ThunderCats #1

Set after the events of the ThunderCats crashlanding on Third Earth, this new series offers a few panels to explain the backstory before jumping into the young Lion-O itching to prove himself as leader. I’m glad the comic starts after the Thundercats arrive, but it does have the unenviable position of dealing with Lion-O at his most insufferable period. Personally, I wouldn’t have minded setting the series a bit further down the line where the leader of the ThunderCats had matured.

He-Man/ThunderCats #1

He-Man/ThunderCats #1In a crossover that seems three decades late, DC Comics’ new six-issue series introduces the characters from two 1980s cartoons to each other as the worlds of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats literally come crashing down on one another. The first issue of the series begins with Mumm-Ra whose inability to destroy the ThuderCats has angered the ancient evil which provide his power. Deciding their agent needs a boost, the powers open a portal dropping Third Earth on top Eternia and send Mumm-Ra after the Sword of Power.

He-Man/ThunderCats #1 also introduces us to the bumbling Prince Adam whose father is still unaware of his son’s secret. Disguised as the Sorceress, Mumm-Ra steals the Sword of Power away from Adam, impaling the prince. However, still connected to the sword, Adam can call on the power of Grayskull and reappear as He-Man.
