In this advanced preview and first impressions discussion, we break down Thundarr the Barbarian #1 from Dynamite Comics, written by Jason Aaron with art by Cüru Ball.
Originally a cult-favorite Hanna-Barbera animated series, Thundarr the Barbarian blended post-apocalyptic sci-fi, fantasy, and classic sword-and-sorcery storytelling. This new comic revival stays true to that spirit while elevating it with modern storytelling and striking interior art.
We talk about the world-building, how the comic honors the original cartoon, the surprising narrative hook at the end of the issue, and why Jason Aaron feels like the perfect writer for this property. We also discuss the interior art, the tone, and how this series balances nostalgia with fresh ideas.
If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic fantasy, classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, or Jason Aaron’s work on Thor, Conan, and Bug Wars, this is absolutely worth checking out.
