Success of Thundercats comic leads to the relaunch of Silverhawks – Interview with Thundercats Apex/Silverhawks writer Ed Brisson

Published

on

Ed Brisson talked about how growing up as a kid he read Captain Canuck comic, and as he got older, he realized he wanted to get into the comic industry as an artist. Then by that time, McFarlane hit the scene and he found McFarlane as his inspiration to follow and start drawing. He also said that growing up in Canada, it was hard to find a writer to work with. So he started writing and drawing his comic, and then started self publishing his work, hoping to get noticed by the industry. His crime series Murder Book helped Ed get noticed. He has received critical acclaim with his 2012 time travel/crime series Comeback.

After that, he wrote/co-wrote for Image comics – Sheltered, The Field, The Mantle and The Violent, to name a few.

Then in 2015, Dark Hose re-published his Murder Book. He then got to work with DC, Marvel, Boom, IDW, and Aftershook. 

Later he was able to write on one of his favorite IP’s Predator a series Marvel published. It was a 6 issue series. 

He is currently working with Dynamite comics to help bring the SilverHawks back to life. Declan Shalvey and Draw Moss brought back Thundercats and helped establish the Thunder-verse. This successful venture has led to relaunching the Silverhawks. 

Ed stated we will see how the Silverhawks were established and how the team was formed. We will get back stories for these characters, which we didn’t get in the cartoon series. By issue three, we will see the team assembled and how Stargazer was part of the first team that led to the Silverhawks.

The series will hit local comic book shops in January 2025.
