ThunderCats Fan-Favorite Pumyra Spotlighted
in Comic Book Special from Scribe Ed Brisson!
| 
July 15, Mt. Laurel, NJ: The new ThunderCats comic book mythos expands once more this October with a new special spotlighting Pumyra from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products!
The young female Thunderian Pumyra has been a fan-favorite for years, since she first debuted in the second season of the original show. In the new comic books, she's been at the forefront of the second core series, ThunderCats Lost. That title's scribe, Ed Brisson (SilverHawks, New Mutants) breaks her out of that continuing saga for an indispensable closer look at her life and journey. He's joined by rising star artist Alice Leclert (Crossover Division) in crafting this powerful tale of struggle and redemption.
Across an action-packed 28 story pages, fans will catch up with the titular heroine following a brutal war against the Mu'tants that cost a young Pumyra her parents' lives. The orphan is taken in by Jaga, as the Lord of the ThunderCats sees untapped potential in the scrappy young cat. Mad at the world around her and obsessed with vengeance, Pumyra grows and trains in the art of healing, discovering the power of compassion and the ability to transform pain into hope.
"Charting Pumyra's path from healer to leader in ThunderCats: Lost has been an absolute joy," said writer Ed Brisson. "Having the chance to delve into her past — something that hasn't been done in her 40-year history — to show readers just how resilient this character is, is something I'm very excited about. This is one of the most personal stories I've written for ThunderCats."
It's one 'Cat against the world, and fans new and old will grow to love this breakout star of the franchise in this can't-miss chapter that adds dimensions to the mythos.
ThunderCats fans are never alone, and nor are Brisson, Leclert and the rest of the creative team. As they're joined by inspiring variant covers by Clayton Henry, Sebastian Piriz, Robert Quinn, and Will Robson.
Pumyra also appears this October in Brisson's own ThunderCats: Lost #8, and the franchise will also release ThunderCats #21 and SilverHawks #10.
