Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products unveil today a brand new character entering the broader ThunderCats and SilverHawks comic book mythos, right ahead of the epic crossover between the two kicking off!
The latest member of the SilverHawks glides into the team, as the mysterious Chromium first appears in the prelude special release ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Road to War releasing March 18 and written by Ed Brisson (SilverHawks, ThunderCats Lost). Created by superstar and comics franchise flagship captain Declan Shalvey, Chromium is set to then splash into the main crossover event in a huge way in ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1.
Mob boss Mon*Star is off the table, as seen in the terrific ten issues of SilverHawks with Brisson at the helm. With a power vacuum left in his wake, criminals from across the cosmos are moving in and it’s up to the SilverHawks to stop them. With their resources stretched thin, the team is increasing its ranks and brings in the new recruit Chromium. Brought under the silvery wings of Quicksilver, the veteran and rookie will face a trial by fire in Road to War.
Then in the first official chapter of the crossover in the Shalvey written and drawn ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1, Chromium joins a team of Quicksilver and The Copper Kid on an impromptu mission defying Stargazer’s orders to investigate an anomaly in a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector. As they land on the forbidden planet, they’ll find themselves confronted by a fearsome band of strange, cat-like warriors and in a fight for their lives!
“After seeing what Ed had developed with this new SilverHawks lore (the team we recognise assembling after the old guard), it’s been great to build on that with this new character of the next generation starting with Chromium, much like how Ed built on our ThunderCats comics lore with characters like Neko and Scorpius, etc,” said Declan Shalvey.
Ed Brisson added, “We’re expanding the SilverHawks and I couldn’t be more excited! Chromium is the first of the new generation, but he’s not the last! The impact of these new SIlverHawks on the team is going to be a big part of what this crossover is about. Declan did an incredible job designing Chromium, then I swooped in and stole him to use in Road To War.”
Fans will not want to miss this first appearance and early adventures of a brand-new character in the “ThunderVerse” mythos. Additional new additions to the comics canon are expected in later chapters too!
