I'm trying to catch up on the major Marvel story arcs. I've read up through Civil War in most books, but have read through Utopia in X-Men. I am currently reading older Thunderbolts, starting with the New Thunderbolts when they reformed after Avengers Disassembled. I've tried reading Thunderbolts before, but for some reason I can't get into them. I think it has to do with the fact that no one on the team trusts each other. I know that Dark Reign is very heavily based in the Thunderbolts so I want to get their background so I can understand and enjoy Dark Rein better. Can anyone sell me on the Thunderbolts?
