Ellis on Thunderbolts??

[Anubis]

The one motha f**ka capable of scarring the living s**t out of Bullseye. Heh, hilarious.

 

[SpideyInATree]

It looks like I'm going to have to start reading the Thunderbolts. Green F'n Goblin. ScorpVenom. Bullseye. That's got **** McGee written all over it, and you all know it.

 

[GNR]

4 reallzzzzz111!!!!

If "**** McGee" means "it looks like ****," sure.

 

[Red]

You know what irks me is that they've done the same thing as to what Bendis did with the Avengers.

 

[Red]

Edit.

 

[SpideyInATree]

*shrugs* **** McGee = something good. Not four astericks.

 

[roach]

this is th opposite of **** McGee...this is Dick McCracken

 

[SpideyInATree]

I guess so. All I know is that I'm going to be reading Thunderbolts now if that's the team it's going to be.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. The only reason Spider-Man and Wolverine were on the Avengers was so that comic could get a sales boost from having popular heroes on the title to make it a JLA knock-off. Nevermind that Spidey works better as a solo hero and Wolverine is overexposed enough as it is, the book sold like hotcakes, quality be damned. And guess what? That line-up didn't last. Now Marvel is trying the same strategy again with Thunderbolts by having Venom, Bullseye, and Green Goblin on the roster--with Norman Osborn apparently being the leader no less--solely because they're popular villains and trying to capitalize off DC's Villains United/Secret Six series. Nevermind that the comic is supposed to be about redemption and that the new guys are psychopaths who can't be redeemed--and who work better AS villains and not superhero wannabes.

Oh, ok. I suppose it doesn't mean four asterisks, which are what I had in my post, either.

Joey Q: Warren we want you to do Thunderbolts.
Ellis: Ok ill do it. But I have the same catch as everything else I do in continuity.
Joey Q: Whats that?
Ellis: I have to **** it up beyond recognition and throw everything that came before it out the window because I cant work within an already existsing continuity.
Joey Q: Ok, sales will be worth it. Fanboys are all so predictable.

Exactly, its the jump the shark moment.

I thought his first name was Phil

I think they already tried that with the whole "Fight Club" thing.

so while we are seeing pics of this team Venom wont officially join until issue 12 and Penance is the mystery character that'll appear once???

Nah it's his younger brother

JQ looks at the cover of Thunderbolts.
JQ: You know what this book needs????
Yesman: no sir
JQ:Supervillains
Yesman:sir it already has....
JQ: No I mean the big ones. Avengers has our big heroes T-bolts should have our big, appearing in movies villains.
Yesman:um...sir but why would the Green Goblin, Venom and Bulls Eye team up???
JQ: Get this...they dont want to break the law.
Yesman: I wonder if Mon-star will have me back????

And after all the build-up, Penance will be revealed to be Echo.

And that's why I won't be picking up this garbage...

 

[SpideyInATree]

And I'll be picking up this garbage.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Enjoy your garbage then. I'll pick up something worthwhile.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I don't necessarily know if I'll be enjoying the garbage, but I'll be trying the garbage out.

Another man's garbage is another man's treasure. And, so far, this looks like a treasure to me. Green F'n Goblin, crazy ass old man that he is, leading a team of super villains. That's priceless.

All I'm hearing is a bunch of "Wah wah wah, I'm not getting my way". Suckas.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Oh, im DEFINITELY checking this out! Can't wait. I mean, i love the current series (wish Fabs and company were handling the new direction), but let's be honest; sales were in the toilet, about to be flushed...

At least this way, we still have Melissa & Dr.Chen, interaction with some cool new (to the book) villains, and fodder for the anti-Marvel set to ***** about...

I mean, EVERYBODY wins!
