Chalvi had a lot to say:
Taking on the challenge of reintroducing the ThunderCats in this new series was a huge undertaking, and I couldn’t be happier with what Drew Moss and I have done with this book.
With much of the new status quo established in the Omen arc, we’re now in the process of building our own ThunderCats lore, and with it comes the mysterious Apex. This character will bring a whole new set of questions for the ThunderCats, especially once we learn who they really are. I’m really excited to be able to design this character based on the design Drew previously established.
