Thunderbolts #111 proves to be a bit of a let-down, especially considering the potential that was shown by the first issue. Whilst some room is made for social commentary in the book thanks to Ellis' subversive use of the team as a focus of media spin and government propaganda, it's presented inconsistently here (Bullseye is unsalvageable in PR terms, but the public is ok with Venom screaming "Kiiillll" at every available opportunity?), and this issue sidelines those elements to present a relatively shallow story about a superhero being hunted down and captured by villains in the employ of his own government. If this is indicative of the status of the post-Civil War Marvel landscape, then I can see myself tiring of the new status quo pretty quickly, and I can only hope Ellis manages to add some further depth to the book with his next issue.
