Thunderbolts #14

tsaimelemoni's Thunderbolts #14 review

Operation Bambi -

Summary: We start the issue with the team taking down an adorable, homicidal cow that has been infused with gamma radiation. The team then moves on to their headquarters (I think it's awesome by the way, that the team's HQ is a sub) and they commence drawing names for the new mission. Punisher's is chosen, and they head out to conquer a formidable gangland operation. They get news that the Avengers have left Earth, and Rulk and Leader stay behind to head up remote tactics while Deadpool, Venom, and Elektra join Punisher for the field team. As they start to head out, we pull back to see Earth, and the approaching alien forces...

Good: Everything! Soule and Palo inject this book with some much needed heart and humor. I know that this is a team of the most dangerous people in the MU, but I felt like past arcs got bogged down in how frowny and serious everyone is. Here, we see the team interacting in a much more organic way, and I feel like Soule is really nailing the individual characters. I liked Elektra having a lot of face and dialogue time in Way's run, but I appreciate her more being more quiet here. Palo's art is a huge shift away from what we've had before, but I think his art is more expressive and evocative.

Bad: Where the hell is issue 15? I need it now!

as I've probably mentioned This BEFORE, I didn't Like Thunderbolts, because Daniel Way Ruined a lot of good things about the characters l love. Charles souls singular issues were Good, Not spectacular but good, but thats the thing, it was a a singular issue, so there really was not point in judging unless i got to see him write a Book with the whole team.before i move on to the story, i'd like to mention a few things about the art. I am not a fan to Be Honest, i did not like palo's Work on the I...

This arc begins with Red Hulk, Venom, Deadpool, Elektra, Punisher and the Leader, hunting some cow exposed to gamma radiation but don't get me wrong this "cow" is as dangerous as it seems harmless. After beating up this monster they reunite at their HQ (the submarine) and Ross explains to the team that it's time for each one of them pick a mission (like he did for himself in the previous arcs) and the team will do it for anyone that is chosen, no questions asked. Luckily for Punisher he was th...
