ThunderCats #6 is a satisfying look into the thoughts and motivations of General Panthro and a worthy debut of the next airborne threat to the ThunderCats. It looks like this general needs to create an air force. Read Full Review
Moss delivers great art in the issue. The visuals are beautifully detailed and the action is filled with thrilling imagery. Read Full Review
The action is maintained with a great deal of energy throughout. Panthro is given quite a bit of time to capably brood over the course of the issue, which it benefits from quite a bit. And then there are little details that are fun too. Shalvey and company even manage to make Snarfer come across as something other than annoying. Theres actually a cuteness there, which theyd never really managed in four seasons of the original series. Thats a nice touch on a largely satisfying issue that adds to a largely successful run for the current series. Read Full Review
Panthro steps into the spotlight and absolutely commands it in Thundercats #6, as the series makes a major revelation that only builds the intrigue of the group's new home. Declan Shalvey's decision to view much of the issue through Panthro's internal monologue is one of the book's strongest elements, as we get a real glimpse of his internal conflicts about how he's approached Lion-O and Cheetara.

THUNDERCATS #6 delivers a Panthro-centric issue to help the character learn from recent developments, put him in the thick of an almost issue-long fight, and unveil a few important revelations about Third Earth. This issue is one of Shalvey's strongest yet, but the good will of the script is offset by weak, flat, uninspired art. Read Full Review
Plot
Panthro tries to search for the mineral Thundrillion on the Third Earth, needed as a source of energy, since they don't have much left on the ship they brought from Thundera. Panthro tests the Thundertank to do the radar extraction and search. He needs to free his mind from all the mistakes he has made with Leon-o.
The Third Earth apparently has enough reserves of Thundrillion, but they are in the crosshairs of the Vultures, another race of mutants that once plagued Thundera, led by Vultureman.
Panthro shows this horde of Vultures how powerful the ThunderTank is, however he needs help from Snarf.
Vultureman reveals that the Third Earth was a colony of Thundera, which served as a prison, which is wh more
This was a pretty good issue. It looks like they want to place each member of the team in a solo story before the next arc. This issue featured Panthro and gave us an interesting introduction of Vultureman, the most cunning of the Mutants. It's also pretty cool top see a clan of them as in the original cartoon there never were any more Vulture mutants like the Reptilians, Monkians and Jackals. It was also an interesting twist that Third Earth was originally a place Mutant war criminals were exiled to.
So far the series is progressing well enough. It seems to be losing some steam with some readers but I still find it fun in comparison to most modern comics. It's been a pretty good modern take on the classic series.
