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
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
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
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
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
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.

This was much less than I was hoping for. Lion-o begins with a powerful narration then is shown to be nothing like the way he spoke and some of the dialogue feels super stale as if an AI program could do it just as well. The art is subpar and should have been one of the main focuses of the book because the thundercats have always been such expressive looking characters and I found it really distracted from my enjoyment of the book. I did enjoy the portrayal of Slithe and the new moustache Tigra is sporting but not a lot else. Overall a so so start to a series I was really looking forward to.
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.
