Thunderbolts Gets New Lineup, New Creative Team

The person who's been put in charge of the Thunderbolts program is Norman Osborn," Brevoort said.

Original story.

At the end of Civil War #4, the comics world saw the shocking formation of a brand-new team of Thunderbolts comprised of some of the most evil super-villains in the Marvel Universe. But these aren't the only new members of the team.

Starting with Thunderbolts [HASHTAG]#110[/HASHTAG], Warren Ellis (Ultimate Extinction, Nextwave) and Mike Deodato (New Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man) will be coming on board to tell the story of this all-new, all-deadly squad.

Venom, lethal protector! The enigmatic Moonstone! Bullseye, the man who never misses! Songbird, mistress of sound! Chen Lu, the Radioactive Man! Swordsman, master of the blade! The mystery man called Penance! And Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin! They're America's newest celebrities, ready to take to the skies at a moment's notice in pursuit of those secret, unregistered superhumans hiding among us!

They're the All-New, All-Deadly Thunderbolts —making the world a safer place for ordinary people one would-be costumed hero at a time! In the wake of Civil War, Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato present a dark and disturbing take on Marvel's most wanted, where the line between hero and villain is difficult to find—if it exists at all!

When New Avengers was launched, the first six issues had variant covers by each of the original Young Guns, leading to quick sellouts rarely seen in the industry. Now there is a new group of artists on the rise looking to make their mark on the next big thing: Thunderbolts! To commemorate this event, the first six issues of the Ellis/Deodato run will feature interlocking variant covers produced by the six Young Guns: Reloaded artists: Leinil Yu, Ariel Olivetti, Pasqual Ferry, Clayton Crain, Simone Bianchi & Billy Tan.

If you haven't already jumped onboard the wild ride of redemption that is Thunderbolts, you cannot afford to miss the start of an all-era of the T-bolts starting in Thunderbolts [HASHTAG]#110[/HASHTAG] as the super-star team of Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato take the helm.

And for fans of the classic Thunderbolts, Baron Zemo's story continues this February in an all-new limited series, Zemo: Born Better, written by Fabian Nicieza!

Link has that article, plus a few pictures of the team. This...is getting weird.

Everything in the Marvel Universe since House of M has been getting very, very stupid. It's like they're putting out the worst ideas for the sake of novelty, like those old Superman comic covers where Superman is trying to constantly torture Lois and Jimmy. 20 years from now, people are going to be mocking this era in Marvel with the same regard they give to stories like "Jimmy Olsen gets married to a Gorilla".

Reminds me of the 80s more. Everything has dire consequences, but you know 5 years from now we'll look back and go "wtf were they thinking?" Fall of the Mutants = House of M. Avengers No More (can't remember the exact name, but honestly, it might have been Avengers Disassembled) = Avengers Disassembled (EXACT SAME STORYLINE, except Dr. Druid instead of Scarlet Witch, and no one died). Power Pack's back. Wolverine is everywhere. Spidey's depressed. FF are breaking up. Iron Man's drunk (this time, it's with power). Cap's losing his faith in the government. The Nova Corps is decimated. Hulk is off-planet. All we need is a new Inferno.

Yeah, we've devolved back into grim and gritty anti-heroes, angst, paranoia, and all that crappy 80s stuff that took over as a result of Frank Miller. The jerk.
