Miles Morales Writer Saladin Ahmed Takes on ThunderCats: Cheetara for Dynamite

Get ready, Thundercats fans: Saladin Ahmed, acclaimed writer behind Marvel's Miles Morales: Spider-Man, is bringing his talents to Third Earth. He’ll pen a brand-new ThunderCats: Cheetara comic series for Dynamite Entertainment, with art by Andrea Ancari. The first issue is slated for a surprisingly distant September 2026 release.
Ahmed’s involvement is a significant win for the franchise. He’s not just a comic book veteran; his prose work, like "Throne of the Crescent Moon," even earned a Hugo Award nomination. This move signals Dynamite’s serious intent to revitalize the classic property, positioning the Cheetara series as the "first salvo" in a new wave of ThunderCats titles following their recent ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover.
So, what's in store for the fastest cat? Cheetara will grapple with unsettling new voices that directly contradict the revered Book of Omens, praising the Mu'Tants instead. These visions will challenge her speed and send her on a journey of perilous discovery.

Catzye Take
This is a huge pickup for Dynamite and the ThunderCats brand. Ahmed's unique voice and experience with complex, character-driven stories could really elevate Cheetara beyond a typical tie-in. Fans should definitely keep an eye on how this 'new wave' develops.
