ThunderCats: The Hidden Journey of Cheetara Begins!
Dynamite Entertainment's ThunderCats comic debuted to resounding success, and now, the spotlight shifts to the fierce feline warrior, Cheetara, as she races into her own solo series. Penned by the talented writer/artist Soo Lee and featuring art by Domenico Carbone, this multi-issue miniseries promises to delve into Cheetara's untold backstory.
Acting as a prequel to the existing ThunderCats narrative, the series unfolds before the cataclysmic destruction of Thundera and the subsequent journey to Third Earth. It will follow Cheetara's journey within the confines of Thunderian nobility, exploring her quest for identity in an uncertain universe. Amidst her struggles, Cheetara grapples with her psychic abilities, which grant her unsettling visions of ancient history and impending doom.
Soo Lee expressed her excitement for the project, emphasizing her desire to spotlight aspects of Cheetara's character that were overlooked in the original cartoon. Lee aims to place Cheetara at the forefront, showcasing her iconic strength and resilience. The series promises to provide a deeper insight into one of ThunderCats' most essential supporting characters.
Dynamite Entertainment's CEO, Nick Barrucci, echoed Lee's sentiments, emphasizing the significance of Cheetara's story and Lee's dedication to bringing it to life. While Dynamite aims to avoid creating spin-offs for the sake of it, Lee's compelling pitch, which expands on hints from the original cartoon, stood out as a clear winner.
To accompany this exciting announcement, Dynamite has curated a stunning array of variant covers for ThunderCats: Cheetara #1. Soo Lee contributes her trademark style, joined by acclaimed artists Sozomaika, Lesley "Leirix" Li, Rebeca Puebla, and Edwin Galmon. With such talent onboard, ThunderCats fans can anticipate an electrifying journey into the heart of Cheetara's untold tale.
