I decided to try out a new post titled simply Comics You Should Be Reading. I cannot always review comics in time for new comic week due to a very busy and hectic schedule, but I still want to give our fans and followers a chance to discover new things. Perhaps share another opinion of a title you may wonder if you should pick it up or not. However the story goes in your case, I just want to give you a venue to read about books that I am reading and that I think you should to. For my first post under this new category, I chose the Marvel Now Thunderbolts comic.
Why the Thunderbolts you ask? Well, in my opinion, this is the most kick ass Thunderbolts team Marvel has put together. Don’t get me wrong, some of the past Thunderbolts teams have been solid and have had some kick ass members (like Songbird). But they cannot compare to the Marvel Now team. The roster is as follows: General “Rulk” Ross, Elektra, Frank Castle aka the Punisher, Deadpool, and Venom (Flash Thompson). Not to mention the supporting cast of the Leader as well as the mysterious Mercy. The team itself screams read me, but the stories have been well written and can carry this series for a long time.
So, I conclude by saying you really should be reading the Thunderbolts. The writing is solid, the cover art is amazing, and the team kicks ass! So far, I give the entire series a strong rating of 8 out of 10. I didn’t like some of the inner artwork styles in the past few issues, hence the 8 instead of 10 rating. I hope you find this article informative and that you to will join the Thunderbolts. Don’t forget to get your READ on!
