ThunderCats Cheetara Racing Into Solo Series With Soo Lee

Dynamite Entertainment enjoyed tremendous success with the premiere of their new ThunderCats comic. Now the team’s fierce feline female, Cheetara , will receive her own solo series. The multi-issue miniseries will feature scripts by writer/artist Soo Lee and art by Domenico Carbone .

The new series will act as a prequel to the current ThunderCats comic . Set before the destruction of Thundera and the ThunderCats’ journey to Third Earth, the story will focus on Cheetara as she navigates the stifling world of the Thunderian nobility. The series will deal with her search for her place in an unsure universe. She will also contend with the psychic gift that gives her alarming visions of the ancient past and a disastrous future.

“There are some very cool things about Cheetara that have been overlooked in the original cartoon, things that I really want to make the center of her story,” noted Soo Lee. “She’s also iconic and very strong, it makes sense she gets her own series. It’s a look into one of the most important supporting characters.”

Dynamite Entertainment CEO and publisher Nick Barrucci also echoed the importance of Cheetara’s story and Lee’s commitment to telling it. “We didn’t want to create spin-offs just to create spin-offs,” Barrucci noted. However, Lee’s pitch for a story detailing things about Cheetara that were hinted at in the original cartoon but never developed was a clear winner.
