Do you think you’re old? We’re starting to feel old. Let’s make you feel a little bit older!
Exciting news for all fans of 80s animation and classic sci-fi action: SilverHawks and ThunderCats are officially joining forces in the new ThunderVerse, hitting Dynamite Comics in January 2025! This long-awaited return isn’t just a nod to nostalgia; it’s a chance for these legendary heroes to explore new adventures, expanded lore, and dynamic crossovers. With ThunderCats’ wild energy and SilverHawks’ sleek space-policing vibe, Dynamite’s fresh take is set to bring both fandoms together in an interstellar epic.
These two worlds, once separate, are now merged, promising plotlines that delve into each hero’s unique powers, personalities, and pasts. We’re in for exciting team-ups, intense rivalries, and classic villains reimagined with greater depth. For new readers and long-time fans alike, it’s an ideal entry point into both series, crafted to capture the essence of the originals while embracing an edgier, interconnected story.
A New Look for Classic Heroes
Dynamite’s vision breathes fresh life into both franchises with updated art and storytelling. Beloved characters like Lion-O, Cheetara, and Quicksilver will return with familiar strengths and new mysteries that explore their origins. The illustrations by George Kambadais offer a vibrant yet gritty style, giving the ThunderVerse a polished look while retaining its old-school soul. Expect intense action panels and detailed character moments that bring each hero’s journey to life.
Meanwhile, writer Ed Brisson is set to redefine relationships, rivalries, and world-building across the combined universes of Third Earth and Limbo. ThunderCats and SilverHawks aren’t just fighting old foes; they’re navigating the new dynamics of a shared world. Fans can look forward to immersive storytelling that bridges classic battles with fresh, surprising twists.
SilverHawks: A Comeback Decades in the Making
For fans of SilverHawks, the wait for new adventures has been incredibly long. The original animated series aired back in 1986, yet SilverHawks comics have been few and far between since then. Unlike ThunderCats, which has seen various reboots and adaptations over the years, SilverHawks has mostly remained dormant—until now.
With Dynamite Comics bringing SilverHawks back in January 2025, this is the first time in decades fans can dive into a full-fledged comic series that reintroduces and reinvents the beloved space-faring heroes.
Why ThunderVerse is Worth the Hype
With Dynamite at the helm, the ThunderVerse isn’t just an ordinary crossover—it’s a well-crafted universe with layers of cosmic lore and action-packed story arcs that honor and build on the originals. The villains like Mon*Star aren’t just here to cause trouble; they’re developed characters with motivations and mysteries. This expansion of villainous backstories promises more complex confrontations and higher stakes in the fight between good and evil.
For both long-time fans and newcomers, this reimagining of the ThunderVerse is a golden opportunity to rediscover these characters. SilverHawks’ high-tech, space-faring adventures paired with ThunderCats’ mythical, earthy roots create a world of endless possibilities—and it all kicks off in January 2025 with Dynamite Comics’ launch. Get ready to dive into a universe where legendary heroes fly higher, roar louder, and face dangers like never before!
