Saladin Ahmed Writes & Andrea Ancari Draws ThunderCats: Cheetara Comic

Saladin Ahmed writes and Andrea Ancari draws the new ThunderCats: Cheetara comic book series, launching from Dynamite in September 2026

Saladin Ahmed of Miles Morales: Spider-Man is the new writer on a new ThunderCats series, drawn by Andrea Ancari  and launching from Dynamite Entertainment in September 2026. Dynamite's CEO and owner Nick Barrucci says "we have signed Saladin Ahmed to write our new Cheetara series! I've wanted to work with Saladin for about a decade, ever since he launched the Black Bolt series from Marvel. His Miles Morales run was great, and his Amazing Spider-Man Annual was truly "Chef's Kiss" with great Gary Brown art. And beyond his comics work, he is also a science fiction/fantasy poetry and prose writer. His 2012 book Throne of the Crescent Moon was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel and won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. And these are just some highlights! And we've touched base over the years, and finally we had the title that he wanted to write, and he made time! It's just so great!" And that this is a "first salvo in the new wave of ThunderCats titles, following the conclusion of the ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover with Declan Shalvey and Ed Brisson at the helm." And with covers by Mark Spears, John Amor, Karen S. Darboe, Will Robson and more.
