There. Was that REALLY so hard?! Granted, the comic is probably a 4, in its not being earth-shattering, but it gets a full extra star for treating my nostalgia right: interesting plot, reference to the original and GOOD. ART.
When I saw the solicitation for the new Thundercats from Dynamite, maybe a year back, my fraction of joyed response was almost instantaneously deflated by the art. I don't know Drew Moss' other work, but his art is woefully unsuited to Thundercats: both cartoony (the irony does not escape me, but it is not '80s cartoony, rather mid-00's cartoony and onwards) and inconsistent. Not to mention I hate Snarf's redesign and Tygra's 'stache.
But back to the actual comic being reviewed, Apex is just dark and dismal enough to relay a gloomy "westernpunk" feel, appropriate to the world and story, while rich in detail that matters in every way, such the bindings of the Book of Omens, WilyKit's bangles hanging from Apex's satchel, the Bolkin's ride, Driller's body, and so on.
Not to mention, Apex's whole design hints at who he is and how he has come to be, before the comic rewarding you with confirmation.
Not only that, but the creative team behind Apex is doing a mini-series titled Thundercats Lost, starring the "2nd Generation" cats. Apex may be tied to the current ongoing, but I refuse to invest in that. This standalone issue is great on its own.

Apex is a one-off issue of the Dynamite's ThunderCats series & it's meant to follow after the events in the Dynamite's ThunderCats Issue 11 (Vol 3.) This was pretty bold to give us a one-shot insight of who Apex is & how he related, briefly, to the ThunderCats timeline.

APEX is a force to be reckon with!
I hope that Apex can save the present Lion-O and the Thundercats before it's too late this series is getting interesting

RAW IS REAL
I remember the RETURN when you follow the story of a freed Lion-O. Old man Apex isn't playing, no games in this cutthroat character... enemies beware
