I have some nice nostalgic feelings about Thundercats. I remember watching the series as a kid, being annoyed by Snarf, but generally enjoying the story.
This comic didn't quite have the same effect, though whether that's quality of narrative or distance of nostalgia, I'm not sure. There's a flimsy set-up (planet destroyed, this group is the only one that survives the escape), and then some action, and then some more action on "Third Earth." (I'm actually fascinated with where humans must fit in this world - if it's Third Earth, does that mean humans colonized it? And where did Mum-Ra come from?)
I was curious in the first couple of pages as to whether or not the characters were, for the most part, naked. They seem to be, as Tygra, at least, is walking around in bear (or tiger) feet. Chetara has boots, as does Panthro, but it doesn't look like they're wearing clothes. Which makes sense. If you look at a cat, they're not wearing clothes, though one could make the case that that's what fur would look like on an anthropomorphic creature.
I think about these things too much.
"H-how am I supposed to use the sword, Jaga? I-I can't even lift it!"
