The return of the gamma-powered MADMAN!The Thunderbolts first mission is going off the rails!Can the team trust the Red Hulk to lead them?
While not all is well in Kata Jaya, all is well in the realm of the Thunderbolts. Daniel Way's writing is stellar, with his trademark humor and ability to bend the character to his whim showing through with terrific results. Steve Dillon is proving to be a great pairing with Way, meshing with one another to create a book that is fun to read and to look at. Hopefully this trend continues and the new-look Thunderbolts stick around for awhile. Read Full Review
Overall, Thunderbolts may just be the worst Marvel NOW title. This issue wasn't good or fun, it's filled with stuff nobody cares about. I will say the fact that the team no longer trusts Red Hulk will make for an interesting plot point in the coming issues, but at this point this book is going to end by Issue #8. Read Full Review
Although issue #4 is a setback for this title, Thunderbolts is still a decent story, and I'm not by any means bailing on it. Read Full Review
One element that could significantly improve this series right away is a much stronger emphasis on humor. Thunderbolts takes itself far too seriously for a book about a bunch of killers donning matching red costumes and shooting a bunch of soldiers. If the tone were more wacky and the writing more focused on black humor, a la Way's approach to his two Bullseye mini-series, Thunderbolts might have something to offer readers. Read Full Review
