As the wary ThunderCats continue to explore their new home Lion O finds himself inexplicably drawn to Calica the beautiful and mysterious survivor of the crashed Mu Tant ship But Panthro and Cheetara view the unfamiliar Thundarian with suspicion and the ensuing confrontation threatens to fracture their fragile new society leaving them vulnerable to enemies from both outside and within The drama intensifies in this third chapter of the highly anticipated new series from award winning author DECLAN SHALVEY Old Dog Hero Killer and fan favorite illustrator DREW MOSS Dark Ages both of whom contribute a cover for the issue along with acclaimed artists DAVID NAKAYAMA LUCIO PARRILLO and JAE LEE JUNE CHUNG Thundercats Vol 1 3In some ways the story arc of a new Thunderian in Cats Lair feels like a retelling of the original series sixth episode someone claiming to be an ally infiltrates the lair but surprise It s Mumm Ra and he s going to attack the ThunderCats That s not the case this time and I m not complaining about the similarities. What writer Declan Shalvey and artist Drew Moss have done so expertly thus far is put a twist on conventions and story beats from the original series That s what we re seeing here along with a deeper exploration of plot points such as Lion O flagging emotionally behind his new physical age I especially like the new worldbuilding elements in issue 3 including the return of a beloved character where it came from and the way Thunderians can opt to settle disagreements. I m loving everything so far A teaser for the next issue teases the confrontation fans have been waiting for since this arc began Bring it on English For those who wanted Cheetara from last issue we got in this issue Action new characters and surprise ending English Snarf English
