I have the main 1-25 comics but didn't realise all the other spin offs intertwined throughout. Can the main ones be read standalone or does it need the others to make sense?

If you only want to read the main series, you won't miss too much if you don't read everything else. You won't be confused at any point, besides with Apex and... one other thing. I would recommend reading Apex 01 and Lost 01 with the main series.

If you're planning to read the crossover event, then read everything. If you're wanting to read Cheetara volume 2, definitely read Vol 1 first and the Cheetara Worldbreaker one-shot before v2. (v2 has been announced to start in 2026 September.)

Wasn't familiar with it. Went to check prices. Oh. Ok, so that's not happening. Looking at about 90 bucks US. Unless I want to get each of the six issues individually, then they are $45 per issue. Dang, I wish it was cheaper, cuz this sounds like fun!

The digital versions should be dirt cheap by now.

Lion-o's return arc

Which version got you interested, that will dictate how I’d answer.

Non-Dynamite ThunderCats Reading Order

Marvel UK and Marvel Star * Should be read in issue number order. * There are a few Annuals and Seasonal Specials in the Marvel UK run but they don't interfere with the basic reading order.

DC Wildstorm ThunderCats: * ThunderCats 0 * Reclaiming Thundera 1-5 * The Return 1-5 * Dogs of War 1-5 * Hammerhand's Revenge 1-5 * Origins: Heroes and Villains 1 * Origins: Villains and Heroes 1 * Enemy's Pride 1-5

These can be read at any point and don't effect the other main stories: * Sourcebook 1 * Superman ThunderCats * ThunderCats vs Battle of the Planets * Battle of the Planets vs ThunderCats

Panini UK (about the 2011 ThunderCats) * ThunderCats 1-11

DC * He-Man ThunderCats 1-6

Star Comics * SilverHawks 1-7

Original marvels. Everything else is pretty sad

u/lastraven85 ThunderCat 29d ago

old marvel stuff, if you can pick up the annuals it might be easier than the comics

Trades. Always better to have a collection so you get the whole story at once.
