Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes
Feb 07, 2024I 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

Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg
Feb 07, 2024I'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

Graphic Policy - Brett
Feb 07, 2024ThunderCats #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

ComicBook.com - Matthew Aguilar
Feb 07, 2024Some 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

Feb 08, 2024Overall, 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.

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Feb 10, 2024This 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

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
