    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Feb 7, 2024

    THUNDERCATS #1 is respectful to the source material and feels nostalgically familiar but throws in a curveball that leaves you wanting more. The arts great, and the story promises an exciting new direction. Dont miss it! Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg Feb 7, 2024

    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

    Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes Feb 7, 2024

    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

    Graphic Policy - Brett Feb 7, 2024

    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

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

    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

    ComicBook.com - Matthew Aguilar Feb 7, 2024

    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
