With all the pieces now distributed across the board, Thundercats is firing on all cylinders as it closes out its first arc. Read Full Review
Moss delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. The action is visually thrilling throughout the issue and I love the character designs. Read Full Review
This comic does a lot to work with the canon and be fan-friendly, and it's doing so with good writing, great art and solid action and character work. But it lacks that extra level spark of something interesting. Read Full Review
THUNDERCATS #4 concludes the first arc with first meetings, new alliances, and painful betrayals. Declan Shalvey pours on the relationship building but at the expense of pacing and excitement. Further, Drew Moss's art is a serviceable improvement over previous issues. Read Full Review
Plot
Mum-Ra launches an attack with his mutant mummies on the Thundercats' ship, Leon-o and the Thundercats launch to defend themselves from the attack, Calica was left alone on the ship with Snarf.

Not much of a conclusion as nothing was resolved. But it does leave one wanting more and keeping us curious about Calica as well. Is she a creation of Mumm-Ra or is there more to her? Will she redeem herself or stay as she is?
One disappointing part was Mumm-Ra didn't even bother to transform. In the original series Lion-O's first battle with him was in his powerful form. It does offer more of a challenge for him. Oh well, I guess it will make it all the more surprising when he finally does do it.

I was right about Calica! A TRAITOR INDEED!
I hope that Lion-O get his act together, get the sword of omens back and punish Calica for her crimes. I know that Calica is very at sneaky around places without being seen and she must be a expert assassin and thief and whoever trained her must be a very popular enemy of the Thundercats.
