FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN! When the Fear Itself hammer falls, The Raft is raised by one of its most powerful prisoners with a newfound weapon of the gods!
I really enjoyed this issue. Watching the two teams in action was pretty cool. I love Satana and think she makes a really great addition to the team. She is beyond powerful and doesn't care about anyone or anything. Characters like that make a book much more fun and unpredictable. Read Full Review
You can tell how good a writer is by seeing how well they can integrate someone else's idea into their own work. Jeff Parker had been just blasting along with the Thunderbolts, but he incorporates the Fear Itself story without missing a beat. Read Full Review
"Thunderbolts" #158 works perfectly; it advances "Thunderbolts" and "Fear Itself" storylines, and appeals to readers of either comic. More importantly, it's a hell of a lot of fun. If there was any justice in comics, "Thunderbolts" would be a top-ten title on the periodical charts. If you aren't reading "Thunderbolts," this current storyline is a nice place to begin.

So, you take the good with the bad. On one hand it is a crossover book that is more concerned with tying in to Fear Itself than telling its own story. On the other hand you have a well told narrative with plenty of action, albeit briskly told, with more excellent art work from Kev Walker and Frank Martin Jr. My question to those looking to pick up this book is: How big of a fan are you of Jeff Parker's Thunderbolts? Your answer will determine whether Thunderbolts #158 is worth your $2.99 or not. Read Full Review
