Rated T+
It's about what you'd expect, if you've kept up with the series. Not groundbreaking, but not dreadful, either. Read Full Review
The stakes are high, the battle is savage, with the Thunderbolts in terrible danger. I liked the story but the artwork was substandard. I had to look at some panels several times to figure out who was doing what to which person. The fight between the Wrecking Crew and the TBolts was poorly drawn.
The story gets a 9. The art gets a 3.
Kobik breaks along with the team, and Zemo is there to pick up some traitorous pieces. It's a strong, dramatic script undercut by relentlessly inept art. Am I talking about issue #12 or the title as a whole? Yes. The important takeaway for Secret Empire is that Kobik is splintered into fragments, and they're doubtless gonna turn into MacGuffins. Bucky is Zemo's captive, Songbird, Jolt, and Ghost survive, Mach X is MIA, and the rest of the T-Bolts have thrown in with Zemo with varying degrees of enthusiasm. When I downrate a comic this severely for its art - and make no mistake, this would be an above-average showing with a different artist - it's because art as bad as Jon Malin's actively impedes my investment in the story and sympathy with more
What the fuck...
