THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
This is it — the final showdown between Peter Cannon and the usurper who stole his legacy! The two masters of the Lightning Vessel face off in the memory-haunted mansion where young Peter’s childhood ended — and the survivor will claim the mantle of the true Living Thunderbolt, Destroyer of Death!
Warrior monks FRED VAN LENTE and JONATHAN LAU channel all their remaining chi into Peter Cannon Thunderbolt #3, immortalized with calligraphic covers by CAT STAGGS, EMANUELE ERCOLANI, and DANIEL SCALISI, as well as an historic Icon image from ALEX ROSS!
Fred Van Lente and company do a really good job of completing the opening frame of a very satisfying reimagining of the Silver Age hero.

PETER CANNON: THUNDERBOLT #3 delivers a psychologically intense duel that ranks among the best dialogue sequences in the series, but then immediately sabotages itself by losing focus in the final act. The confrontation between Peter and the Abbot is genuinely captivating, with each sentence functioning as a strike in an intellectual fight. Unfortunately, the comic doesn't commit to the outcome of this battle; so the arc's structure falls short at the most important moment. As a whole, this is still one of Dynamite's better offerings, but half-measures hold a good comic back from being great. Read Full Review
