Preview: Thunderbolts #1

This is one of the series I am really looking forward to. It’s got a great premise, a great cast, and a great writer. Daniel Way, who has been writing Deadpool for the past four years, will be writing this book and since Deadpool is on the team I think it will be pretty good. The only thing I am kind of bummed out by is the fact that Steve Dillon is doing the art. He was the guy who did the art for Avenging Spider-Man 11, which I thought had some of the worst and unintentionally creepy artwork in recent memory, and these preview pages seem to have some of that creep to them.

Led by General “Thunderbolt” Ross, AKA the Red Hulk, this hand-picked team of like-minded operatives is going to make the world a better place…by all means necessary.”
