It’ll be “Thunder… Thunder… ThunderCats, Ho, Ho, Ho!” this December as Dynamite Entertainment announces the upcoming release of the festive-themed one-shot ThunderCats Ho!(liday) Special from writer Ed Brisson (ThunderCats Lost) and artist Fabio Gallo.
The ThunderCats are out on a mission on their adopted home of Third Earth, deep up in the snowy mountains. The crew stumble into Snowman, the last survivor of his people. Understanding all too well the need to persevere in the face of overwhelming loss and risks of extinction, the ‘Cats join hands with Snowman to learn about his history and festivities. This fateful crossing of paths coincides with the eve of the Festival of the Claw — a celebration with food and gifts, and to pay tribute to those who have been lost.
Most holidays don’t go off without a hitch though, and the ThunderCats and their newfound friend are faced with quite the curveball in their itinerary. Just outside the mountaintop village that Snowman calls home, the evil monarch of the Crystal Kingdom, Queen Tartara, prepares her royal guard for a surprise attack. But even on the most hallowed occasions, Thunderans don’t let their guard down and their battlecry will not be silenced!
“I’m very excited to be delving deeper into the traditions and tribulations that both define and plague Third Earth,” said writer Ed Brisson. “Snowman is a childhood favourite character and I’ve been looking for the perfect story to bring him into this new era of ThunderCats since day one. That day is finally here and I cannot wait for readers to see what we’ve got in store for them.”
