Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron was one of Cartoon Network’s earliest hits, though it was originally developed for syndication. It premiered in 1993 and lasted just two seasons, but lived on in reruns for several years and left an impression on those that saw it. Now, 32 years later, Razor and T-Bone are coming out of retirement in a new Swat Kats revival comic book…the first volume of which is now being offered on Kickstarter. The situation is grim. Since we last left our heroes, Megakat City was successfully conquered by Hard Drive and his vile army the Dark Kats. One year since the last episode of the TV series, the city is now a dystopia where Hard Drive rules with an iron fist. Razor and T-Bone find themselves outclassed and outdated…none of their weapons seem to work against the firepower Hard Drive can pack now. But this pair doesn’t quit! The Swat Kats comic includes the involvement of the original creators of the TV show, The Tremblay Bros. Its script was co-written by Kevin Roditeli (X-O Manowar, Bad Omens), Frank J.

Hearing that the original creators are involved brings a sense of trust. Projects like this can feel empty when handled by unrelated teams, but this one looks like it keeps the original spirit. The slipcase edition seems appealing for people who enjoy display pieces. The time limit makes the whole thing feel urgent, so it might push more people to pledge.

Hard to ignore how much the fans rallied for this revival. Half a million dollars says a lot about long-term interest. The fact that they included trading cards and stickers feels fun, especially for people who grew up in the 90s when those extras were common. A dystopian Megakat City also shifts the tone in a way that feels new.

I like that they did not soften the setting. A conquered city gives the story weight. It is different from nostalgic projects that try too hard to be cheerful. I am also impressed by how many stretch goals they reached. It shows how strong the fanbase still is. I hope they keep the pacing tight and do not overload the story with too many references.

I like how focused the plot sounds. Instead of spreading attention across many villains, they put Hard Drive at the center. That helps the story stay clear. I also like that the heroes struggle because it gives them room to grow. I am thinking of getting the $15 digital version so I can see if it fits my taste. It is affordable and easy for me.
