When Tygra mysteriously vanishes, taking the Eye of Thundera with him, Lion-O and the rest of the ThunderCats thrown into turmoil. But things really get confused when Tygra reappears — as an old man! He claims to have been sent into the past through a mishap with a time door, and forced to survive in isolation on Third Earth until he caught up to the present day.

Based on the hit animated series from the 1980's, THUNDERCATS: THE RETURN is a hard-hitting, action-packed adventure of redemption and rebirth. Five years after disappearing into the magical Book of Omens, Lion-O has returned to Thundera to find the ThunderCats enslaved and Mumm-Ra in control of his realm. With his people broken and defeated, it looks like all hope is lost. But refusing to succumb to the tyranny of his greatest nemesis, Lion-O, joined by his former compatriots, Panthro, Tygra, Cheetara, WilyKit, and WilyKat, mounts one final assault against the pure evil that is Mumm-Ra.

As the ThunderCats continue to fortify their settlement on Third Earth, youngsters WilyKat and WilyKit decide that their former playmate Lion-O’s rules about leaving the compound are too restrictive. But after striking out on their own to explore their new planet, they discover a terrifying secret — one that could have devastating consequences for the last survivors of Thundera! The acclaimed creative team of DECLAN SHALVEY and DREW MOSS continue their mesmerizing world-building with ThunderCats #7, featuring outstanding covers from SHALVEY, DAVID NAKAYAMA, LUCIO PARRILLO, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, and IVAN TAO!
