ThunderCats #9 continues this wonderful new arc for the 1980’s icons known as the ThunderCats. Declan Shalvey does a great job of not only building a new world and story, but also keeping the characters familiar to longtime fans. The pacing of the story is impeccable and spreading the wealth amongst all the different characters makes them all feel important.
The art in this issue is top notch as well. Drew Moss does a great job with the character design. Keeping the characters recognizable, well also evolving the looks is really cool. Martina Pignedoli’s colors are great, and the pallet has a wide range. Finally, Jeff Eckleberry’s lettering jumps off the page and is easy to read the emotion in every panel.
