THE COUNTDOWN TO CATASTROPHE BEGINS! In this special 40-page one-shot, acclaimed author ED BRISSON (ThunderCats: Lost, SilverHawks, Apex) and artists ELTON THOMASI and ALICE LECLERT bring readers three special tales that set the stage for a cataclysmic crossover event to come! THE PAST: Claudus’s heir to the throne of Thundera, the cub Lion-O, struggles to understand his destined place at the head of the kingdom. How can he protect an entire realm when he can barely lift a sword? And with the destruction of their planet looming, will the young prince be able to shoulder the burden of leadership? THE PRESENT: With mob boss Mon*Star gone, criminals from the furthest reaches of the galaxy are moving to fill the power vacuum left in his wake — and it’s up to the SilverHawks to stop them. But with their resources stretched thin, the team has to expand — and when Quicksilver and new recruit Chromium take on an intergalactic biker gang, the veteran and the rookie will face a real trial by fire! THE FUTURE: For the ThunderCats trapped in the far future of ThunderCats: Lost in Time, the quest to find a way back to the past is proving to be an exercise in frustration. A restless Neko begins pulling away from her teammates to wage a one-woman war against the Darkbirds, whose secrets may hold the key to the ’Cats survival — past, present, and future! Featuring spacetime-spanning covers from SEBASTIÁN PÍRIZ, MEGHAN HETRICK, FABIO FAILLA, and DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as a special piece of classic ANIMATION ART.

CIVILIZATIONS COLLIDE IN THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE MILLENNIUM!

When Panthro originally set out on his mission to launch a new satellite high above Third Earth, he never imagined that he would wind up changing the destiny of two entire galaxies. But as soon as he boarded the mysteriously deserted space station and began digging into its workings, that destiny was set in motion – and now the day of reckoning is at hand!

Alerted to an anomaly at a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector, The Copper Kid, Quicksilver, and Chromium – the SilverHawks’ newest member – defy Stargazer’s orders and set out on their own to investigate. But as soon as they land on the forbidden planet, they are confronted by a fearsome band of strange, cat-like warriors – and quickly find themselves in a fight for their lives!

The battle is joined by more ThunderCats, including several whose fearsome abilities threaten to overwhelm the isolated SilverHawks. But when a second vessel appears in orbit, it becomes clear to Panthro that reinforcements are on their way – and not even the Eye of Thundera will be able to stop them!

ThunderCats mastermind DECLAN SHALVEY kicks off his greatest Thunderan saga to date with ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1, both writing and drawing this 40-page inaugural issue that serves as the spectacular opening chapter in his 15-part crossover event spanning three titles over five months!

THE SECRETS OF MUMM-RA REVEALED!

Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living has been a sinister enigma to the ThunderCats ever since they first set foot on Third Earth. Now, in the second chapter of author DECLAN SHALVEY’s epic 15-part ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event, the infamous devil-priest’s ancient and tortured history will finally be unveiled!

It all begins in a pyramid – but not the sinister black fortress that haunts Lion-O’s dreams. This is Earth during the reign of the pharaohs, and for one nameless slave a chance discovery and a selfish act of cruelty will open a pathway to both freedom and power – for a price!

Written by Shalvey and illustrated by acclaimed ThunderCats Lost artist RAPHA LOBOSCO, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1 takes a deep dive into one of pop culture’s greatest villains – enhanced by appropriately atmospheric covers from SHALVEY, DANNY EARLS, JOHN AMOR, and ERICA D’URSO, as well as a special piece of classic ANIMATION ART.

This debut issue also features three spectacular incentive editions, including an original cover from Shalvey, a special Mumm-Ra portrait from the WBD Library, and an autographed edition of Shalvey’s main cover signed by ThunderCats original series voice actor LARRY KENNEY!

WINGS OF SHADOW – AND TALONS OF FIRE!

Trapped in the far future, the ThunderCats Lost team is desperately searching for a way to return to the past and prevent the war that could spell the end for all of ‘Cat-kind. But with the dark forces arrayed against them gaining strength every day, the besieged Thunderans of Sixth Earth are beginning to fracture under the ever-increasing pressure.

As Neko strikes out on her own in an attempt to take down their enemies single-handed, her teammates plan one final raid to secure the Thundrillium they need to fuel their journey through time. But unbeknownst to them, behind their enigmatic attackers looms an even greater threat – a force unlike anything they have ever faced before!

Written by ThunderCats Lost and Apex author ED BRISSON and illustrated by VINCENZO FEDERICI, this all-new series’ first issue forms the third chapter in the space-and-time-spanning crossover event that kicks off on April 8th with the debut of ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1!

Forbidden Planet New York Signing

After a hugely successful relaunch earlier this year, the latest issue of Heavy Metal will appear in stores from Wednesday, October 8 – the same week as New York Comic Con! One of the stand-out titles from this new era of the magazine has been John Stanisci’s Gladiatrix, which fuses history, sci-fi, fantasy and hyper-violence into a potent bloody mix.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Forbidden Planet New York will host an all-star signing event for Heavy Metal #3 at their 832 Broadway location on Wednesday, October 8 from 5:00-7:00pm. Joining Gladiatrix creator John Stanisci will be his colorist David Baron, letterer Tom Napolitano and editor Dave Kelly, as well as artist Marco Failla who is illustrating the new serial, Ink.

On an ancient world ruled by eldritch forces, a fierce warrior steps into an arena to confront a sinister gatekeeper and a horde of the undead, but the real test will come from the emerging hero’s willingness to face the haunting weight of her own sins. Issue 3 offers further revelations in the Gladiatrix saga and sets the stage for what’s to come – making it the perfect jumping-on point.

Gladiatrix was co created by John Stanisci and Oscar nominated screenwriter Dan Gordon with special thanks to Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, the creators of Blood Of Zeus on Netflix and Ink for Heavy Metal.

Heavy Metal #3 will be available for signing at the Forbidden Planet New York event on Wednesday, October 8. You can also find it (and earlier issues) at your local comic shop, newsstand or online direct from shop.HeavyMetal.com.
