Clearly the conclusion to be read from this is that Thunderbolts can't hold a title. And shouldn't be given a new one, ever, after this one gets the boot.
Oh, and this artist will be moved to the next fan favourite title.
According to comments on his twitter, he's deliberately playing up the Liefieldness of his work, because Thunderbolts is a 90s comic. Which makes no sense to me. If you're playing up Thunderbolts 90ish-ness, wouldn't you make your art look more like Bagley's?
Thunderbolts is the most un-90s of comics ever. The very ideas are laid within an 80s story. The only 90s idea is the ridiculous hero costumes. That's it. But that's the twist. They weren't really 90s heroes at all.
It's gonna be a grand shame when Songbird is dragged into this mess.
I was thinking to myself, "man, this looks like Liefeld. It's not quite as bad as Liefeld, but it's got some of his tics." Like the funky proportions and the crosshatching eyeshadow.

#1 was #32 with 45,000 copies.
#2 was #68 with 37,000 copies.
#3 was #91 with 26,000 copies.
The last issue, #4, was #137 with 18,000 copies.
Also, looking into the artist's history... he used to draw Youngblood and I heard he studied under Liefeld. It all comes together now.
