The Thundercats return in the aptly named THUNDERCATS: THE RETURN, a five-issue mini-series from WildStorm Productions that begins in February.

Writer Ford Lytle Gilmore returns from the first THUNDERCATS mini-series, this time teaming with artists Ed Benes and Joe Pimentel for a five-issue mini-series that thrusts the feline heroes five years into a disturbing future.

The first issue also features a variant cover by John Cassaday.

Here's how DC Comics describes the mini-series:

"Lion-O, imprisoned for the last half-decade and unaware of the passage of time, finally is rescued from captivity. He emerges into a nightmare world in which Thundera has fallen, evil holds sway, and the Thundercats are enslaved...those that are still alive, anyway. But Lion-O isn't the kind of king who'll sit by and watch this horror without putting up a fight...even though it may prove to be the toughest battle of his life!"
