The ThunderCats Celebrate the Holidays in Comics Special!
Ed Brisson & Fabio Gallo Bring the Festivities to Fans
|
September 18, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Thunder... Thunder... ThunderCats! HO! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products announce an exciting new comic book coming this December as a holidays treat for fans!
The ThunderCats Ho!(liday) Special brings together a top creative team and fans of the franchise for a night to remember! Ed Brisson has established himself as a titan of this new era of ThunderCats comic books, steering the ship of both ThunderCats Lost and SilverHawks, as well as several specials. He's back for this festive fable and joined by artist Fabio Gallo for 28 story pages packed with fun.
The ThunderCats are out on a mission on their adopted home of Third Earth, deep up in the snowy mountains. The crew stumble into Snowman, the last survivor of his people. Understanding all too well the need to persevere in the face of overwhelming loss and risks of extinction, the 'Cats join hands with Snowman to learn about his history and festivities. This fateful crossing of paths coincides with the eve of the Festival of the Claw — a celebration with food and gifts, and to pay tribute to those who have been lost.
Most holidays don't go off without a hitch though, and the ThunderCats and their newfound friend are faced with quite the curveball in their itinerary. Just outside the mountaintop village that Snowman calls home, the evil monarch of the Crystal Kingdom, Queen Tartara, prepares her royal guard for a surprise attack. But even on the most hallowed occasions, Thunderans don't let their guard down and their battlecry will not be silenced!
"I’m very excited to be delving deeper into the traditions and tribulations that both define and plague Third Earth," said writer Ed Brisson. "Snowman is a childhood favourite character and I’ve been looking for the perfect story to bring him into this new era of ThunderCats since day one. That day is finally here and I cannot wait for readers to see what we’ve got in store for them.”
Superstar Ed Brisson (New Mutants, Predator) and renowned artist Fabio Gallo are joined by two talented artists contributing covers in Sebastian Piriz and Robert Quinn. Gallo himself also contributes a delightful cover for the occasion.
A fabulous fourth cover is available exclusively as part of a mystery blind bag variant! Each bag includes two separate copies of the issue, both of which are exclusive to the Blind Bag — one Blank Authentix edition, and also one of five unique variant cover art editions. 70% of bags will feature the mystery fourth cover with trade dress, with others may include black and white lineart or "virgin" variations on the other three revealed covers.
