Beetle mania - Thunderbolts

[The Infernal]

Does anyone have any more info this pic? I got it from the Civil War issue at http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0605/22/index.htm. It seems there is an army of Beetle suits, including a Beetle style Spider-Slayer or Hulk-Buster.

I also notice that Mach IV (providing it's still the same suit ) is also there. I'm assuming that's the original Beetle still in the Mach IV suit.

Is thunderbolts a good comic? I've always wanted to get into it, cause I like the idea of villains turning heroes. Who are in the thunderbolts (is helmut zemo still in it?)

I have no idea whats happening and I've been reading "Bolts since day one. However in the recent solicits for the book, It appears that the T-Bolts are recruiting old villians to take down rebel hero's, so maybe someone else is operating old beetle suits, Abe Jenkins the original Beetle, now Mach IV, had sold his earlier suits to get some quick cash maybe that little get rich scheme is gonna bite him on the ass.

BTW the giant Beetle, is the one from the mid 40's Thunderbolts, Originally operated by Jenkins while he was being blackmailed, later, Leila Davis and used in the Goverment funded Redeemers

It's a great book, however it's got a lot of history to it so you might want to dig into the earlier series to get the full gist of it.

I dropped it. It's a love it or hate it book, and I really lost my interest after the Purple Man arc.

Isn't he due back at Marvel this year? Maybe we'll see him with the Thunderbolts again.

Personaly, I love this book. It's different to what else is out there in the Marvel universe. Though I am confused with what's going on lately.

P.S. I've missed a couple of issues. When did Speed Demon leave?

Issue 16. He got fired 'cause he got caught robbing Nighthawk, however he did show up last issue

Thanks. I had thought I'd seen him recently.

Who's talking crap about the Purple Man?

Just kidding, I don't even read Thunderbolts. I like the idea but the book has yet to grab me.

I like the new t-bolts. I just recently started snapping up the recent issues, but I'm hesitant to go all the way back to the beginning. What caught my attention was the way they

owned the New Avengers.

I don't really agree with it, though. IMO it would not have went down that way. I have no clue what the deal with all those beetle suits is.
