THUNDERBOLTS #156

Lines are drawn and secrets are revealed as the darkly PROVING GROUND sets off. The Raft is full of action as candidates vie for selection on the second squad of Thunderbolts, BETA TEAM! The main team isn’t too happy about Warden Walker’s initiative to expand their ranks, but even they are curious: out of the Marvel Universe vast pool of powerhouse criminals, who will make the cut? Many are called, but in this issue few are chosen!

    Kind of a high tech version of  Avengers #16 or Avengers #221.

    Voting for Sandman. I wish I could subscribe directly to Marvel for this. I’m not sure why they’re not making it available.

    I’ve been digging Thunderbolts for 55 issues so far. Consistently fun.

    I was skeptical early in Parker’s run and dropped it. I’m back on board — he’s one of the best writers Marvel has. Sadly, though, I did drop Rulk. It was fun for a while, but we don’t need a Red Hulk book.

    @warmachine-So far it looks like it will be Shocker-Troll-Boomerang-Centurius and Mr Hyde

    This was a great issue.  The Satana/Man-thing crush is hilarious, and how can you beat ghost WWI soldiers in a haunted castle?

    I dunno’, I’m a little concerned that this writer has re-used the same basic plot since the relaunch. As follows: “Team is sent AROUND THE WORLD to a weird location! There, they’re overwhelmed and everyone gets beaten down, until ONE MEMBER flips out and fights back! The team heads back to the Raft, wondering how this new development in one of their team members will play out!”
