CHARACTER DESIGNS AND COVER ART TAKE CENTER STAGE
Beyond scheduling, the creative spotlight falls heavily on character visualization and variant cover execution. Writer Ed Brisson is joined by acclaimed Irish creator Declan Shalvey, whose dual role as storyteller and artist significantly shapes the visual identity of the event.
Shalvey’s design work is already front-and-center across multiple launch covers, and fans will also see his artistic process through a special incentive variant featuring his original layout art—offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the crossover’s characters and action sequences were constructed.
The broader cover program reads like a showcase of modern comic artistry, with each title emphasizing different tonal and character elements:
ThunderCats x SilverHawks #1 features covers by Lucio Parrillo, Eric Canete, and Ben Oliver, blending heroic grandeur with sci-fi spectacle.
Mumm-Ra: The Ever-Living #1 leans into villain-driven character design, with Rapha Lobosco, Danny Earls, John Amor, and Erica D’Urso delivering interpretations of the saga’s central archnemesis.
ThunderCats x SilverHawks: ThunderHawks #1 highlights the crossover’s hybrid team aesthetics through covers by Vincenzo Federici, Ivan Tao, Marco Failla, and Alessandro Ranaldi.
Additional animation-style variants across all issues channel the visual DNA of the original animated series, reinforcing the nostalgia factor while modernizing character rendering for today’s comics audience. One standout archival piece for Mumm-Ra: The Ever-Living #1 will also draw directly from the Warner Bros. Discovery vault.
Collectors can further expect ultra-limited signed editions featuring the autograph of Larry Kenney, the iconic voice of Lion-O, alongside mystery blind-bag variants that promise unrevealed cover designs.
A DESIGN-DRIVEN CROSSOVER EVENT
With its synchronized checklist and expansive cover program, ThunderCats x SilverHawks positions character design and visual storytelling as the backbone of the event. From heroic team compositions to villain reimaginings and animation tributes, the crossover is shaping up to be as much an artistic celebration of both franchises as it is a narrative collision.
The crossover launches in April 2026 and continues monthly through August, delivering a five-month, 15-issue epic uniting two of animation’s most iconic sci-fi fantasy legacies.
