The drama intensifies in this third chapter of the highly anticipated new series from award-winning author DECLAN SHALVEY (Old Dog, Hero Killer) and fan-favorite illustrator DREW MOSS (Gargoyles: Dark Ages) - both of whom contribute a cover for t more

Moss offers some fantastic art in the issue. I love the use of shadow throughout and how it denotes the tension and suspense of a scene. Read Full Review
THUNDERCATS #3 offers a mix of action and story development, with the return of Snarf adding to the overall experience. However, the subplot involving Slithe feels tacked on, and the art, while not terrible, could be more dynamic. Read Full Review
The internal conflicts of the Thundercats have proven to be just as compelling as any call to arms, but Thundercats #3 says why not have both. Read Full Review

Plot
Calica prowls at night in the Feline Den, while Panthro accosts her and asks her not to see his work, Calica's behavior is erratic and she seems to be hiding something, but Leon-O is madly in love with her for unknown reasons, Panthro states that there are pheromones that she expels.
Panthro obtained a possible source of a key Thunderian mineral, but he distrusts Lion-O's objectivity in his decisions and his ego inflates.
Calica has brought tension and discord among the Thundercats.
Although the Sword of Omens is destroyed, he can still see the future. When he activates it before going out for a walk with Calica, a portal opens to a hidden area full of Thundera's treasures and suddenly an old ally more
So far this has been the weakest issue but was still pretty good. I'm not big on the whole challenge thing but at least like in the original series the Thundercats don't hold bitter grudges like you often see in other superhero teams like the X-Men.
You can't really blame Lion-O for trusting Calica more than he normally would as he's attracted to her. This is a whole new thing for him. We never saw an interesting plot like that in the old show because being aimed at kids 12 and under they knew romance wasn't something they'd care for. That's why it was such a minor thing in older cartoons. And whatever she really is, Mumm-Ra made her as she is because he knew she'd be able to fool him easily.
So far so good here. I never was a fan more
Cheetara had every right to not trust Celica. I read the comic over and over and there's lot of red flag signs pointing right at her.
I believe that her backstory is a very dark one and I believe she was trained at a young age to spy,kill,and steal by a unknown organization
Here are my theory is one of two things:
1)Calica is a fugitive from Thundera running from the law for her past crimes.
2) Calica is working for someone more evil then Mum-Ra who also have a interest in the eye of thundera
