ThunderCats: Cheetara #1 delivers an origin story of one of the show’s most iconic characters

ThunderCats: Cheetara #1

As a child of the 1980s, I cannot believe it has been 40 years since my adolescence. I hated many things about growing up but I also loved many things about it as well. I never could have imagined a time when I had less worries. This is why whenever I am reminded of that time, sometimes; I cannot help but get teary eyed, impacted by the nostalgia of it all.

One of those things I enjoyed was Saturday morning cartoons, which included the ThunderCats. As much as the show was written for kids my age, I always wondered how it would be like it was geared towards a more mature audience. In ThunderCats: Cheetara #1, we get the origin story of one of the show’s most iconic characters, making her even more intriguing.

We are taken to Thundera before the ELE took place, as Cheetara reminisces on the majesty of the planet and its people. We find Cheetara and Jaga as they roam the halls of one of Thundera’s sacred temples, one which holds the Sword of Omens. We soon find out that they are royalty, as they meet up with Tygra, who starting to doubt himself and his place in the royal court. As we find out what happened to Lion-O’s father, how became the ward of Jaga, and how the royal court took a part in his upbringing. By the issue’s end, Cheetara receives a vision that connects Thundera’s past and its impending fatalistic future.

Overall, ThunderCats: Cheetara #1 is an excellent origin story that every ThunderCats fans like me have been waiting four decades for. The story by Soo Lee is enlightening. The art by the creative team of Domenico Carbone, Chiara Di Francia, and Jeff Eckelberry is glorious. Altogether, ThunderCats: Cheetara #1 is a story fans of the franchise will love.
