Hi all,

An article was just posted at CBR by author Gene Kendall titled
"The '80s Nostalgia Overload of ThunderCats and Battle of the Planets," regarding Top Cow and Wildstorm's comic book crossovers. It's a pretty fair look at why they were done, and the contents of each.

The author asks why a SilverHawks crossover was never done... I can't answer that, but I my writing partner and I did pitch a Battle of the Planets/Voltron crossover that got as far as art samples. Oh, for what might have been.

If you read the ThunderCats crossovers what were your thoughts?

It's been a long time since I read them, but I remember the crossover being FUN. :)

Fun was sorely lacking from the BotP comics from Top Cow. It was like a fanboy's wet dream.

The crossover, however, was not. It hit the vein of what made both shows great. It also showed what made the 70s and 80s fun too. I'd have to re-read them but that's my initial thoughts :)

The Thundercats and BoTP crossover comic book was one of my favorites. I own it and it's still in excellent condition.
