Dynamite Entertainment’s Thundercats comic series is set to introduce new developments to the franchise! In November fans can look forward to an important standalone issue focusing on the series iconic villains with art from guest artist Joe Mulvey!
Much of the series has of course been focused on the titular cats, though many later issues have given particular page time to specific members as writer Declan Shalvey has used the time to deepen their new characterization. The series has even introduced new characters like Calica and Apex. Now, the upcoming issue shifts focus to the franchise’s iconic villains, giving them a chance to take center stage!
Read details from the publisher:
The Mu’Tants are the fearsome faction that have constantly hunted and battled the ThunderCats. Their conflicts began back on Thundera before its fall. They then also found themselves on Third Earth, and that’s when their deadly alliance with Mumm-Ra began. Their most conniving member and leader is the slithery Slithe, who stars in ThunderCats #10.
In the climactic ThunderCats #9, the ‘Cats face a brutal assault from the Mu’Tants. This follow-up issue pauses, reverses, and flips the perspective from the besieged ThunderCats to the attacking Mu’Tants. It starts amidst the quiet before the storm, with Slithe thinking back to his life on Plun’Darr before the Great War with Thundera shattered life for all involved.
Mulvey (Happy Hill, The Last Ride of Pillar & Pryde) will be working with Shalvey and is all in for the ride on this new thoughtful tale of adversaries and loss. This issue is both an essential entry for the ongoing story and an ever-expanding lore, but it is also the perfect one-off for readers trying out the series and an artist spotlight.
Mulvey states:
Being able to work with a creator like Declan Shalvey on a property like ThunderCats that I grew up loving is a genuine pinch me moment. Couldn’t be more proud to work on this issue. Epic action, twists and emotional moments any comic book fan will love.
Shalvey adds:
I’ve been a fan of Joe Mulvey’s work for quite a while and I thought this issue was the perfect opportunity to work with him. It’s been really exciting to concentrate the narrative solely on Slythe for an issue and have a great artist like Joe showcase him. Joe’s doing fantastic pages and I can’t wait for the ThunderCats audience to see it.
