Thundercats miniseries coming to DC comics.
starbreeze writes, According to Wildstorm Productions, DC comics will be printing a Thundercats miniseries this month. After the initial issue (available August 8) featuring character bios and behind-the-scenes production designs, there will be 5 monthly issues. The comic picks up where the cartoon series left off, “with New Thundera restored, and Thundercats King Lion-O gathering his old friends. For New Thundera, it is time to call home the other Thundera refugees and finally rebuild their once-majestic society. But there are dark tidings brewing at Mumm-Ra’s Pyramid, where the Ancient Spirits of Evil have concocted a nefarious plan to free the Shadowmaster from the Shadow Realm. It’s up to Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetera and the Thunderkittens to save the day!” Kickass. Don’t miss the sneak peeks at the artwork, and Thundercats desktops for your PC. Yes, issue 0 is out tomorrow. DC will be using the Wildstorm imprint on this one.

Comic Review – Ultimate Spider-Man: Double Trouble
Now that our DNS has been fixed, we can get back to
delivering content. So, here’s the third review of
an Ultimate Spider-Man trade paperback. The
review of the fourth will, unfortunately, have to
wait until this fall when they finally publish the
thing. Yeah, I know it’ll include the issues that are
coming out now, and I could buy them, but the ads in
the middle of comics bug me. I know they have to put
them there, but they’re worse than commercials on TV.

Comic Review – Ultimate Spider-Man: Learning Curve
Damn you, Marvel. You hired Brian Michael Bendis,
you gave him a great concept to work with, and you
let him loose. You’ve made me make the guy who runs
the closest comic shop very, very happy.
