I am not sure what I was expecting for a book that has a pre-order of, reportedly, 170K. The book doesn't reinvent the wheel, nor does it really set the 'Cats amongst the pigeons. Instead, we get a fun book that features the hallmarks of a classic fan favourite cartoon. Read Full Review

I'm impressed. I had high hopes for what Dynamite could do with the ThunderCats license and issue #1 doesn't disappoint. Shalvey does an incredible job taking the story from familiar territory to something original. Read Full Review

Nostalgic and daring, 'ThunderCats' is a thrilling remix of a beloved '80s classic. THUNDERCATS, HO! Read Full Review

ThunderCats #1 is a good start that lays the groundwork for what's to come. It mostly rushes through it's story to get to its finale which is the real hook for what's to come. It teases too much and doesn't focus enough on what makes the debut comic truly interesting. It's a bit scattered. But still, it's nice to see this classic property return and as a debut, it's more than enough to see what comes next. Read Full Review

Some of the other characters will get additional moments to shine in future issues, and at times the artwork isn't as strong in emotional sequences as it is when swords are clashing. Despite those flaws, Thundercats #1 has set the foundation for a promising adventure, and it should only get better from here. Read Full Review

Overall, ThunderCats #1 is a fun and exciting read that captures the spirit of the original series while also carving out its own path. The artwork is impressive, and the story sets the stage for an epic adventure that promises to keep fans engaged from start to finish. Whether you're a longtime fan or someone who's just discovering the ThunderCats for the first time, this series is worth checking out. Read Full Review

This first issue is a fairly straight forward retelling of the classic ThunderCats origin story. It's a good, solid comic, but doesn't offer anything new or unique to this adaptation. Read Full Review

Plot This first installment tells how this unique crew of Thundercats managed to escape the destruction of Thundera at the hands of the mutants of Plun-Darr and their arrival on the Third Planet (our planet centuries after the apocalypse). Lion-O, Panthro, Cheetarah, Tygra, Wileykit and Wileykat, here explain in detail what happens with León-O's suspended animation capsule, something that the animated series omitted. With the death of his leader Jaga, the Lion-O who must take his place, but despite having the body of an adult, he does not yet have the necessary maturity, but must assume the mantle so that his species can survive the genocide that occurred. they suffered. The Sword of Omens is the only Treasure these surviving Thunde rcats had left from Thundera. The comic highlights how cocky Leon-O is and his desire to prove to everyone and himself that he is the king of Thundera, however this proof comes on its own with the attack of the Plun-Darr mutant called Reptilio, this battle goes to fracture Lion-O's grown ego and awaken a force thirsting for the power of the Eye of Thundera in the Sword of Omens. With a lot of nostalgia and an accelerated narrative pace, Declan brings you to this universe of endearing characters with whom you can identify, bringing joy and good memories to the original fans and being the perfect starting point for new generations, who will delight in the battle cry THUNDER-THUNDER-THUNDERCATS-HOOO. The sequence of Lion-O with the Sword of Omens is beautiful and nostalgic, as is the design of the characters that rescue aspects of the original animated series but refresh them. We just need to see what they did with Snarf. As a fan of this animated series that I managed to see on old square television with antennas in 1986, I am satisfied and excited with the way in which this comic rescues everything I love about the Thundercats. Art It has textures that give the details a retro/vintage touch of comics from the 1980s but at the same time offers great dynamism with the amount of details it offers, with a pastel color palette that continues to provide this vintage tone . Summary Like a thunder bolt full of nostalgia and action, the Thundercats return with a story full of science fiction, magic, mystery and felines with human problems. more

Truthfully, I wasn't a big fan of the original cartoon, but is I can see the draw. This issue did the IP no favors. Beginning like Battlestar Galactica, Lion-o ages in suspended animation due to some kind of faulty mechanics. So, he has the body of an adult wih a mind of a child. This could have been a good stary arc for Lion-o as he must grow into a leader. Instead the writer decides just to make him the leader, which makes zero sense. The art is not very good throughout and the reveal in the last panel isn't enough to make me come back for more. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/awyBZYzJhuA
