Thundercats #5

If we're getting more Thundercats like this, you can count me all the way in. Read Full Review

Mooney delivers some fantastic art in the issue. The story has a dark tone that brilliantly captures the mood and tone of the story. Read Full Review

THUNDERCATS #5 pauses after the end of the first arc for an issue-long training and counseling session between Lion-O and Cheetara. Guest Artist Stephen Mooney does his best to fill the gap between the arcs for a character piece that bestows important lessons about life and leadership to Lion-O. However, the art ranges from unintentionally comical to bizarrely inconsistent, and the dialog sounds like a third-rate Shakespeare knockoff. All signs point to a rush job to fill the monthly character. Read Full Review

Plot Leon-O is still grieving over losing the Sword of Omens, so Cheetara wakes him up early to train him, very similar to one of the episodes of the animated series, however this installment analyzes how the leader of the Thundercats feels existentially, who does not have the necessary maturity to control the power of his adult body. Cheetara explains to Leon-O that he must learn from his mistakes and Chhetara trains him in hand-to-hand combat with his super speed, so Leon-O must understand that he must surpass her not in strength but in cunning, he must learn to use his intuition and intelligence. Interesting bridge between the first arch and the new one that begins at number 7. As a fan of this animated series that I managed to see on mustache antenna televisions in 1986, my enthusiasm continues to grow as well as my interest in seeing what turn this reboot of the Thundercats will have. Art It is full of textures and its designs of the Thundercats are closer to realistic, they seem more feline than human. Summary Cheetara teaches Lion-O lessons so he can learn to be a better leader more

This issue was a bit on the dull side. It was handled better than your average modern day book where the heroes discuss recent events in their lives but was still a bit of a bore when compared to what one expects from a Thundercats series. I really hope we don't have to deal with this after every big battle they have. I really hope the Cheetara mini-series will be better. For some reason I'm not really very excited for it. Anyway it sounds like more action next issue, which is good. I think the writers will find they'll attract more readers with that in a Thundercat book than characters sitting and discussing their feelings.
