Plot

Panthro obtained a possible source of a key Thunderian mineral, but he distrusts Lion-O's objectivity in his decisions and his ego inflates.
Calica has brought tension and discord among the Thundercats.
Although the Sword of Omens is destroyed, he can still see the future. When he activates it before going out for a walk with Calica, a portal opens to a hidden area full of Thundera's treasures and suddenly an old ally more
I really wanted to love this but between the bad art and the uninspired dialogue I just can't recommend this comic. I gave the first two books a pass but here is where I have to call a spade a spade. The plot seems to be decent and different enough from the original continuity to pique old school fans interests but it seems that Shalvey isn't as great at writing as plotting. It seems this is destined to be as underwhelming as the masters of the universe comics we've gotten lately. If you want 80's toy properties in comic form then read the energon universe and leave this off your pull list.
