Bone of Contention

Relegated now to the topmost of the third pile gathering the most dust is the white paper bag storing the Thundercats comics.

Thundercats: Reclaiming Thundera read particularly like still versions of the cartoon show. Pretty much exactly given the blurb in the zero issue. 22 pages for each story and they flew by with only hints of more than action and stretched out Thundercat hos and tiring fight scenes between weak villians.

Flash forward five years from the end of the final episode and Thundercats: The Return takes place. Each issue read with the same title, "The Return." Centred around the fall of Thundera to Mumm-ra this did read a little better with the issues linking into each other instead of just being numbered as such. Time probably gave them the reason behind drawing Wilykit with a body supposed to rival Cheetara's.

Which brings about the last issue before the 'Cats were taken off the standing order, Thundercats: Dogs of War. Fifteen years from either the previous mini-series or the show itself, Lion-o is aging rapidly thanks to the time spent in the Book of Omens. Things started to look up with the title of the issue being "Bone of Contention."

Guess it'll be only mere months before the rest of the series is found in the fifty cent section of the local comic shop. Regrets.
