I loved the idea of cyborg space cops out to take down a galactic mobster.
I love sci-fi, I love crime.

Beyond that, I’ve always felt that SilverHawks was mostly overlooked.
It lived in the shadows of ThunderCats, which to be fair was arguably the more successful show.
What can you tease about the first story arc and where we pick up with the characters?

What new threats will the team be facing over the coming months?

The thing about Mon*Star that I’ve always loved is that he’s a space mobster.

He’s more than just evil for evil’s sake.
Are we likely to see any crossovers between ThunderCats and SilverHawks?
As far as I know, there isn’t anything planned yet.
