PrintWatch: ThunderCats #1 from Declan Shalvey and Drew Moss from Dynamite Entertainment had over 180,000 orders from the direct market. But it seems that it is just not enough, despite aggressive overprinting to account for reorders. And now, almost inevitably, it is going to a second printing for publication on the 13th of March alongside the second issue's first printing. Which features a new take on Rob Liefeld's FOC variant cover, with a "peel" effect showing off the pencil and ink work in addition to the color.
