Exciting New Character Apex to Debut in Thundercats #8
Dynamite’s Thundercats keeps setting the comic world on fire, and the sparks ain’t stopping soon. In a clear show of appreciation for the fans’ overwhelming support, they’ve promised another twist in Thundercats #8 set for release this September. Meet Apex, the latest addition to the pack.
Climbing the Peaks
Illustratively, Thundercats’ success can best be described as scaling Mount Kilimanjaro in roller-blades – impunity’s finest! More than 170,000 units of the first issue were gobbled up. But wait, that’s not it. The number reached 200,000 with multiple printings, setting a new record for Dynamite’s twenty-year run. Now all eyes are on the six-issue debut of a fresh arc.
Whirlpool of Talent
Residing in the eye of this wild literary tornado are Declan Shalvey and Drew Moss. From behind the typewriter and the easel, they’ve created a whirl of enticing storylines, bringing forth favorites like Calica and Snarf. With each issue, the pot of plots thickens, and we’re on the edge of our seats, eager for #8’s seismic reveal.
The Cat’s out of the Bag
In Dynamite’s words, Thundercats #8 will pull back the curtain on the enigmatic Apex. As the brainchild of Shalvey, fans can anticipate a blend of familiar visual elements in this character. But who is Apex? Guess we’ll have to bite our nails until we flip through the pages of #8 and beyond.
Talking about the process, Shalvey isn’t short of words. He admits that reincarnating Thundercats demanded no small heave. Still, he’s buzzed with how he and Moss have crafted the series. Now that the ‘Omens’ arc has set the stage, Shalvey feels it’s time to spice up their lore with Apex’s entry. To him, it’s not just another face in the crowd but a potential game-changer that’ll keep the fans guessing.
Sneak Peak?
As the countdown to the September 25 release wears thin, you might want to catch glimpses of its cover previews. Trust me, it’s appetizing.
For the lovers of Thundercats, new and old, it’s time to gear up for another rollercoaster ride in September. Apex is coming, and he’s bringing along a storm to remember.
