First Look: THUNDERBOLTS #1 (Uncolored)

Check out these brutal black and white pages for the upcoming Marvel NOW! title.

The Thunderbolts roster is taking a violent turn, sporting a whole new set of characters who don't mind crossing that line. Marvel has now provided a first look at black and white pages from artist Steve Dillon and it's every bit as bloody as you'd expect this team to be.

Written by DANIEL WAY

Art by STEVE DILLON

Cover by JULIAN TOTINO TEDESCO

So it mainly revolves around folk getting stabbed and shot then? Good to know Marvel. Thanks for lifting your game.

the fact dillon's art is the only thing people are being negative about with regards to this utter trash outright disgusts me.

Finally a new Marvel team book I can sink my teeth into. I was sold on the idea of Venom being on the team. I dont feel like The Punisher should be there though, never really as been a team player. I also hope Deadpool wont steal alot of spotlight like he already does in the Marvel Universe.

Wow...!

Let's bitch about the art from a proven superstar and let's completely ignore the fact that this is Uncanny X-force with non mutants ( most of them) with a coat of Red paint` on the cover.

C'mon people how can you sit here and hate on Dillion's art ( which will be the BEST part of this book) to bend over and allow Marvel to ram you with their huge stick that says.." I AM A FOOL..MAKE MINE MARVEL"

This EXACTLY like X-force people! Same amount of members on the team, same type of characters on the team and for god's sake DEADPOOL IS ON THE TEAM!!

My grandad used to have a saying

"Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining"

Like Frank and Elektra, have no use for Red Ross, and less for faux Venom. DP I am neutral about.

At least Wolverine isn't in this.

Yet.

I usually don't judge a comic book by its art because for me, what really matters is the story. so i'll do what i usually do when a new ongoing interest me, and that is, i'll buy the first to fourth or fifth issue (usually the first story arc) before i decide to continue or not.

I cannot say how depressed I am by this title. Marvel has taken on of the VERY few offbeat books they have, which is now being written in a freewheeling, original way by Parker, using characters with untapped (until now) potential or forgotten glory, and they have replaced it with a drearily cynical lineup of characters who have no business being in a team, who are overexposed and for the most part, overrated.

My sad, slow goodbye to Marvel continues.

Well, I suppose I'm just stubborn. However, I'm not a Punisher fan, I really do hate the Red Hulk, I hate the idea of Deadpool on... anything and well, I am an Elektra fan. I almost picked it up for her only but, I just can't accept a Thunderbolts team without Songbird or Moonstone. They've been on every Thunderbolts since it's inception and somehow, doing a book without them just seems like sacrilege. So, I am a pass on this.

Looks like I'm going to have to suffer through this art cause the book itself has me sold. I don't want to hate on Dillon too much, I'll just say his "art style" probably isn't the best for this book. I just hope Red Hulk comes out looking a little better than Banner did in the newest Incredible Hulk series.

I'm guessing Ross brings him in after they worked together in "Circle of Four." Steals him away from Secret Avengers

@TheAcidSkull Then again Red Leader is going to be part of their team. While I'm no fan of Mr. FatHead (he looks like Sinestro's kid brother dipped in lime jello), the fact that he'll be an anti-hero is interesting to say the least. Maybe he'll turn out to be the brainy answer to the Juggernaut.

Yeah, I'm not getting this.

The art kills it, and Daniel Way.... not my thing.

It's a shame.

@Nefilim927: I totally agree. I know nothing about Daniel Way? From what I've herd Daniel Way was OK on Wolverine Origins and people either loved or hated his stories on Deadpool. Steve Dillon drew "Preacher" and most people say that he was great on that book but should NOT be drawing superheros? :(

I'm a huge Red Hulk fan, plus Elektra and Punisher so I'm getting this. I'm not thrilled at Steve Dillon's Hulk/Punisher but if their run is bad, maybe Marvel will have Jeff Parker write and Ed McGuinness, Dale Eaglesham, Carlo Pagualyan or Patrick Zircher on art. XD

Seriously? Dissing Dillon's art? He's gritty, bloody, raw and he has a very clean art style with strong yet precise lines, these are features you rarely get together. Loved his work on Punisher. As for the story: deadpool+punisher on Thunderbolts? It's been prophesied since the dawn of comics, it makes so much sense. Time for the prophesies to come true. Very strong characters and team dynamics and Daniel Way does it for me. Looking forward to it.

Punisher should not be on a team, especially one like the Thunderbolts which contradicts his attitude about ex-villains, he'd rather just kill them all like he did Goldbug and Plunderer in Civil War. He'd never take orders from Ross who he'd consider a corrupt military jingoist and would theoretically consider a menace now that Ross is gamma radiated.

It's just ridiculous.

I hope he's not on there long, it just wouldn't seem right.
