The ThunderCats Are Lost... In Time for New Comic!
Ed Brisson Tees Up Huge Next Phases of Comics Franchise
|
October 9, Mt. Laurel, NJ: The next major phase of the ThunderCats comic books is teased this January in the new can't-miss special ThunderCats Lost in Time from Ed Brisson, Chris Campana, and presented by Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products!
Alongside Declan Shalvey who kicked it all off with writing the continuing flagship 'Cats title, writer Ed Brisson (New Mutants, Predator) has contributed so much to this new era of stories for ThunderCats fans in comic books. Across his dual titles of ThunderCats Lost and SilverHawks, as well as a string of specials including Apex, Pumyra, Panthro, and the upcoming Ho!(liday) Special, he's been continuing to expand out the mythos and building up the foundation for ever-greater heights. Those ethos and exciting storytelling take their next step in Lost in Time!
The core team of ThunderCats Lost find themselves flung far into the future, ripped from Third Earth. They'll find themselves in a haunting, dystopic vision of their world — Sixth Earth. This broken planet is cobbled together from the ruins of their former home. This foreboding future is ruled by a police state that has outlawed and hunted 'Cats to their extinction, and become completely overrun with mysterious automaton robots and mass surveillance. It's up to the likes of Ligon, Lynx-O, Neko, Pumyra, and a mysterious defector to figure out what's going on, if they can find a way back home, and how to prevent this dark future from coming to pass!
Brisson is joined by artist extraordinaire Chris Campana, a veteran with contributions to countless blockbuster comics including G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Red Sonja, Vampirella, Lady Death, Pathfinder, and many others. This duo are laying the groundwork for huge developments in ThunderCats comics to come as 2026 marches on, making this upcoming release a truly essential prelude and stepping stone to things to come...
"I’ve been looking forward to writing this issue for a long, long time," said writer Ed Brisson. "Things revealed in this one-shot will send shockwaves through the entire ThunderCats comics universe. I cannot overstate how much of a ripple effect this book is going to have. The team is going to learn things about their own history that will force them to reconcile with their own history, while also being forced to make one of the hardest decisions that any of them have had to face — it’s about personal sacrifice for the greater good."
This indispensable chapter in the ongoing comics mythos comes complete with an exciting offering to fans. For readers not using digital, the book will only be available as a mystery blind bag from their favorite retailers. Within each bag, fans have the possibility of four covers with unique artwork from top artists Declan Shalvey, Enid Balam, Alessandro Ranaldi, and Cat Staggs. There is also a possibility of pulling rarer variants, such as trade dress-free "virgin" or line art variations on those four pieces.
