![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It destroys Thundera right in front of you, literally rapes two of your favorite characters, enslaves the rest, and makes you thirst for Mumm-Ra's blood as much as Lion-O must have. This plunges you into the depths of emotion. It gave you the typical Thundercats comics where they fight and win every issue and all is well. I don't know how to start this section, other than to tell you this is exactly what I wanted out of a Wildstorm reboot of the Thundercats. Of course this is coming from a heterosexual male who doesn't mind a little cartoon side boob every once in a while, so take it for what you will. I was ready to say fuck Lion-O and elect her leader by the end of the last issue. If you didn't know any better and just read the last half of issue 5, you would think Wilykit was the fearless, kick ass leader. We even get a shot of her standing tall in her slave clothes, now seeming less like a sex slave, and more like a strong greek goddess who has embraced her sexuality as well as her setbacks and is ready to be awesome. The bottom line is that there was a purpose to it, but if you find it upsetting it might throw you off a little.The other thing I will say is that once Wilykit escapes, she ends up being the most bad ass character in the comic. I was furious that they had harmed Cheetara, and was too consumed with wanting her to get revenge to even think about the sexual aspects of it. I was more mad that Mumm-Ra was putting his filthy hands on Wilykit, and had stolen her innocence. I didn't personally find it distracting, because the emotional intent worked on me. Now that you're all caught up, on with the show! Confident that Mumm-Ra was no longer a threat, he entered the book of Omens, where time would slow to a crawl for him as he learned the history and fighting techniques of the great Thundercat leaders before him. Anyway, when we left our heroes, Lion-O and the Thundercats had recreated Thundera, and built beacons to call back the remaining Thunderians scattered through the galaxy. Also, if you happens to share it with your friends, that wouldn't break our hearts at all. Welcome back to Thundercats week ladies and gentlemen! Last week I reviewed "Thundercats: Reclaiming Thundera." and if you missed it there's a link to it in the sidebar to the right of the page, so definitely make sure to click and read that. Figure I'd put this here and give you the chance to opt out if you are easily offended by these themes.* *Graphic content warning: This series gets a bit darker than the first, with discussions of torture, slavery, and even rape. If you're the kind of person who worries about that, run out and buy the entire Wildstorm run of the Thundercats right now. *Spoiler alert: There are spoilers in this review. ![]()
