The Living Thunderbolt Peter Cannon Strikes
This November from Van Lente & Lau!
| 
July 16, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Striking first this November, Dynamite Entertainment announces a brand new series starring the legendary Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt from top tier creators Fred Van Lente and Jonathan Lau.
The last surviving member of an order of mystics that have unlocked the full, unbound potential of their brains has arrived on the streets of New York City. Their mission? To confront the renegade master who destroyed the teachers of this clan — including their own parents. Their target? Peter Cannon himself. The hidden one has become entrenched within the city's elite and has his sights set on Peter. Yet they'll be biting off more than they can chew, as their mark is the one and only fabled Lightning Vessel of the Awakened, able to collapse time with a single strike and defy death itself, Peter Cannon is... the living Thunderbolt!
Blockbuster comics author Fred Van Lente, known for such smash-hits as Marvel Zombies, Incredible Hercules, Archer & Armstrong, Action Philosophers, and the upcoming DIE!NAMITE: BLOOD RED, is assembling the ultimate team for chronicling this high-adrenaline retelling of Peter Cannon's origins. Virtuoso artist Jonathan Lau joins for the artwork in the series. Dynamite diehards may recall Lau actually drew the publisher's first ever take on the character over a decade ago. Since then his style has only honed even more, and he's become an unparalleled portrayer of superpowered action adventure, such as his recent acclaimed work on Space Ghost. The creative team is rounded out by colorist Andrew Dalhouse, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and editor Nate Cosby.
The 21st century is awash with would-be messiahs, crazed conspiracists, and cults of all stripes. A child of this environment himself, Peter Cannon grew up in the secluded culture of "The Awakened," a compound blending New Age psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, extreme fitness, and further mysterious elements. A mass suicide and fire wiped out almost all of the Awakened's followers, leaving an orphaned and abandoned Peter to vie for his place in the world.
In a journey across action and intrigue-packed issues, Peter Cannon will meet his companion Tabu, investigate more of the remains of his backstory, clash with rivals and similar-such militia groups, cults, and powerful fighters. In his final showdown, he will have to prove whether he has indeed unlocked the full potential of his both his body and mind to become the Destroyer of Death!
Further details on the story, cover artists, and more for this exciting upcoming series will be revealed soon!
