The Official Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers Thread

[GNR]

Didn't see a thread for it,so talk about Ellis and Deodato's insane run plus Diggle's current gig writing these lunatics here.

 

[Mr. Green]

Deodato and Ellis' run was awesome. I loved all 12 issues of it and was disappointed when it ended. I really didn't care about the title after Ellis and Deodato left though.

However, if Dark Avengers is really about Osborne's new team then it looks like we'll be getting more of Deodato's awesome art with Bendis replacing Ellis.

BTW, the second picture is awesome.

 

[GNR]

Diggle's first issue should please fans of Ellis and Deodato's run.He definitely achieves that backstabbing tension that Ellis had.

I was a huge fan of what Ellis and Deodato did,and this current creative team was the perfect choice.

 

[GNR]

who the heck are these guys?

I can point out The Ghost,Black Widow 2 and Ant Man.

 

[moraldeficiency]

I don't know, but that pic is awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Is the guy in the front an updated Jack O'Lantern, maybe?

 

[moraldeficiency]

didn't he die? Not that that matters. He looks like Jason with a gun. Ghost looks pretty awesome there. I wonder who the axe guy is?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He looks like he's wearing an executioner's hood and nothing else...

 

[moraldeficiency]

Maybe someone fixed the axe? A new executioner would be cool.

 

[prince_dylan]

doesn't anyone else think of "The Dark Knight"?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe someone fixed the axe? A new executioner would be cool.

Technically it'd be a new Bloodaxe, but I guess he could call himself the Executioner even if he's not Skurge. Something screwy's supposed to be going on with Skurge, though, if I recall my solicitations right. I think there's something about the Asgardians' memories of him being wrong or something...

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

Ant-Man
Yelena Belova (Black Widow II)
Ghost

No clue who anybody else is. It's funny when I see rendom characters form Marvel I get excited, when I see it at DC, I dont feel anything. Cause at DC I know they'll never use those characters again, at Marvel it's the opposite.

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

Is the guy in the front an updated Jack O'Lantern, maybe?

Hopefully, I liked Jack.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I did too.

I really wish the Taskmaster would join the T-bolts. I'd actually read it again if he were on the team.

 

[Darthphere]

Liar.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Now that Ellis is off, I totally would.

 

[Darthphere]

Liar, liar.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

My pants are made of asbestos.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, I may check this out now that proper characterization will be supplied.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Have you read a lot of Diggle's work? All I can recall is his Swamp Thing, which was all right but didn't hold my interest for more than a couple arcs.

 

[Darthphere]

The Losers, Green Arrow Year One, and I think he wrote a Hellblazer arc or two.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah, I never read any of those. Were they good?

 

[Darthphere]

I really enjoyed GA:Y1 and The Losers was pretty good. I don't remember **** about Hellblazer.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, promising... I'll have to keep an eye out for the identities of the new T-bolts. If it's a bunch of losers, I doubt I'll read it anyway.

 

[GNR]

Diggle seems to be following the mood that Ellis set.

If you didn't like what Ellis did,I don't see you diggin' this.
