When they were first recruited, the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agent were asked if they would rather "burn out or fade away." Well, now it's "burn out" time. Original T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS artist CAFU returns to help Nick Spencer and Wes Craig bring this twisted tale of murder, espionage and doomed heroics to its thunderous conclusion. Everything from the first panel of the first issue of the first volume has been building to this issue Do not miss it!
This issue features some very strong writing (especially Menthor's last words, which old-school T.H.U.N.D.E.R. fans will tell you, tend to have that effect) and leaves things open for more Agents action in the near-future, but I'm disappointed that this book didn't catch fire the way I hoped it would. While certainly not standard superhero fare, Nick Spencer's T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents gave lots of food for thought, and was one of the more successful spy-type stories of recent years. This issue wraps everything up nicely, but I'm still disappointed to see it go. T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #6 is well-done, and closes out this latest chapter of the weird and wacky history of T.H.U.N.D.E.R., earning 4 out of 5 stars overall. If only Professor Jennings had created a Wolverine helmet, or a nice Deadpool harness, or maybe a finger-worn color-based energy device... But, you can't spend your time longing for what might have been, can you? Read Full Review
Farewell, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents " you were too bold to live, too strong to die. You were a damn good comic book. And you will be remembered. Read Full Review
A thoroughly inadequate, undeserving conclusion to Spencer's biggest contribution to DC Comics (not to mention Cafu, Bit, and other great collaborators on this series), which now seems like evidence he's been treated very ill in the wake of all this relaunch business. Read Full Review
