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[...]

The solicitation for May's Thunderbolts #174 was pretty telling. • The Clash of the Bolts Concludes! • In their most dire hour, the Fixer makes a devastating decision! • Zemo's legacy of evil destroy our present or can the Thunderbolts pulls the world back from oblivion?! End of the world stuff Or, rather, end of the title stuff. I can[...]

Applause to the cover department of Marvel who decided to make the cover to this week's issue of Thunderbolts… a little similar in tone to certain comics being published by DC this week Nice use of font size, folks. Okay, it's probably a reference to the very first issue of Thunderbolts But they would have to[...]

Asrar were on Thunderbolts from #136 But I didn't know that Power Man and Iron Fist were members Looks like the deal Luke Cage  made with Norman Osborn is coming home to roost as Osborn's personal assassins… I should write these solicitations, they're really fun And at least the French can't have all the fun doing[...]

And Thunderbolts #136 is written by Rick Remender, drawn by Mahmud Asrar and Francesco Mattina, and coloured by Frank Martin. It's not much I know, But how did I come by this information when Marvel have been so careful in the solicitations they have sent out to the likes of Newsarama and CBR? Easy They kept[...]
