Rated T+
The hard thing about rating something like King in Black: Thunderbolts #2 is that it is a good book. I enjoy reading it and it is fun. But at the same time, do I really care what is going on in it? The answer is "no, not really". The characters are fun and I get a nice laugh out of it, but at the same time, I don't really honestly care about anything happening in it. Read Full Review
This Thunderbolts team is Marvels version of the Suicide Squad. It provides a few quick laughs and does have cool art and some action but thats about it. Its a slight detour for readers while they wait for the King in Black main series. Read Full Review
The first issue of King in Black: Thunderbolts was all killer and no filler, which is why the stretched sense of issue #2 makes it read like there was only about 2 issues of plot for this 3 issue miniseries. Read Full Review
This KIB tie ins mini series had no reason to be this much fun but it is
I’d let Batroc and Star tag-team bully me any day.
Rosenberg is at it again. Ever since this man's run on Uncanny , I swear he can take any super team and put them to good use - as Kingpin does in this issue, still trying to pull a trick out of Norman Osborn's old Thunderbolts playbook way back in Secret Invasion when I was still in middle school, hitting puberty.
Laughs abound, for damn near every page , and that is far from an understatement. There's no redemption for this set of Thunderbolts here , and that's exactly how I like them. Assholes (and hats) through and through. Who knew looking at a deer get caught in the headlights could be funny as much as that trope has been beaten to death as the severed body of the Sentry , which present in this issue , got even more laughs out of more
Still cannot believe how fun this book is. I'd love a proper book starring this team, written by Rosenberg.
Some of the costume design choices are iffy, but I really like the writing a lot.
If you think it will be exactly what you expect, you may be surprised. It will be better than that.
The T-Bolts snark their way out of Ravencroft, fighting through some Knullified inmates and executing the first step of a profoundly stupid plan. Whatever, I'm not here for the plot, I'm here for c-list supervillains sassing each other like Real Housewives, and I get plenty of that. The art's pretty nice, too.
