Without attempting to provide answers for real-world concerns, Thunderbolts provides constant, wish fulfillment action against them. Read Full Review

The one-and-done approach to this new Thunderbolts leaves much of issue #2 half-baked as Bucky assaults a meeting of villains at the Hellfire Club to heist Red Skull's wealth from a C-list figure with plenty of potential. Read Full Review

This felt like a huge step up from the first issue, and it makes me cautiously optimistic about the series. Also, Yelena is shockingly, jarringly better in this book than in the actual White Widow book.

This is such a useless mess of a comic. Kelly and Lanzing had an alright run on cap. Run that I thought had some good stuff in it, some bad, but looks like only the bad got transported to this. My issue in general with their Cap run was that it felt like all the thought was put into a few places and the rest was supposed to run off that. Same here, but the ratio between the 2 is worse. The first issue was okay, it started big, it did the big thing, but that's probably the only thing, this comics goona do and it's clearly done to serve the bigger thing coming, which is pretty meh for now. I get the a certain character could return and I see the effort to make his presence menacing, but the way they do it is so so tired and by the book. I think that this thing could have made even a bigger splash.

The dialogue makes this such a hard read. A lot of dialogue does not mean bad dialogue, but here it does, because the characters are all sassy and paperly thin differences between all of them. So a lot of dialogue is unnecessary and shows even more how one-dimensional everybody is and just how uninspired a lot of the stuff here is. Also in general a lot of the characters here can be samey as an archetype, like it's not the justice league, where everybody is his whole different world, so that again just accentuates the issue and the writing does not tackle that issue at all.

Also about the characters, it seems like it's just Bucky and the others do not have much to do here. It's not such a big issue for me, but the name of the T-bolts carries weight for a lot of people, so making this a book that just revolves around Bucky (I know he was a t-bolt during Secret Empire) and has a little to do with the traditions of the team is also kinda not a good look.I don't see much reason for the same t-bolts, especially since Hawkeye t-bolts exist. I know the t-bolts had various incarnations, way various than most titles, but again I feel like this is crossing even this line. Even then it does not move him that much, at least for now. Nothing here is revolutionary for the revolution here, it runs off old ground.

i feel this issue spends a lot of time on the wrong stuff just, instead of making a standalone worthwhile it's pretty much serving the bigger story and that's why a lot of the stuff here does not carry any punch, while the plot is really really thin and clearly favors the Winter soldier in pretty much every category. As an idea, it is kinda good, but again not developed, because the plot was so simple and there was not much breathing room, because of the sameness of it all.

I feel like Ewing's current Avengers inc. is all around the better execution of a similar idea. The episodic nature is way better delivered there and way creative, plus it does the episode justice, and the big story too.
