As the last survivor of the cult of The Awakened, young Peter Cannon remained on the order’s abandoned compound after the mass suicide of its members, where he continued to train his mind and body to surpass their earthly limits.

Now, having mastered all of the Lightning Vessel techniques, he has returned to the world to confront the man who destroyed his life and built a worldwide empire on top of its wreckage — a man who, in a final insult, calls himself “Peter Cannon”!

But when the battle is joined, it’s the imposter with the army of supporters and the global network who has the upper hand — leaving the true Thunderbolt and his sole ally, Tabu, in a desperate race to survive the Destroyer of Death!

Dynamite’s millionaire martial artist returns in this all-new action-packed reimagining from enlightened author FRED VAN LENTE (Die!namite) and ascended artist JONATHAN LAU (Space Ghost)!

As a child, Peter Cannon grew up in the secluded culture of “The Awakened,” a isolated movement blending New Age psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, extreme fitness, and other esoteric disciplines. But when a mass suicide wiped out almost all of the Awakened’s followers, an orphaned and abandoned Peter was left to find his own way in the world.

Now, years later, the last surviving member of a mysterious mystical order arrives in New York City on a mission of revenge. His target? The renegade master who destroyed his clan — Peter Cannon! But taking out the fabled Lightning Vessel of the Awakened is easier said than done — especially considering that Cannon’s mind-and-body-perfected moves can collapse time and defy death itself!

Featuring harmoniously honed cover art by ROBERT QUINN, JONATHAN LAU, and DAVE ACOSTA, each issue of Peter Cannon Thunderbolt will also include a special Icon cover from master painter ALEX ROSS!

To confront the renegade master who destroyed the teachers of this clan — including their own parents. Their target? Peter Cannon himself. The hidden one has become entrenched within the city’s elite and has his sights set on Peter. Yet they’ll be biting off more than they can chew, as their mark is the one and only fabled Lightning Vessel of the Awakened, able to collapse time with a single strike and defy death itself, Peter Cannon is… the living Thunderbolt!

A mass suicide and fire wiped out almost all of the Awakened’s followers, leaving an orphaned and abandoned Peter to vie for his place in the world.

In a journey across action and intrigue-packed issues, Peter Cannon will meet his companion Tabu, investigate more of the remains of his backstory, clash with rivals and similar-such militia groups, cults, and powerful fighters.
