'I came into “Thunderbolts” thinking it would be more of a balls-to-the-wall action book, and if you look at the first two issue I wrote, which are Nos. 12 and 13, both one-shots, it’s more like that. But with issue No. 14, which was where an artist named Jefte Palo came on board, he had a much more cartoony tone — not in a bad way, it’s just much more figurative than literal — and it seemed like I could do all these sight gags and things like that with it. . . It was the work on that first [arc] that gave me the tone that was the right way to go with “Thunderbolts.”' -- Charles Soule



The team watches as Johnny Blaze is violently torn to shreds by hungry tentacles.











The Thunderbolts drive Cordoba and his men into the night.

The next day, they finally reach the temple of the artifact and proceed inside:

Castle was particularly being an utter prick(more than usual) in the inmediate aftermath of Blaze's (apparent) very violent gorey death by claiming this is what happens to those who rely on powers right after Blaze saved his and everyone's lives.

Be fair, he has to- if he doesn't disparage abilities beyond the human norm in some way, he gets his Nonpowered Badass union card revoked.

Batman'll come over and punch him so hard it falls out of his wallet.

He hasn't been hit that hard since Molly Hayes. Come to think of it, maybe that's his real beef with powers.

Eh, ain't the first time Johnny's died. He'll be back in a couple of issues probably, and kind of annoyed at Stern... though I guess it does make room for the new Ghost Rider, the one with the car. Hmmmm.

Also, boo on you Sterns! People too want to have sex with Deadpool! One woman even disguised herself as a X-Men he thought he had a connection with in order to do so, which he naturally didn't take very well.

Typhoid Mary was certifiably insane, and doing it to mess with him.

Yes, Wade was actually revealed to have a daughter from one such union. This happened before she ever saw him without the mask, though. And hadn't gotten to know him that well.

The best part of all this... Sterns talking about everyone getting laid. Except Deadpool...and himself for that matter... something can be worked out there. Also Johnny... he'll be back next wednesday. He's just on vacation.

I just have to comment that I love Elektra's whole 'best way I've ever died' comment.

How many times is it for her? She must have a revolving door card.

Lesse... Bulleye the first time. The Hand got her once, right? Hm, any more? I admit I am not an expert.

Does the Skrull pretending to be her to take over the hand count?

Half credit?

Considering she's a favorite target of the Hand, an evil ninja cult who know how to raise the dead and brainwash them, it's a wonder she hasn't died and come back more often. For all we know, she's been repeatedly killed and resurrected off-screen.

I imagine Elektra was thinking "This... and no less, is the punishment for interrupting Elektra-time." when she killed Cordoba's men.

While I've enjoyed the writing for the most part, I wasn't particularly thrilled with this arc. The resolution felt rushed, predictable and sloppy.

Which is really disappointing, because just about everything Soule has done, I've enjoyed.

Huh, never knew about this iteration of the team. Can anyone recommend some further reading?

Has their ever been a comic when a group of normies manage to successfully take down a supergroup of goodies/baddies that happen without a hitch?

I think that at one point in Garth Ennis' "The Boys" a bunch of human mercenaries massacre some X-Men standins, but that's just going off the wiki article.

The Boys were all enhanced (with the same stuff that made the superheroes, IIRC). Stormwatch: Achilles might fit better, but they had some superpowered members too.

Not the Boys themselves, from what I understand that arc ends with the cavalry arriving in the form of a bunch of ordinary but heavily armed Vaught-American mercenaries.

They revealed that they were enhanced pretty early on, Hughie was injected with the stuff that gives superpowers in issue three, I think, and the others had gotten their shots before this.
