vader, and more. With a new roster of ‘Cats and ‘Hawks, unique new costumes and designs, and an unforgettable opening chapter, this is the ideal opportunity to jump on board the world of ThunderCats!

Known for his electrifying covers for the franchise and interior artwork on the Cheetara: Worldbreaker special, David Cousens joins to bring Pak’s scintillating scripts to the page. The team is rounded out by colorist Igor Monti, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and the continuing guidance of editor Nate Cosby.

ThunderCats #1 features gorgeous covers by Cousens, Mark Spears, Daniele Cellini, Stephen Byrne, and Seth Damoose. Collectors can also chase rare variants with the mystery blind bag offerings. Which may include a HUGE surprise and big first from Dynamite, which will blow ThunderCats diehards away! More details will be shared at release, to not spoil it for fans.

This new series joins the previously announced companion comic, ThunderCats: Cheetara, the historic first ongoing solo series for the character by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Andrea Arcari. The pair of new titles follow the conclusion of the blockbuster ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event that closed the book on the initial Dynamite era of “ThunderVerse” stories driven by Declan Shalvey, Ed Brisson, Drew Moss, and many more.
