The series have been collected into trade paperbacks: In 2016, DC Comics made a crossover comic He-Man/Thundercats. The first issue featured a strip called 'Safe Haven' which was written by Ferg Handley and drawn by Cosmo White.
#THUNDERCATS GO TV#
In 2012, Panini Comics (owner of the Marvel UK licence) began publishing a new series in the UK to tie in with the 2011 TV series, titled ThunderCats Magazine. To date, none of the Wildstorm Thundercats comic series are considered canon due to the major inconsistencies with the storylines.
Several one-shots were also published by Wildstorm between 20 that included two crossovers with Battle of the Planets, one crossover with Superman, a Sourcebook and two "Origins" issues that established the back-story of several main characters. The two remaining mini-series were all set during the events of the animated series Hammerhand's Revenge (written by Fiona Avery, illustrated by Carlos D'Anda), published between 20, and Enemy's Pride (written by Layman and illustrated by Virens, Hellig and Campus), which was published in 2004. The storyline concludes with Mumm-Ra offering Lion-O an elixir of youth so that they may continue their struggle against one another. Along the way, WilyKit finds true love and WilyKat redeems himself. An invasion of Dogstar forces ultimately lead Lion-O to ally with Mumm-Ra himself (when Ma-Mutt even turns against him). Lion-O is now an aged and experienced commander of his countrymen. īy the third mini-series, The Dogs of War (written by John Layman, illustrated by Brett Booth, Joe Prado, Al Vey and Eric Nguyen), also published in 2003, many years have passed, and Thundera has prospered. Lion-O and the ThunderCats emerge triumphant over Mumm-Ra once again. Realizing he has betrayed his friends, the older cub flees when the mini-series concludes. Cheetara is depicted as holding a grudge against Lion-O for "abandoning" his friends and leaving her to be abused by the Mutants and WilyKat's corruption in the earlier mini-series takes greater form. This storyline was distinctly more mature than many episodes of the series, with much harsher language such as "bastard" used by Mumm-Ra. Tygra and Cheetara are held prisoner in Castle Plundarr while Wilykit and Wilykat are the personal servants of Mumm-Ra. Panthro, who was left in charge while Lion-O was away, was forced into slave labor. Several of the ThunderCats are scattered. In the follow-up mini-series, The Return (written by Gilmore and illustrated by Benes, Pimental and Lea), published in 2003, Lion-O returned to Thundera to find it enslaved to Mumm-Ra. After another fateful battle with Grune, Lion-O entered the Book of Omens to begin his training and claim his rightful place as Lord of the ThunderCats, but Mumm-Ra uses a powerful spell to keep Lion-O trapped in the book for several years in real time, not "Book" time, and seizes control of Thundera afterwards.
A major plot point was the slow corruption of WilyKat by Mumm-Ra, which would play a major role in later storylines. The first mini-series, Reclaiming Thundera (written by Ford Gilmore with various artists contributing), published between 20, formed a series of loosely connected "episodes" that saw Lion-O continue his struggle against Mumm-Ra and The Mutants. who acquired the rights for the franchise due to its 1989 purchase of the distributor Lorimar-Telepictures.
