Peter Cannon Thunderbolt (2025)

PETER CANNON IS BACK — AND FISTS AND FEET WILL FLY! Dynamite’s millionaire martial artist returns in this all-new action-packed reimagining from enlightened author FRED VAN LENTE (Die!namite) and ascended artist JONATHAN LAU (Space Ghost)! As a child, Peter Cannon grew up in the secluded culture of “The Awakened,” a isolated movement blending New Age psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, extreme fitness, and other esoteric disciplines. But when a mass suicide wiped out almost all of the Awakened’s followers, an orphaned and abandoned Peter was left to find his own way in the world. Now, years later, the last surviving member of a mysterious mystical order arrives in New York City on a mission of revenge. His target? The renegade master who destroyed his clan — Peter Cannon! But taking out the fabled Lightning Vessel of the Awakened is easier said than done — especially considering that Cannon’s mind-and-body-perfected moves can collapse time and defy death itself! Featuring harmoniously honed cover art by ROBERT QUINN, JONATHAN LAU, and DAVE ACOSTA, each issue of Peter Cannon Thunderbolt will also include a special Icon cover from master painter ALEX ROSS!

A TALE OF TWO CANNONS! As the last survivor of the cult of The Awakened, young Peter Cannon remained on the order’s abandoned compound after the mass suicide of its members, where he continued to train his mind and body to surpass their earthly limits. Now, having mastered all of the Lightning Vessel techniques, he has returned to the world to confront the man who destroyed his life and built a worldwide empire on top of its wreckage — a man who, in a final insult, calls himself “Peter Cannon”! But when the battle is joined, it’s the imposter with the army of supporters and the global network who has the upper hand — leaving the true Thunderbolt and his sole ally, Tabu, in a desperate race to survive the Destroyer of Death! Comic book black belts FRED VAN LENTE and JONATHAN LAU continue their high-kicking adventure in PETER CANNON THUNDERBOLT #2, featuring flawlessly executed cover art by REESE HANNIGAN, JONATHAN LAU, and DAVE ACOSTA, as well as a special Icon image from ALEX ROSS!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! This is it — the final showdown between Peter Cannon and the usurper who stole his legacy! The two masters of the Lightning Vessel face off in the memory-haunted mansion where young Peter’s childhood ended — and the survivor will claim the mantle of the true Living Thunderbolt, Destroyer of Death!Warrior monks FRED VAN LENTE and JONATHAN LAU channel all their remaining chi into Peter Cannon Thunderbolt #3, immortalized with calligraphic covers by CAT STAGGS, EMANUELE ERCOLANI, and DANIEL SCALISI, as well as an historic Icon image from ALEX ROSS!
