-Descripcion Original:

Justice ... like lightning! When the Avengers and Fantastic Four fall, new heroes emerge to protect the Marvel Universe: Citizen V, Meteorite, Songbird, Atlas, Techno and Mach-1! But in one of the greatest shocks in comic book history, these Thunderbolts are really the Masters of Evil in disguise! With Baron Zemo leading them into battle, what is the scheming villains endgame? How long can they keep their secret hidden? And when the truth is finally revealed, will the Thunderbolts return to type -- or have their brief lives as heroes inspired them to change? Collecting writer Kurt Busieks complete, fan-favorite run! Thunderbolts (1997) #0-33, Thunderbolts Annual 1997, Thunderbolts: Distant Rumblings (1997) -1, Incredible Hulk (1968) #449, Spider-Man Team-Up (1995) #7, Heroes For Hire (1997) #7, Captain America & Citizen V Annual 1998, Avengers (1998) #12, and material from Tales of the Marvel Universe (1997) #1 Review Thunderbolts was one of the best super-hero books to come out in the 1990s; its hook, what if the villains pretended to be heroes? is genius in its simplicity. The team itself is made up of a colorful cast of varying personality types, and they all have their own reasons for joining the team; some out of a sense of loyalty, others crave legitimacy, and still others are just trying to escape their pasts. It all makes for a good reading experience. -- Joshua Taylor This has everything a great super-hero comic should have: drama, intrigue, big action, and plot twists, all wrapped around interesting characters.-- Jim Townsend Thunderbolts might have one of the best concepts of modern superhero comics: a group of all-new characters purporting to be heroes are in fact criminals posing as heroes as part of a master-plan to access worldwide security and defense systems as a first step toward world domination. Such was the idea put forward by writer Kurt Busiek toMarvel back in 1997, launching a series that would last more than ten years, under various incarnations. -- Francois Peneaud The creative team of Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley stayed together on T-Bolts for almost three years. That was an impressive run even then, and it seems like an impossibility these days. Busieks vision for the Thunderbolts was clear ... his plots were easy to follow without feeling dumbed down or overly obvious. Im a huge Busiek fan (ask me about how great Astro City is sometime), and Thunderbolts is a big reason why. However, Bagleys contribution to the Thunderbolts cant be overlooked. He drew them with strong, bold lines and decisive action sequences that could appear deceptively simple while doing a lot of the heavy lifting of visual storytelling. His work improved issue by issue, and by the end of his run Bagley was nailing every panel. -- Ed Grabianowski About the Author Kurt Busiek is the New York Times bestselling author of ASTRO CITY,MARVELS, ARROWSMITH, SHOCKROCKETS and dozens of other comics, including such well-known titles as SUPERMAN, IRON MAN and AVENGERS, and his own creations, including THUNDERBOLTS, THE WIZARDS TALE, TOOTH & CLAW,SUPERSTAR and more.
