Posted on April 23, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Parker (story), Declan Shalvey (art), Frank Martin Jr. (colors) The Story: Fixer takes self-loathing to a whole new level.

By: Jeff Parker (writer), Matthew Southworth (artist), Frank Martin, Jr. (colorist) The Story: As it turns out, this particular man does have a name. The Review: I spread a lot of DC love around here, and I think it’s time Marvel gets some of that as well.  Now, DC has given a lot of big [...]

Posted on September 12, 2009 by paladinking

by Andy Diggle (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (art), Frank Martin (colors), and Albert Deschesne (letters) The Story: Black Widow and Songbird make a run for it. What’s Good: Diggle writes an interesting script for this issue, one that’s self-referential in many ways.  Whenever a character says a line that sounds ridiculous, cliche, or out of character, [...]

Posted on December 18, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Andy Diggle (Writer), Roberto De La Torre (Artist), and Frank Martin & Giovanni Kosoki (Colorists) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While I had my qualms with the last issue of Thunderbolts, it did a nice job of establishing both the new creative team and the method by which they would “clean house” in order [...]

Posted on November 20, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Andy Diggle (Writer), Robert De La Torre (Art), and Frank Martin (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Thunderbolts: Secret Invasion arc, while definitely (and surprisingly) entertaining, put the series in a perfect spot for a new creative team to take the ball and run with it.

Thunderbolts #123 (Secret Invasion) – Review

Posted on August 31, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Christos N. Gage (Writer), Fernando Blanco (Artist), and Frank Martin (Colorist) The best part about the Thunderbolts’ Secret Invasion tie-in is that it allows for the characters to be totally unleashed. Warren Ellis wrote a story of contained chaos: what would happen if so many volatile personalities were kept in a (relatively) small space [...]

Warren Ellis,(Writer) Mike Deodato Jr.,(Art) and Rain Beredo (Colorist) I read this issue with both delight and a bit of sadness knowing that the Thunderbolts are turned over to a new creative team next month.
