SilverHawks #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSilverHawks #6 is structurally significant as the opening chapter of the series' second story arc, marking the first time Ed Brisson and George Kambadais shift the narrative gear from team-assembly to full-scale galactic heist territory. By centering the arc on MonStar's bid to raid the treasury planet Dolar — a location drawn directly from the original Rankin/Bass animated series — the issue demonstrates the book's commitment to mining deeper cartoon lore rather than relying solely on the franchise's most familiar iconography. As the midpoint of a ten-issue run that would ultimately feed into the major ThunderCats x SilverHawks crossover event, issue #6 functions as a narrative hinge: it escalates the stakes of MonStar's criminal resurgence to a point where the still-untested SilverHawks team faces a genuine existential challenge, making it the issue where Brisson's 'police procedural' framework gives way to outright cosmic crime epic.

The SilverHawks series was announced at New York Comic Con in October 2024 as part of Dynamite Entertainment's expanding ThunderVerse — a shared-universe umbrella built on their licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. Writer Ed Brisson had lobbied persistently for the project ever since Dynamite's ThunderCats launch, and artist George Kambadais, fresh from his run on Gargoyles, was brought on to handle interior art for the full series. Editor Nate Cosby oversaw the run, with letterer Jeff Eckleberry and colorist Ellie Wright rounding out the core creative team; the book launched in January 2025 and ran for ten issues, with issue #6 arriving on June 25, 2025 as the formal start of the second story arc.
Trivia · 8 facts
- SilverHawks #6 (on-sale June 25, 2025) opens the series' second story arc, shifting the focus from team formation to a large-scale heist plot.
- The issue's central threat is Mon*Star's scheme to rob Dolar, the treasury planet, in order to bankroll the permanent consolidation of his criminal empire across the Limbo Galaxy.
- Dolar is a location drawn from the original 1986 Rankin/Bass animated series, where it is ruled by Lord Cash and protected by security chief Gotbucks — Brisson's use of it signals the comic's intent to expand underutilized cartoon mythology.
- The creative team is writer Ed Brisson and artist George Kambadais, the same duo who launched the series with issue #1 in January 2025; both maintained the book through all ten issues.
- Cover artists for issue #6 include Jae Lee & June Chung, James Stokoe, Geraldo Borges, Drew Moss, Lesley 'Leirix' Li, Manix Abrera, and David Cousens, continuing the series' pattern of high-profile variant cover contributors.
- The series is part of Dynamite's ThunderVerse — a shared continuity that also encompasses the ThunderCats ongoing and its spinoffs, all produced under a licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.
- The broader SilverHawks run concluded at issue #10, and the narrative threads Brisson built across the series — including Mon*Star's criminal arc — were subsequently channeled into the 15-part ThunderCats x SilverHawks crossover event.
- Brisson structured the series as a 'police procedural' in the vein of a space-based Law & Order, with issue #6 representing the escalation point where procedural stakes give way to an empire-defining confrontation.
