SilverHawks #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSilverHawks #7 occupies a pivotal narrative position as the penultimate-arc chapter of Ed Brisson and George Kambadais's ten-issue series — the first ongoing comic book run devoted to the SilverHawks since Marvel's Star Comics imprint in the 1980s. The issue escalates the series' central dramatic engine by introducing a galaxy-threatening menace that transcends the Mon*Star mob-war framework the team has been training against, marking a deliberate tonal shift toward a larger cosmic stakes story that would feed directly into the landmark ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event. As the chapter where Brisson's carefully constructed 'police procedural in space' concept is put under its greatest pressure yet, #7 represents the payoff of the character-building work laid across the run — and a bridge between the standalone Dynamite SilverHawks series and the broader ThunderVerse shared-universe project.

The series was born of writer Ed Brisson's persistent lobbying — first of ThunderCats writer Declan Shalvey, then of editor Nate Cosby — for the chance to bring the Rankin/Bass space-cop franchise back to comics. Announced at New York Comic Con 2024 under Dynamite's Warner Bros. Discovery licensing umbrella (the same deal that had already launched ThunderCats), the series was conceived from the start as part of a shared 'ThunderVerse' that would eventually unite both properties. Brisson and Kambadais — who had previously collaborated on Dynamite's Gargoyles and Hercules — designed the series as a character-origin procedural that would systematically introduce the team, explore their individual backstories, and build toward a larger cosmic conflict seeded throughout the run. Diamond Comics Distributors' Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings introduced real-world distribution instability that affected street dates across the run, with several issues released later than their originally solicited dates.
Trivia · 8 facts
- Written by Ed Brisson with art by George Kambadais — the same creative team that helmed every issue of the ten-issue series from #1 through #10.
- Street date listed by League of Comic Geeks as September 3, 2025; the ThunderCats fandom wiki carries a solicited date of July 30, 2025 — a discrepancy consistent with Dynamite's documented distribution delays throughout the run.
- The issue's story advances the team-formation arc: Stargazer's newly assembled SilverHawks are finally gelling as a fighting unit against Mon*Star's mob when a new, larger threat to the entire Limbo galaxy emerges.
- Cover A is by Jae Lee and June Chung; additional covers are by Cat Staggs, Alessandro Ranaldi, Drew Moss (ThunderCats artist), George Kambadais, Manix Abrera, and David Cousens — with multiple retailer-incentive virgin and battle-damage variants.
- Issue #7 is the third-to-last chapter of the ten-issue main series; the run concludes with issue #10, after which Dynamite launched the fifteen-issue ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event beginning in spring 2026.
- The series as a whole represents the first time SilverHawks — originally a 1986 Rankin/Bass animated property — received a dedicated ongoing comic, as opposed to the Marvel Star Comics series that ran alongside the cartoon in the late 1980s.
- Brisson framed the series as a 'police procedural' in the vein of Law & Order, re-staging the Rankin/Bass cartoon characters in a more grounded origin narrative rather than adapting existing animated storylines.
- The series exists within Dynamite's ThunderVerse, the shared fictional universe that also encompasses the ongoing ThunderCats title and its spinoffs — making SilverHawks #7 part of a deliberately constructed, multi-title continuity between two Rankin/Bass properties that never officially crossed over during their original animated runs.
