SDCC 2025: ‘Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt’ Returns This November From Dynamite, Fred Van Lente, and Jonathan Lau
by Erik Amaya
It is impossible to keep Peter Cannon down.
On Wednesday, Dynamite announced a November launch for a new Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt series. Writer Fred Van Lente and artist Jonathan Lau lend their talents to the latest Thunderbolt adventure. This time around, the last member of ancient order of mystics arrives in New York to “confront the the renegade master who destroyed the teachers of this clan — including their own parents.” The renegade? Peter Cannon, of course. But considering the person they are seeking to destroy is the “Lightning Vessel of the Awakened” and “able to collapse time with a single strike and defy death itself,” revenge may be the most difficult mission the would-be assassin could take.
Per Dynamite’s description, “In a journey across action and intrigue-packed issues, Peter Cannon will meet his companion Tabu, investigate more of the remains of his backstory, clash with rivals and similar-such militia groups, cults, and powerful fighters. In his final showdown, he will have to prove whether he has indeed unlocked the full potential of his both his body and mind to become the Destroyer of Death!”
Joining Van Lente and Lau — who drew Dynamite’s first Thunderbolt series — are colorist Andrew Dalhouse, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and editor Nate Cosby. More details will be revealed soon, but check out the cover and a few interior pages in the interim.
