Aug 31, 2022Thunderbolts #1 is an explosive super-fun start to a series with historically good runs. Not only is it well-paced and exciting from cover to cover, but it offers a solid reason to exist in an era of superhero books that can be rote and uninteresting. Read Full Review

Aug 31, 2022Thunderbolts #1 is a fun start. The comic is fresh while also the best of what has come before.

Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes
Aug 29, 2022Not being a huge Hawkeye fan, I was kind of on the fence when this book came down the pipe. With that said, what I found was an enjoyable little romp that succeeds in hits aim to bring the Thunderbolts back in a way that fits the current Marvel city scape. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Aug 31, 2022Thunderbolts #1 is a fresh start, putting a new team to the test. Humorous dialogue and delightful art is blended with a story with heaps of potential in an opening issue that doesnt like slowing down. Its a team that feels different from others and that is ultimately a good thing. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Aug 31, 2022Final Thoughts:Thunderbolts #1 is a surprisingly solid setup issue that brings a new team together under the authority of Mayor Luke Cage. The introductions are well-paced and shown rather than simply told. There are intriguing hints that not every team member is problem-free. And the rationale behind forming a new team makes sense for the story Zub is telling. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills

ComicBook.com - Spencer Perry
Aug 31, 2022Like nearly every other attempt at rebooting Thunderbolts, there's a kernel of a good idea here, but it seems to be the latest in a lineage of "Marvel has no clear idea what they want the Thunderbolts to be, but it's still time to try again." Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Sep 01, 2022Once again, Marvel assembles a cool super-team with a secret (that being "Hawkeye is useless.") Still, it feels like a book that expects a short run. Read Full Review

That out with Persuasion and Abomination is one if the best laughs I've had from a comic in ages. Rest of the issue has solid art and a fun narrative too. This one looks like a winner.

This is very well-drawn, and the two cross-cut introductory scenes are sharply written. This looks like a fun and funny team to follow. I'm a bit worried about the next steps, though. This issue throws out a double serving of plot hooks, none of which really grab me. I'm most interested in finding out The Deal with Palette-Swapped Cable, but mainly in an "I feel the dad joke coming, just get it over with" way.

Fun team up book, feels like a classic Marvel book. Good art, good characterizations, funny.
