Description
LORDS OF DARKNESS! Across the face of a scarred and battered planet, the magic-wielding wizards who rule over the ruins of Old Earth are banding together to consolidate their grip on their fiefdoms’ downtrodden inhabitants. United by their insatiable thirst for power — and threatened by the unwelcome appearance of Thundarr and his growing band of resistance warriors — these evil sorcerors are poised to unleash their ultimate weapon: a spell that will take them into the past, giving them ultimate control over the future! Hard-hitting wordsmith JASON AARON (Thor, Avengers, Conan) and two-fisted ink-slinger KEWBER BAAL (Vampirella, James Bond) continue their electrifying update of the classic Saturday morning cartoon with Thundarr the Barbarian #2 — featuring conspicuously kinetic covers from MICHAEL CHO, FRANCESCO MATTINA, BJORN BARENDS, and JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER!
