Unfortunately it looks like the Thunderbolts will loose steam. #117 will not be out until October and in November there’s another one-shot that I won’t read since geography means I’m subscriptions only. Reading your reviews the last one seemed seems like a fill-in and no doubt this one will be too. So in short only one issue of story progression in 3 months :(

Actually, I have always rooted for the antagonists, ever since I was a child watching Disney films Psychologically, Jafar just seemed far more interesting than Aladdin..

First off, I want to say I’ve been reading Major Spoilers for a while now and I love this site. The reviewers have a ton of comic knowledge that totally makes me geek out.

Second, I too thought of the Scourge all this issue and geeked out when I got a jist of what’s coming. If this is true, a little sad though since I was planning on using the Scourge in a story. :-/

Ah well. I trust Mr. Ellis.

So do you think Gargan’s seperation of self from suit is going to figure into the return of Eddie Brock? Either way, he seems to be having some man/monster issues. I’m a sucker for that kind of story, from Hyde to Hulk.

maybe im dumb, but its not completely clear to me. i thought the old scourges dressed up like villians then PUM-Smack, but this mindwave(no hyphen) seems to have the powers of the dead mindwave, which i didnt think the scourges had.

the dead ringer, an old cap foe, could do something like that i think.

can somebody clarify?

Well, as long as Turner D. Century doesn’t show up…

Hey Matt, I’ve been a frequent visitor for a while now, and I just wanted to say thanks for continuing with the Thunderbolts reviews. These issues are, for my money, one of the most interesting things going in the M-U right now…and one of the main reasons I keep coming back here.

That dialog between Venom and Songbird was fantastic. This was the first time I’ve seen the symbiote on someone besides Brock and actually enjoyed the character.

A tortured/naive Mac w/out green eyes is a good Venom in my book.

The recesses of your comic knowledge never cease to amaze me. I have no cmplaints about Thunderbolts right now. It’s like one of my guilty pleaure books where I can’t believe I’m getting in on the mind set of psychopaths and constantly rooting for the protagonists to get beat up. I hope Mindwave and Caprice kick their aspirins and take out the Negative Zone prison to boot…

Please stop making Thunderbolts sound interesting. I only bought the first Ellis issue (and hated it) but you’re making me want to pick it up again. Wasn’t changing my mind about Checkmate enough?

looks like it’s hunting season for villains! you’re quite right, it’s fun to hate these protagonists. I’m starting to wonder how far down the insanity barrel Robbie will be heading to though…
