THUNDERCATS VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL 2026 #1 (ONE SHOT)

LOVE — AND THUNDER — ARE IN THE AIR! After setting out on a solo mission to explore the wilds of Third Earth, Panthro finds himself caught in the middle of an ancient battle between two rival warlords. Trapped in an endless cycle of violence, the feuding parties have been at each other’s throats for longer than anyone can remember — but as Panthro discovers, their enmity has been made all the more bitter because of what they used to mean to each other. Faced with an escalating conflict that could endanger the ThunderCats’ adopted home, Panthro must find a way to unravel a tangled web of old wounds and raw emotions and ignite a spark of reconciliation between the star-crossed commanders — before the bloodshed expands to cover all of Third Earth! ED BRISSON, the irresistible author of ThunderCats: Lost and Apex, teams up with hot-blooded artist ELTON THOMASI (Lost Dimension, Animosity) for an epic 40-page tale of pride and passion — featuring ardently obsessive covers from NICOLETTA BALDARI, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and ZULEMA SCOTTO LAVINA, as well as a classic piece of ANIMATION ART and a special premium MYSTERY BLIND BAG! The Blind Bag contains three limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of covers exclusive to this offering — including virgin variants, colored blanks, and more! Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.
