Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have unveiled a new character joining the shared ThunderCats and SilverHawks comic book universe. The reveal arrives just ahead of the long-awaited crossover between the two franchises.
Chromium Makes His Debut
The newest member of the SilverHawks, the mysterious Chromium, makes his first appearance in ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Road to War. The prelude special lands March 18 and comes from writer Ed Brisson (SilverHawks, ThunderCats Lost). Superstar creator Declan Shalvey designed the character, who will play a major role in the main event beginning with ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1.
A Galaxy in Chaos
Mob boss Mon-Star is no longer a threat following the events of SilverHawks. His removal leaves a dangerous power vacuum. Criminal factions from across the cosmos move in fast. The SilverHawks struggle to hold the line as their resources stretch thin.
To meet the growing threat, the team expands its roster. They recruit Chromium and place him under the guidance of veteran leader Quicksilver. The pairing faces an immediate trial by fire in Road to War.
Into the Crossover
Chromium’s story escalates in ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1, written and drawn by Shalvey. Chromium joins Quicksilver and The Copper Kid on an unsanctioned mission that defies Stargazer’s orders. The trio investigates an anomaly inside a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector.
The mission turns deadly. On a forbidden planet, they encounter a fierce group of strange, cat-like warriors and must fight to survive.
Creators on the New Generation
“After seeing what Ed had developed with this new SilverHawks lore, it’s been great to build on that with a next-generation character starting with Chromium,” said Shalvey. “It mirrors how Ed expanded our ThunderCats comics lore with characters like Neko and Scorpius.”
Brisson added, “We’re expanding the SilverHawks, and I couldn’t be more excited. Chromium is the first of the new generation, but he’s not the last. These new SilverHawks will play a major role in what this crossover is about. Declan designed Chromium, and I wasted no time bringing him into Road to War.”
A Key First Appearance
Chromium’s debut marks the start of a new chapter in the growing “ThunderVerse” mythology. Fans can expect more new characters and surprises as the crossover unfolds in later chapters.
