20TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE!
• Once upon a time the Thunderbolts were the Masters of Evil...and if Baron Zemo has his way, their legacy will be reclaimed...with the infinite power of a Cosmic Cube!
• Captain America's sinister plan for Bucky and Kobik begins to unfold.
• "Return of the Masters," the Thunderbolts 20th anniversary event, begins here! Along with our pulse-pounding lead story, this special oversized issue includes a brand-new Thunderbolts tale by series co-creators Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley!
Rated T+
Thunderbolts #10 is maybe the best issue yet by Zub and Malin, even if their story is a little overshadowed by a well-tuned aside from the guys who made it all possible. This is not the huge, tribute-to-all-history anniversary issue that you might be expecting, though. It does, however, highlight the conflicting feelings of these characters as they wonder who they can trust and how they should go, which, given the past 20 years of Thunderbolts history, may be tribute enough.

What an outstanding issue! The author is completely able to capture both the spirit of the original Thunderbolts series and the chronological details behind the team's history. Unofortunately, the art is extremely old-fashioned (it reminds me of Liefeld's style), even though it is not a 100% inappropriate for the book. I hope this title doesn't get cancelled after the Secret Empire event.
Zemo and the Masters of Evil attack. They're after Kobik, and their arrival breaks the team. Plus Kobik decides Bucky could use a blast from the past. This book has exciting plot twists, great pacing, and serviceable dialogue. The anniversary introduction - a dozen pages created by Busiek and Bagley - is also very welcome. I would almost certainly rate this issue higher if the balance of the pages didn't feature Jon Malin's art, which is, frankly, unacceptable.
