Thunderbolts #168 – Review

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 [...]

By Jeff Parker (writer), Kev Walker (artist), Frank Martin & Fabio D’Auria (colorists) The Story: The Thunderbolts celebrate 150 issues this month with a tale that finds the team’s heavy-hitters taking on none other than Thor, Commander Rogers, and Iron Man in a brutal grudge match in another dimension.

Thunderbolts #148 – Review

By Jeff Parker (writer), Declan Shalvey (artist), Frank Martin & Fabio D’Auria (colorists) The Story: Luke Cage’s involvement in Shadowland is explained this month, even though the mini-series is almost over. But whatever. Oh, and the Thunderbolts fight some ninjas…bet you didn’t see that one coming, did ya? Bitter Random Thoughts: What. The Hell. Was [...]

Thunderbolts #147 – Review

Jeff Parker (writer), Kev Walker (artist), Frank Martin (colorist) The Story: Remember that song from the Kaiser Chiefs, “I Predict A Riot”? Yeah, that totally happens in this issue and it’s up to the Thunderbolts to crush the insurrection before it can begin or die trying. The wards from Avengers Academy show up, but I [...]

By Jeff Parker (writer), Kev Walker (artist), Frank Martin (colorist) The Story: It is the dawn of the Heroic Age, and Luke Cage has taken command of the Thunderbolts in an effort to rehabilitate the team’s image as well as its disparate members.

Thunderbolts #136 – Review

by Andy Diggle (writer), Pop Mahn & Carlos Rodriguez (art), Frank Martin & Rain Beredo (colors), and Albert Deschesne (letters) The Story: Black Widow and Songbird find themselves in a bad spot, as a divide begins to form between the Thunderbolts.

Thunderbolts #135 – Review

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, [...]

Thunderbolts #134 – Review

by Andy Diggle (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (art), Frank Martin (colors), and Albert Deschesne (letters) The Story: Mr. X and Headsman butt heads and the Thunderbolts hunt down Songbird, but not before she makes contact with a couple of old friends.

Thunderbolts #127- Review

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 [...]

Thunderbolts #126 – Review

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. Now the question is whether Andy Diggle [...]

Thunderbolts #125 (Secret Invasion) – Review

By Christos N. Gage (Writer), Fernando Blanco (Artist), and Frank Martin (Colorist) The Story: The Thunderbolts finish off the Skrulls they were facing and head off to join the main Secret Invasion battle in Manhattan. This gives Norman Osborn the opportunity to showcase his leadership skills (while giving him an opportunity to raise the influence [...]

Thunderbolts #123 (Secret Invasion) – Review

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 [...]

Thunderbolts #121 – Review

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. The Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato run has been one hell of a ride, so I expected some big things [...]
