NYCC 2025: THUNDERCATS LOST IN TIME Revealed – Ed Brisson and Chris Campana Unite

During New York Comic Con (NYCC 2025), Dynamite Entertainment teased the next major chapter of their ongoing ThunderCats universe: “Lost in Time” debuts this January as a special one-shot. This story won’t just be another mission — it’s a hard plum thrown into the future, sending the core team to a broken, dystopian world where being a ThunderCat is outlawed.

Ed Brisson, who has been instrumental in shaping the recent Dynamite ThunderCats line, is back to expand the mythology further. He’s joined by Chris Campana, a seasoned artist known for work on G.I. Joe, Red Sonja, TMNT, and more, lending visual muscle to this bold leap forward.

In a statement on The Beat:

“I’ve been looking forward to writing this issue for a long, long time,” said Brisson. “Things revealed in this one-shot will send shockwaves through the entire ThunderCats comics universe. I cannot overstate how much of a ripple effect this book is going to have. The team is going to learn things about their own history that will force them to reconcile with their own history, while also being forced to make one of the hardest decisions that any of them have had to face — it’s about personal sacrifice for the greater good.”

Fans can expect history rewritten, internal conflict, and an existential crisis for the team.

The Setup: From Third Earth to Sixth Earth

The premise is as thrilling as it is dire.  In a statement on Comicon, “According to the company, that version of the world is ‘cobbled together from the ruins of [the ‘Cats’] former home. This foreboding future is ruled by a police state that has outlawed and hunted ‘Cats to their extinction, and become completely overrun with mysterious automaton robots and mass surveillance. It’s up to the likes of Ligon, Lynx-O, Neko, Pumyra, and a mysterious defector to figure out what’s going on, if they can find a way back home, and how to prevent this dark future from coming to pass.'”

In this harsh new reality:

• The ThunderCats are outlawed, hunted, and forced into hiding.
• Automaton armies, massive surveillance, and authoritarian structures control the world.
• The defector may hold essential clues to why the future is so bleak — and whether this timeline can be altered.

The stakes are enormous: the team must not only find a way home, but also prevent this dark possibility from ever coming true.

What to Watch For Going Forward

NYCC 2025’s reveal of “ThunderCats: Lost in Time” gives comic fans a lot of things to think about and look forward to come January.

• Revelations about ThunderCats history: Brisson says “Lost in Time” will force the team to confront hidden truths about their past.
• Ripple effects across titles: Events here may bleed into “ThunderCats Lost”, “SilverHawks”, or crossover specials — watch for shared plot threads.
• Fan reactions to variant marketing: The blind bag model may stir excitement (or frustration) among collectors and casual readers alike.
• Whether Sixth Earth becomes “canon future”: Is this a possible timeline or the only future? The answer will shape the direction of future arcs.
