ROCKETING OUT OF THE BEST-SELLING THUNDERCATS COMIC! Superstar SOO LEE (Disney Villains: Maleficent, Carmilla: The First Vampire) presents CHEETARA in her own series, for the very first time!
Cheetara's a fierce warrior, famous for her lightning-fast speed. But before Third Earth, before the destruction of Thundera, she was a young woman with secrets. Wrapped in a life of Thunderian nobility, she seeks to find her place in an unsure universe, and to understand why she's seeing alarming visions of the ancient past, and the near future...

Overall, ThunderCats: Cheetara #1 is an excellent origin story that every ThunderCats fans like me have been waiting four decades for. The story by Soo Lee is enlightening. The art by the creative team of Domenico Carbone, Chiara Di Francia, and Jeff Eckelberry is glorious. Altogether, ThunderCats: Cheetara #1 is a story fans of the franchise will love. Read Full Review
There are a few clunky moments here and there, both in terms of visually and in heavy exposition, but those are nitpicks at best. Cheetara is a win across the board a lovely surprise. Read Full Review
Creator Tobin Wolf had developed an interesting enough loose premise for a fantasy franchise. Lots of different stories could be told there. When Wolf created Cheetara as the sole female character in a group of action heroes, he was merely following a 1980s traditional that had already been relatively long standing when he presented his first sketch in 1984. Its nice to see her get a central focus. While there have been many adaptations of the premise since the TV series debuted back in 1985, relatively little attention has been paid to the period of time in the history of Thundera prior to the beginning of that first episode that originally aired in 1985. Lee rectifies this a bit with a look back at the world before Lion-O and his conflict with Mumm-Ra. Read Full Review
This first issue of CHEETARA is a strong start for this miniseries. The cliffhanger at the end is interesting, and is probably going to be the focus of this story. If this issue is an example for how the rest of the series will be, readers are going to have a great time. Read Full Review
ThunderCats Cheetara #1 is a slow start to examining the past of the beloved character. It is not bad, however, despite a few possible continuity hiccups. It will hold limited appeal outside of the ThunderCats fandom, but it is a solid comic all around. Read Full Review
