In the aftermath of his first battle with the Mu'Tants, Lion-O attempts to use the Sight Beyond Sight to ask for guidance from their lost leader, Jaga. The vision he receives instead leads the ThunderCats to discover another Thundarian survivor on Third Earth! Meanwhile, Slithe and his Mu'Tant band have discovered the pyramid of Mumm Ra - and they're about to learn firsthand how dangerous the Ever-Living one can be!
Red-hot writer DECLAN SHALVEY (Alien, Old Dog) and acclaimed artist DREW MOSS (Gargoyles: Dark Ages, Vampirella/Red Sonja) ramp up the excitement in this second chapter in their all-new ThunderCats adventure, featuring ex more
Danger threatens a retreating army, a despondent leader seeks renewal, and a mysterious figure deploys nefarious plans as a power struggle brews in ThunderCats #2. Read Full Review
Moss delivers beautiful action and details throughout the issue. I love the visual style of this series and how beautiful the characters look. Read Full Review
This was a major step forward from a promising launch, and if the series continues to take steps like this as it progresses, fans are not going to want to wait to jump in. Read Full Review
THUNDERCATS #2 delivers a gripping narrative with layers of drama, character conflicts, and mysterious connections. The introduction of Calica injects freshness into the storyline, keeping readers on their toes. While the art is visually appealing, it falls short of reaching the level of brilliance that could match the narratives potential intensity. The leisurely pacing may deter those seeking explosive moments, but the storys unpredictability promises an engaging journey. Read Full Review
The second issue of 'Thundercats' forges its own path ahead, introducing exciting new characters and enriching classic relationships for a new era. Read Full Review
ThunderCats #2, like the debut, shows potential. There's some things that are fantastic but there's also aspects that feel a bit too easy. Like the sword shattering in the first issue, the comic goes for plots that are predictable and the narrative itself has a choppy aspect at times, like a record skipping a bit. It's a series that feels like it can be tightened just a bit and it'd be one that stands out on the shelf. Read Full Review
This second issue takes some really interesting swerves that will hopefully lead to some great storytelling places. Read Full Review
Plot
Leon-O is still recovering mentally and physically from his battle against the mutants of Plun'darr, when their leader Slithe destroyed the Sword of Omens.
Although the sword's edge is destroyed, it can still see beyond the obvious and Lion-O warns Panthro, Tiger and Cheetara of the existence of a familiar being within the mutant ship.
This comic introduces a new character into this universe, with a lot of potential but can cause division in the team.
Meanwhile Mumm-Ra stalks the Thundercats and the mutants.
Declan continues to take us into this universe through nostalgia but at the same time refreshing it with current themes and new characters, making reading this comic totally addictiv more
Some great ideas that just seem to fall a little flat, especially with some of the basic dialogue. This series has a lot of potential but fails to reach that upper level of professionalism that could set it apart from previous tries at 80's properties. Overall it's a decent title and fun for newbies and old schoolers alike but just doesn't really stand out.
