JUST WHY IS MARVEL BASTARDIZING THE PURPOSE OF THE THUNDERBOLTS?

 

[Darthphere]

Ummm no.

 

[deemar325]

I think it's a great idea! I've had this notion for a while of a hardcore A-game T-bolts.

Plus I'm bored with the current T-bolts.

 

[Darthphere]

But it goes against every thing the T-Bolts have represented.

 

[Tropico]

I've enjoyed Ellis' writing a lot before so I'll probably check it out. Unless it's the fighting crap again.

 

[The Question]

What do you mean? If Ellis took over the series, we don't know what he'd do with it at all.

Yeah your right, but dammit Marvel has been slacking on straight-up SuperVillian madness. I'd rather we get a ongoing T-bolts series which has major ramifications on the MU starring the baddest Sum'B@tchs ! written by a top writer who'd love nothing more than to punk superheroes in a monthly book.

So another reason for me to hate this book? Frenchtastic.

IMO Deodato is the perfect fit for this title.If they're going the dark route,kind of hard not to with these guys,Deodato is only going to deliver the goods.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I love lacking stuff.

Who's the girl in the middle, and that red demon looking guy under her?

 

[GNR]

Moonstone and the mystery guy is Penance,whoever that is.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

And now that I hear Moonstone, I think to myself "Obvious."

 

[Anubis]

Interesting.

 

[Tropico]

I don't know why it reminds me of Suicide Squad so much. I hope that's not a containment suit they gave Radioactive Man, it'd be a step back just to get the almost obligatory angsty-isolated-man-that-is-a-danger-to-others thing. Penance? So that'll be 2 Penances in 2 different series? Or is the one in Loners going to have another name?Hmmmmmm. I gotta say, after seeing this, I'm starting to mimic the sentiments of other people here even if it is Ellis writing.

Like I said. Another reason for me to not like this book. And despite the fact I originally mistook Moonstone for someone else (Moonstone being one of my favourite characters), that still doesn't redeem this book.

Must be a brand new Penance because the only other Penance I've heard of is the one that's clearly showing up in The Loners.

Anyway, there's also this nice cover:

Compared to Moonstone's other (Thunderbolt) costumes this one is pretty meh.

Edit: Dibs on calling Penance a Voldo (from Soul Calibur) look alike.

DAMN!! I had thought about that only AFTER you said it. Too bad I wasn't thinking earlier.

Either way, this Moonstone is kind of...trampy looking in comparison. But I still like Moonstone regardless. Maybe she won't be some little puppet this time.

 

[Citizen_Kaine]

Uh this isn't really the point of Thunderbolts. Its about wanting Redemption, not being forced to get it. And didn't sloppy Joe mention his biggest regret as EIC, was tweaking the Thunderbolt concept a couple of years ago? Whats the difference now Joe? Taking all the popular kids and throwing them into one book? Complete with six different variant covers? New Avengers much??

At least Zemo is getting a mini, but what about Jenkins or Atlas?

*sigh*

 

[KingOfDreams]

Looks pretty cool...if a bit crazy. Pretty much any sympathy I had left for Tony has disappeared since he started employing hardened villians though.

 

[fifthfiend]

Venom? ****ing Venom?

MOTHER****ERS!

In comparison to Cap, who throughout several comics condemned teenage superhero's since he didn't want to see another die, and then put them on the front line of his little senseless battle, knowing full well that the clone Thor may very well kill them, and then when they want to leave, guilt bash them?
