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.

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!

Artist Drew Moss Drops Into ThunderCats X SilverHawks!

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced an exciting surprise update to the ThunderCats X SilverHawks comic book crossover event. Fan-favorite artist Drew Moss is dropping in and will be joining the expansive creative team, as the ongoing interior artist for the flagship ThunderCats X SilverHawks series past the first issue.

Now expanding the cockpit back to a two-seater, Declan Shalvey welcomes Drew on board for more fun! The creative duo were at ground zero collaborating on ThunderCats #1 in February 2024 when it blew fans away and scorched up the charts. Comics franchise editor Nate Cosby tagged in a few guest creators for a string of acclaimed special breather issues between story arcs, but Moss was the powerhouse illustrating the vast majority of issues in the series for over two years, including several covers too. And he continues that signature association and run with the biggest story yet!

Following the un-spoiled events of the first issue and accompanying second and third chapters of the crossover in its companion titles, both the ThunderCats and SilverHawks squads find themselves reeling. The ‘Hawks descend upon Third Earth, with plans to apprehend every ‘Cat in sight. What they can’t account for is the ferocious feline instincts of Cheetara!

In addition to the pulse-pounding storytelling of Shalvey and Moss, ThunderCats X SilverHawks #2 sports electrifying covers by Shalvey, Lucio Parrillo, Eric Canete, Chuma Hill, and a piece from the animation archives.

Fans will not want to miss adding the essential fifth and sixth chapters of the crossover to their preorders and reading lists as well.

In Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #2 by Shalvey and Rapha Lobosco, the master sorcerer awakens in a land not his own — Second Earth! Caught in a land where he is ever-dying and ever-reviving, he must make a pact with the Ancient Spirits to learn their magics, and discover the dark cost of immortality.

Closing out the month of May, ThunderHawks #2 by Ed Brisson and Vincenzo Federici chronicles the now SilverHawks armor-clad ‘Cats crew lost in space and time making preparations to escape from the dystopian future they’re trapped within. It will take a massive diversion, considerable power… and a sacrifice that will rock the team and the entire comics franchise to its core!

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!

Featuring astronomically appealing covers from SHALVEY, LUCIO PARRILLO, ERIC CANETE, and BEN OLIVER, as well as a special piece of classic ANIMATION ART, ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1 also features two tremendous incentive editions – a special cover reproducing Declan Shalvey’s original layouts for the issue, and an autographed edition of Ben Oliver’s cover signed by ThunderCats original series voice actor LARRY KENNEY!

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!

Dynamite reveals the ThunderCats X SilverHawks Crossover!

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have unveiled the key creative and story details for the kickoff of the 15-part interconnected epic comics story ThunderCats X SilverHawksNow, with so many superstars involved, the full slate of variant covers across all three involved titles is revealed!

Ed Brisson and Declan Shalvey are writing this historic crossover. Fans who have been longtime fans of his, and even those continuing here from his preceding prolific run on the flagship ThunderCats series know Declan is also an artistic powerhouse. His three covers across ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1, and ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks were shown in the initial announcement for this event.

ThunderCats and SilverHawks Unite for the First Time in April 2026

The story everyone has been waiting for is finally here! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced a historic comics crossover event 40 years in the making. ThunderCats X SilverHawks kicks off this April with a trio of interconnected comic book titles telling a thrilling 15-part epic story from top creators as the pinnacle of over two years of revitalized storytelling. Civilizations collide in the crossover of the millennium, as writers Declan Shalvey and Ed Brisson pick up the pieces and ramp up threads from nearly 60 issues of new tales across the ThunderCats and SilverHawks mythos, cresting to a can’t-miss climactic crossover for dedicated diehards, and an approachable starting-point thrill ride for those intrigued by this blockbuster.

Critically acclaimed author and illustrator Declan Shalvey kicked off this whole era with the records-setting ThunderCats #1, and here he continues his signature contributions to the saga by not only writing, but also drawing the first issue of the flagship series starting in ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1. This follows the conclusion of the milestone ThunderCats #25 and the setup special ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Road to War. Extra-sized with 30 story pages, the kickoff chapter starts it all with a bang.

Panthro of the ThunderCats’ mission to launch a new satellite high above his adoptive home of Third Earth resulted in an unexpected turn of events that will change the destiny of two entire galaxies. Alerted to an anomaly at a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector, The Copper Kid, Quicksilver, and Chromium of the SilverHawks set out to investigate. As soon as they land on the forbidden planet, they’re confronted by a fearsome band of strange, cat-like warriors — and quickly find themselves in a fight for their lives!

The second series and part two starts with ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1. Shalvey also scripts this look at the archnemesis of the entire franchise, alongside artist Rapha Lobosco. Mumm-Ra has been a sinister enigma to the ‘Cats ever since they first set their paws on Third Earth, and now the full ancient and tortured history of the infamous devil-priest will be revealed! While interweaving with the ever-evolving 15-part epic, this series dually functions as an essential origin for fans.

Following his fan-favorite chronicles of the SilverHawks, the ThunderCats Lost team, and a string of scintillating specials, writer Ed Brisson writes the third title involved in the crossover, joined by artist Vincenzo Federici. ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks #1 follows events from ThunderCats: Lost in Time and the Road to War special, starting with the Lost team trapped in the far future desperately trying to get back home and prevent the cataclysmic war that could end all of ‘Cat-kind. They’ll find themselves donning SilverHawks bionic suits and fighting in this unknown, hostile space and time.

Each month from April through August 2026 will feature a new chapter from all three titles, continuing to build and complement each other to form the ultimate ThunderCats and SilverHawks legend and celebration of these fabled franchises.

Supernatural #2 is a solid second issue delivering a one and done story

Supernatural #2

Hunting monsters is a rewarding calling, but it doesn’t exactly pay well (or, really, at all). Sam and Dean are just about broke when Dean hits on the idea of raising funds the old-fashioned way — by gambling what little cash they have at a casino. After settling in to see if his brother can manage to lose gracefully, Sam makes a new friend at the bar. Strangely enough, this sympathetic siren seems to have an uncanny ability to change the brothers’ fortunes for the better — or possibly for the very worst! Supernatural #2 is an excellent second issue that again you can pick up and just enjoy on its own.

I’ve never really been into Supernatural. I haven’t watched an episode and can’t think of any comics I had previously read before this series. My only real interaction is just seeing the massive fandom online. So, I went into the first issue of the series knowing very little but came out enjoying it. And now with Supernatural #2, I’m starting to become a fan. Written by Greg Pak, the second issue does what the first does so well, allows you to just pick it up and enjoy it. The comics, so far, have given just enough to understand the story, creating one and done reading experiences that seem so few in comics today. You can pick up the first issue and just enjoy it. You can pick up the second and just enjoy it. You don’t need to know about the tv show, previous issues, or left with a cliffhanger as to what comes next. They’re self-contained issues and that alone makes it stand out.

But, Pak makes sure the comics are fun. The two brothers in Vegas come across some otherworldly shenanigans and get somewhat involved. It all is easy to follow, deals with no mythology, and has the charm of the debut issue. It’s the type of comic you can just enjoy on its own.

The art consists of a team and that isn’t noticeable. Pasquale Qualano, Alessandro Ranaldi, Vincenzo Federici, and Eder Messias all provide art with Ellie Wright on color and Jeff Eckleberry on lettering. It wasn’t until after I read it looking at the credits did I find out four different artists handled the issue. The art is good. The characters look like the actors and the casino they’re in comes off as one without being overcrowded and overdone. It keeps things simple visually.

Supernatural #2 is a fun comic. It keeps things focused and simple, sticking to a straightforward story and not getting distracted by some great mythology. It continues an excellent introduction to these characters and world and slowly making me a fan of it all.

Follow Raphael on a lone adventure that picks up after issue #150! Plus, stories featuring Mutant Island, Casey Jones, Pepperoni, and the Punk Frogs!

In the prelude story “Monster Island,” Old Hob has established a settlement on Mutant Island, but Colonel Wesley Knight is still suspicious and has been monitoring him. Wanting a closer look, Knight finds the bodies of several mutants strung up in spiderwebs on the island!

After the events of “The Armageddon Game,” the Turtles have found themselves at a crossroads, attempting to keep their family united while individually feeling the need to break away and explore life in a world that knows about mutants. To clear his head, Raphael jumps on his motorcycle and heads west on a solo road trip with the wind at his back and no destination in mind…until a dormant enemy out for revenge on the Turtles engineers a dangerous detour to Area 51. When Raphael is held hostage with some unexpected old friends, his soul-searching quest mutates into a crisis as he brawls in the desert to keep the E.P.F.’s cache of coveted technology out of the wrong hands. Will Raphael find his new purpose away from his brothers…or just more trouble than he can handle alone in “Ambush at Area 51!” by writer Tom Waltz and artist Vincenzo Federici?

Then, in “Casey Jones, Agent of the Foot Clan” by writer Erik Burnham and artist Mateus Santolouco, after the events of The Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan, can Casey tolerate Karai’s descent into ruthlessness, or will he turn his back on the Foot? Also included are two short stories, “Pepperoni on the Side” by writer Paul Allor and artist Jose Jaro, and “Frogs vs. Punks” by writer Caleb Goellner and artists Ilias Kyriazis and Auguste Kanakis.

Volume 1 collects “Monster Island” from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha and Mutant Nation issues #1–5.
