THE EXPLOSIVE FINALE!
• What are the Thunderbolts doing with the Sentry's body?
• Oh...Oh, no. Really? That's the plan??? Well, as long as everything comes out all right in the end.
• Wait, THAT'S how it ends??? YIKES.
Rated T+
There are some great twists and turns as this mini-series reaches its conclusion. Most importantly, it leaves the door wide open to tell more stories with this rag-tag group...even if they're still carting around the Sentry's corpse. When I reviewed the first issue, I said this was the King in Black tie-in that had the most potential for more and that definitely still holds true with this last chapter. The Marvel Universe needs a book like Thunderbolts. It's got that fun edge to it that you're not going to get from the likes of Captain America or Iron Man. Read Full Review
Thunderbolts has been one of the best of the King in Black tie-ins. It’s been funny from beginning to end, while it may have come together as a response to Knull this reads more like an introduction to a brand new iteration of the Thunderbolts with an exciting future ahead of them. Rosenberg keeps the laughs coming even while the odds are stacked against our heroes (villains) and it’s been one of the best mini-series to come out of King in Black. Read Full Review
This could have been something special, but instead it chose to play things safe. Read Full Review
A great send off to the best tie-in of the King In Black saga, which in hindsight, did not have the stiffest competition.
The laughs are sti rolling, the oil paint still looks niche, and the dialogue is still just as raw as the action.
The ending is paint-by-the-numbers , comic book 101 , on how to set up a tie-in into an on-going - and I hope Rosenberg writes that too when it's time to reassemble Marvel's best team before Duggan wen't all Savage with the Avengers.
I only wonder who Taskmaster really is, because when that masked peeled off, it could've been the Chamelon for all I know. This is how you whet a reader's appetite. Thunderbolts is how you keep comic book shops open in an era where print is dead.

It's stupid. But it is good. And worth the read.
What’re we some kinda death troupe?
What a fun miniseries. Cannot remember the last time I've read an event tie-in book that was this good. Really hoping this would get a continuation by the same creative this as this was just fantastic.
The disrespect for Foolkiller smh.
The Thunderbolts pull a big win out of their suicide mission, of course. It looks pretty good and it moves fast and of course it still has that textbook Matthew Rosenberg sass. It executes a pitch for an ongoing pretty well, but I'm kind of conflicted by that prospect. Batroc's is the only characterization here I particularly like.
