• First, a look at the Punisher's role on the team...does he trust his teammates?
I like this. I really do. I know this is a team book and the team has five members, I'd when Mercy makes her presence known, and seven if you count the Leader, but I'm definitely in favor of seeing this stripped don issues focusing on two or three characters more often. I think we're there folks. For those of you like me who've been hanging on and waiting for this book to hit it's stride, I think we're there, or we're very close. And for those of you who dropped off earlier in the series o ho haven't picked up the book yet, this issue s just as good a jumping on place as last issue. Yes, I picks up on a plot thread from earlier in the series, but anything you need to know about the "earlier" part is explained and the story is bogged down by being the middle of a larger arc. Now's the time folks. All aboard the ThunderSub! (That's mine, I know it's bad. Don't hold it against Charles Soule). Read Full Review
Charles Soule is doing a solid job of making this book his own in these last few issues. While his tone seems to be offset by the art style of Noto, this book looks like it may be on the upswing once again after a few disappointing installments. With all hope, the first arc of this series will be a new start for a series that was already fledgling this early into the series, but as with many books, it has its ups and downs, and it may be moving back up with this new creative force .

"Thunderbolts" #13 is a subtler, stronger character study than Soule's Punisher story of the previous issue, making better use of his strengths in characterization, psychological tension and thematic depth. "Thunderbolts" will be an exciting title to follow if Soule continues on these lines as he develops his vision of a team of complex monsters with conflicting codes of ethics. Read Full Review
While the colorization hurt the art a little bit and that the story could have probably been told in a more efficient way, there is no denying the fact that the tighter handle on the characters and the new ideas Soule integrate to this team makes for a satisfying read. Read Full Review
