Off the success of Space Ghost and Thundercats, Dynamite Comics launches more Cartoon Network comics, including The Herculoids, Captain Planet, Thundarr, and Ben 10

For those unaware, here's a list of licenses Dynamite Entertainment has with Warner Bros.:

• Space Ghost
• ThunderCats
• Jonny Quest
• The Powerpuff Girls
• The Wizard of Oz
• The Flintstones
• We Bare Bears
• Ben 10
• Thundarr the Barbarian
• Dynomutt and Blue Falcon
• The Herculoids
• Captain Planet

At this rate, we may very well see a Turbo Teen comic.

Thundarr is the one I’m most interested in admittedly because he was a staple of their advertising despite no new material, and because the original show was designed by the duo of Alex Toth and Jack Freaking Kirby, the King of Comics himself.  That is a pedigree right there.

I’m also…pretty sure if the creators didn’t buy the rights back we’d be seeing the SWAT Kats instead of the Herculoids.  I wonder how long before a Centurions comic is allowed?

Well, duh. Makes perfect sense to greenlight a SilverHawks comic a year after launching ThunderCats.

But making them part of the same world? Fingers crossed for TigerSharks.

Update: The Captain Planet comic will make its debut on Earth Day 2025.

I never thought I'd say this, but he looks GOOD.

Not gonna lie he is dummy thicc in one of those cover variants.

Honestly, if it’s half as good as Space Ghost, it will at least be worth a quick read.  Space Ghost and Thundercats have both been really good and the Johnny Quest miniseries felt like a return to form.

Two guys seen as jokes now have the same writer trying to revive them.

I salute David Pepose for making such a bold move among the Hanna-Barbera action circuit.
