ThunderCats #17

Trivia · 8 facts

• Published by Dynamite Entertainment; written by Declan Shalvey, art by Drew Moss, lettering by Jeff Eckleberry — the same core team that launched the series in February 2024.
• On-sale date per Dynamite's own product page: June 18, 2025 (solicited in the April 2025 Previews catalog under codes APR250181–APR250198); Bleeding Cool's preview listed a later date of August 6, 2025 — a discrepancy noted under 'flagged.'
• Story tagline: 'ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH!' — the Knights of Thundera carry out their first official mission, targeting Mu'Tant leader Slythe.
• The Knights of Thundera as a faction were introduced in issue #16 (May 2025); issue #17 is the first issue in which they act independently as an operational unit, not merely as a narrative reveal.
• The solicitation text warns that the Mu'Tants' misfortune at the Knights' hands 'could prove to be a golden opportunity for an even deadlier foe,' establishing a third-party antagonist thread for the arc.
• Cover lineup: Cover A by Lucio Parrillo (primary); covers also by Declan Shalvey, Jae Lee & June Chung, Drew Moss, and Manix Abrera, with foil, virgin, metal premium, and action-figure variant editions — consistent with the series' standard multi-cover publishing format.
• The ThunderCats license is held by Warner Bros. Discovery; Dynamite publishes under that licensing arrangement, with the IP credited to Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and original creator Ted Wolf.
• The Dynamite series sits within an expanding 'ThunderVerse' that by mid-2025 included ThunderCats: Cheetara, ThunderCats: Lost, SilverHawks, and a ThunderCats × SilverHawks crossover event — all growing directly out of the commercial and narrative groundwork laid by the main ongoing series.
