If this issue doesn't do it for me, Thunderbolts will be dropped. Of course, I've been saying that since the end of Civil War, so who knows...

Yeah this issue has to blow me away or I'm dropping this as well. The Deadpool crossover was less than stellar. I thought with Diggle this would be a no-brainer, but....But damn that cover is amazing!

Dropped this book after last issue. Deadpool crossover was a HUGE dissapointment. The covers are always so hard to pass up though.

Great book. It is back to form with the dark serious tone.
Some character development in this that made me actually start to dig on the Ghost.
That Deadpool crossover fucked this book up a bit, but it is back on track.

Trust me every one, this issue was a Hell of a lot better then that crappy Cross Over. BUY THIS BOOK!

i might just follow in trades. I really liked the arch previous to the DP crossover.

mega props to Diggle for using a ton of obscure early 2000s chacrasters in this book. Yelena Bolva, Ant Man Ogrady, and now Mr. X. absolutly awesome. and the art got stepped up big time too. this will be a kick ass book.

I actually liked the Deadpool crossover because it had Taskmaster in it.
Unfortunately, I don't give a crap about anyone on this team. However, next issue will feature Songbird and I've let her presence string me along on this book for months, now.
I miss the real Thunderbolts.

I hope they finaly show the last two members of the team. Really, for the past 5 issue they keep showing on the cover that guy with the shades, and the one with the hocky Mask, where the hell are they?!
