REVIEW: Dynamite’s ThunderCats #1 Roars with Nostalgia

With He-Man rediscovering the power of Grayskull in recent times, it should come as no surprise that Masters of the Universe’s biggest rival, ThunderCats, also made a comeback, much to the delight of children of the ’80s. Published by Dynamite Entertainment, ThunderCats #1 took readers back to a time when cat-like aliens from the planet Thundera landed on Third Earth and fought against the Mutants of Plun-Darr. The first issue of this new series was written by Declan Shalvey, drawn by Drew Moss, colored by Chiara Di Francia and Martina Pignedoli, and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.ThunderCats #1 wasted no time in reorienting readers about the ThunderCats, and introducing their new continuity. The issue’s opening pages explored the events from the pilot episode of the ThunderCats’ 1985 cartoon, titled “Exodus,” showcasing how Thundera was destroyed and how Jaga took the Thundereans to Third Earth. From there, it shined a light on life after Jaga, as Lion-O took up the mantle of leadership and learn from others—including Panthro, who isn’t going easy on him. When Lion-O spotted a mutant ship, he doesn’t wait for backup, believing the Sword of Omens is more than enough of an arsenal for him. However, events unfold in ways no one planned or hoped they would.While the other ThunderCats are introduced in the story, Shalvey dedicated the bulk of the issue to Lion-O. Like a hammer to the head, it’s emphasized how he’s effectively still an inexperienced and hasty cub who was thrust into the role of leadership out of necessity. Lion-O intends to embrace his responsibilities with gusto, but he has much to learn. Shalvey doesn’t paint Lion-O as a blissfully naïve character. Instead, he chose to show how Lion-O’s impulsive nature and know-it-all attitude are bound to trip him up along the way. It’s clear his character arc requires him to put aside his pride, and come to terms with the fact he’s nothing without his team.
