[rwp-review-recap id="0"] After looking through the comments and past the people who took umbrage with the fact that I admitted my favorite comic books series wasn't perfect, I got the feeling that many in the comments wanted me to talk about Fabian Nicieza, Kurt Busiek, and Tom Grummett's New Thunderbolts series from 2004. That's fine, because, when[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] At last, I am getting around to devoting a series of op-ed/retro review pieces to my all-time favorite comic book series, Thunderbolts And what better place to start than the beginning, when the Thunderbolts were created by industry veterans, Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley. First appearing in Incredible Hulk #449, the Thunderbolts were a mysterious[...]

So, yours truly was being a casual fanboy this morning, tweeting at Jim Zub to obsess over his Thunderbolts book and asking if it will be returning after Secret Empire's conclusion: https://twitter.com/joshdavisonbolt/status/879339332829663236 I was hoping for the best, even if I have kind of consigned myself to the fact that this particular series had been condemned to[...]

One of the bigger teams that we haven't seen are the Thunderbolts The Thunderbolts are the Marvel equivalent of the Suicide Squad where a bunch of villains and anti-heroes that end up working together We have three different parts of the Thunderbolts already in the Marvel universe; the Punisher, Elektra, and Ghost Rider The idea[...]

Marvel has released a new quickdraw video, this time featuring Anthony Piper working on the Thunderbolts #1 Hip Hop variant The cover features The Winter Soldier, Moonstone, and Mach V This is a riff on the Naughty by Nature cover.

And not a gay one either. But Kobik has also been running around the Thunderbolts comic book as well, which has published two issues so far.  Yeah, Bucky doesn't know the half of it.     So while she can come in very useful… There are some inherent dangers. And some people end up in the cornfield… Though she can[...]

3, and Thunderbolts #1 are all released.   He followed up the graphic with: The D&D adventure Curse of Strahd is a hit and Ravenloft interest is riding high. — Jim Zub (@JimZub) April 14, 2016 Wayward trade sales have been very strong so a new volume should kick up extra interest in our continuing story. — Jim Zub (@JimZub) April 14,[...]

Bleeding Cool has run speculation as to how the Avengers Standoff event would tie into the revelations in Captain America: Sam Wilson that SHIELD had a

Zub will be writing a new Thunderbolts series! It's been a good week for the writer, and it looks like it's going to be a good year! Well deserved for sure! Everything I read of Zub's has been great and he's an all-around awesome guy to talk to Be sure to add these new comics to your[...]

Spinning out of Avengers Standoff, it seems, these appear to be the new Thunderbolts, modelled on the original nineties launch issue… Still one guy in silhouette…  but that looks like the actual original team with original identities… And not these guys:     Spinning out of Avengers Standoff, it seems, these appear to be the new Thunderbolts, modelled on the[...]

The titanic events of the first volume have sent Carnage across the globe with the team trying to catch him far in his rear-view.   And with Thunderbolts Classic Vol 3 (New Printing), giving us five  Thunderbolts trade paperbacks in a few months, and with that Citizen V image from San Diego Comic Con still unclaimed, something is in the[...]

Must suck to be an alien milkman. You know that's what's going to happen to The Thing once the Fantastic Four comic goes away, just as Thunderbolts is going away today… Captain America asks the question everyone asks in Death of Wolverine: Deadpool & Captain America, the book that even Tom Breevort must have blinked at when[...]

 I am told to expect the nature of the Thunderbolts comic to undergo some very big changes after Original Sin. The book began as the story of supervillains masquerading as superheroes, and eventually coming to rather enjoy the change It then morphed into a fighting area type book Then a government sanctioned black ops book[...]

You cheat. Obamacare, avoided, in Nova. So, we have a new weakness for Venom in Thunderbolts Magnesium It's a reason for Flash Thompson not to eat raw spinach before putting on the suit, then High in magnesium, you see. Very little in sweets and candy though So the cast of Adventure Time: Candy Capers #6 would be next[...]

Just… no pressure, okay? Elektra has better success with hers in Thunderbolts. But that's because she's Elektra. Well, if Sabrina The Teenage Witch can get a copy of The Necronomicon, I suppose Elvis Presley might as well get one too in Age Of Darkness/Reanimator. So… what have you been reading today? Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London[...]

And Thunderbolts? Well, it gets a reference in Infinity #3… But mostly it's worth it for this recurring joke in the actual comic.   Infinity, New Avengers, Captain Marvel and Thunderbolts are published today Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London Currently running Sophie's World, an exhibition highlighting the photographs of Sophie Aldred by Steve Cook. [...]

But sometimes the best laughs in Thunderbolts are the ones where the characters just play completely to type And exposes just how innately ridiculous they are to the rest of the Marvel Universe. In Wonder Woman, War is talking about Justin Bieber isn't he? And if he isn't, then Superior Octopus-Man in today's Nova really is trying[...]

There's also Thunderbolts… Although, you may have to wait till next week to see if their New York gang mission turns all Turf on us… Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, currently exhibiting the Dead Cats work of Christian Ward.   So Avengers gives us some major Infinity continuity tie-ins, as the biggest galactic Alliance go toe-to-toe with[...]

A few solicitation changes for upcoming Marvel comics… Emerald City Of Oz has been reduced from a six issue to a five issue series. Wellington Alves will now be joined by Carlo Pagulayan and Patrick Olliffe on Red She-Hulk #67. Phil Noto will be drawing Thunderbolts #13. X-Factor #259 will be drawn by Carmen Nunez Carnero rather than Leonard[...]

Though with Image's new plan, you may see a little less of this. Superior Spider-Man #1 dominates the charts with what could be Marvel NOW's biggest relaunch yet, with the relaunch of Thunderbolts and issues of Punisher War Zone and Green Lantern also getting a lot of attention Expect sellouts and seconf prints along the way And[...]

"Steve, just got the pencils for Elektra's appearance in Thunderbolts #1." "And?" "Her breasts just aren't big enough" "But I made them double-D" "I know, sorry, look just move that pencil line a centimetre or so down" "But she can't walk like that" "She can, she's a ninja" "Oh, okay On their way." Cyclops goes back[...]

Chris Thompson writes for Bleeding Cool… just before he heads off to Malta! [audio:http://popculturehound.net/podcast/PCHPodcastEpisode18.mp3] Taylor and I have mixed views about this week's Marvel Now! books, and find we don't see eye-to-eye with Daniel Way's Thunderbolts #1 or Jonathan Hickman's much-anticipated Avengers #1. Taylor also chats with Ryan Ferrier (Tiger Lawyer and Challenger Comics) about his career thus[...]

Working its way around the world, until it hits the US and goes official, it looks like Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato's Thunderbolts run that span out of Civil War will be hitting 99 cents on Monday morning… it's already at 69p in the UK. And it's joined by Warren Ellis Forum member Matt Fraction with[...]

He's not known for the wisest of clothing choices. But does Punisher's red skull shirt on the cover of the new Thunderbolts comic for Marvel NOW hint at something else? If not, why is he wearing it? Would a crime fighter in the Marvel Universe, and a military veteran at that, proudly wear a giant red skull on his[...]

Last week Newsarama teased "Lightning" as a new Marvel NOW! title from Daniel Way and Steve Dillon and everyone guessed it was a new Thunderbolts comic They were right. What not everyone guessed was that it would have the General Thunderbolt Ross, the Red Hulk in the lead. But this is also the previously-rumoured team featuring the Punisher and[...]

But this looks a little… bloodier. This followed yesterday's similar tease. The Punisher team of Daniel Way and Steve Dillon from yesterday does suggest that possibly Punisher may be leading a new Thunderbolts team And maybe just maybe Deadpool might be in it… If past Marvel form is to be expected look forward to more teases this week,[...]

Marvel were set to announce this at Wondercon.  But it's just gone public on the Diamond site, so… In June, Thunderbolts will be renamed Dark Avengers, with issues #175 and #176. Smart viewers may have noted in this week's Avengers who might be making up the team… Jeff Parker and Declan Shalvey will still be creating the book[...]

here are the double shipping comics in June. Amazing Spider-Man #687 and #688 – just like every month. Amazing Spider-Man Movie #1 and #2 – and a trade paperback collecting them both all in the same month. Avengers Academy #31 and #32 Avengers Vs X-Men #5 and #6, just as the last two months Captain America And… Hawkeye #632 and[...]
