Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products introduced a new Thunder Cat who appeared in the second issue of the ThunderCats comic book series, Calica, created by Declan Shalvey and Drew Moss. A potential love interest for a Lion-O trying to mature and establish himself as a worthy leader. Calico is inspired by the appearance of Calico cats, with a tri-colour fur pattern and a distinctive black patch around one of her eyes, and she is found among the wreckage of a Mu'Tant ship. "Not only has it been great to play with the classic ThunderCats characters, but having the opportunity to contribute to the lore has been a wonderful experience," said writer Declan Shalvey. "Especially with introducing Calica (and her unique, yet naturally fitting design courtesy of Drew Moss), who will add a new dynamic that will keep the ThunderCats (and readers) on their toes." And Dynamite has got Rob Liefeld back to draw a second cover for them, for ThunderCats #4, this time featuring Calica, and announced in time for FOC Final-Order-Cutoff this weekend.
As well as Ken Haeser doing a homage to Amazing Spider-Man #42 and the first full appearance of Mary Jane. Lion-O is not a tiger…
