WildStorm Production is bringing back the THUNDERCATS, the animated super-team of the 1980s, in two comics projects debuting in August.
"Fan interest in having new THUNDERCATS comics is tremendous - and growing," says Jim Lee, WildStorm's editorial director. "And when we combine a property that's ready to explode with two of the hottest artists in comics, both of whom are combining a reverence for the classic animation with their own modern flair, well, let's just say expectations are high."
J. Scott Campbell is illustrating and co-writing a 12-page story in THUNDERCATS #0, teaming with co-writer Ford Lytle Gilmore. Special bonus features in the #0 issue include character bios and behind-the-scenes production designs.
Two weeks later, the five-issue THUNDERCATS mini-series makes its debut in an issue written by Gilmore and featuring art and covers by Ed McGuinness and Jason Martin and a first issue variant cover by Arthur Adams.
The adventure begins where the cartoon left off in 1985, with New Thundera restored, and Thundercats' King Lion-O reassembling his old friends, the refugees of Thundera. But at Mumm-Ra's Pyramid, the Ancient Spirits of Evil have concocted a nefarious plan to free the Shadowmaster from the Shadow Realm.
THUNDERCATS #0 is a 32-page one-shot edited by Scott Dunbier. It arrives in comic-book stores Aug. 7. The mini-series is edited by Jeff Mariotte and launches on Aug. 21.
