Across publishers like IDW, Dynamite and Boom! Studios, there’s a steady stream of releases that stand out as true must-reads. There are others on the horizon as well—Mad Cave’s Casshan is slated for Fall, while their Gatchaman continuing adventures continues to build momentum.
For now, here’s a breakdown of this month’s must-read releases:
Mumm-Ra: The Ever-Living #1
This issue dives into the ancient origins of Mumm-Ra, exploring his past and the secrets behind one of the ThunderCats’ most enduring villains. Instead of keeping him as a distant force, this looks like it will bring his rise into sharper focus and make it more personal. There’s also a sense that his hunger for power will be front and centre, showing how it shapes everything around him.
ThunderCats x SilverHawks: ThunderHawks #1
Set in a dystopian future, the ThunderCats must adapt with SilverHawks-inspired enhancements as they attempt to escape a war-torn timeline and confront a looming threat. This feels like the crossover pushing into full sci-fi territory, where survival matters more than legacy. It also looks set to explore the cost of those upgrades, not just the cool factor of them.
Event Horizon: Inferno #1
Set centuries after the film, the wreckage of the Event Horizon draws a salvage expedition into a nightmare. What begins as recovery quickly spirals into a descent into cosmic horror. This publisher isn’t just revisiting the aftermath, they’re leaning into the idea that whatever the ship touched never really went away. It also sounds like the focus will shift to the people chasing that darkness, and what it does to them over time.
