Cheetara #1 recap/review
Spoilers under the cut =3
Non-Spoiler Review: I thought Tygra was a butch lesbian & THEY DID IT THEY FINALLY DID IT!
Spoilers ahead!
First off I really think its homophobic they gave some pages for a Johnny Quest preview.
I know that people are bitching about the Cats Lair but its referencing the TOY I THOUGH YOU GUYS WANTED EASTER EGGS??? Anyway, Jaga and Cheetara are introduced. They talk about the faceless gods the Thunderians worship which I find incredibly interesting. The gods statues range from renaissance to egyptian, which has me suspicious about something but that's for a separate post.
Turns out that the tiger from the promo page is Tygra, and I have been thinking that it was a new character who was a butch lesbian... Embarrassing for me but Tygra really experienced twink-death good for him.
Cheetara contemplates her place in the ThunderCats and the universe in which they exist. The ThunderCats, which seem to include the Tower of Omens team (interesting change) plus Tygra(??? the art looks different so idk), Cheetara, Panthro and Jaga, are tasked by Claudius to take care of the infant Lion-O. The Queen is dead again,, and unnamed as of right now.
Cheetara is confirmed as a mother figure for Lion-O I WIIIIIN I WIIIIN!!!! I have never cared for LiChee and this falls in line with my headcanon about '85 Cheetara. She is MOTHER. It was so sweet to see her with growing Lion-O, THAT IS HER BABY HER SON.
She already has her visions, and the ending of the issue is her forseeing the fall of Thundera. RD Rivero wins this one. But it’s definitely hooked me into reading this. Seeing the final days of Thundera and Cheetara’s reaction to danger following her son due to a prophesy will hopefully be emotional.
