Wow. That’s the only word that can describe this issue of Thunderbolts. After the mammoth 150th issue, who’d have predicted that it would get even better this month? Certainly not me, that’s for sure. The issue’s focus is primarily on the origin story of Ghost, and that is truly fascinating. He’s been one of the less interesting characters so far, but somehow, Jeff Parker makes him absolutely fascinating and sympathetic – you’re on his side, despite all the horrible things he’s done. The art by Kev Walker, too, is absolutely mind-blowing; his pencils deserve to be pored over for hours. Despite a great issue, the last page hurt it; the character featured is someone I care nothing for, but with hope in my heart, maybe Jeff Parker will make him tolerable.
