Kudos to Ain't it Cool News.
Well most Thunderbolt readers know already that the new Thunderbolts roster is very fun, and it intrigues the hell out of most of all as well :). Yes friends and fellow comic book readers the new roster is insane after 3 issues they're still going strong unlike other teams that after their first issue it's all downhill from there... I'm glad that finally the Thunderbolts are getting the appraise and the attention they soo dearly deserve.
Now for the review:
Sooo we begin this story starting by last issue where Ghost was attacked by one of the Trolls. That "Troll" was infact a little girl raised by Trolls. Crossbones then shot her with a tranquilizer dart in the ear(that must've hurt) to stop her. I think The Juggernaut and the others killed the other 2 Trolls, becaused that was quoted by Luke Cage later on, on the issue. Well they get back at headquarters and there we see a WWF China looking Valkyrie telling The Thunderbolts who the little girl was. I wonder, how did she knew that? .. Well John Walker and Valkyrie argued what should happen with the girl since she killed US citizens but Valkyrie wants her to go to a new Norse home soo Luke says let Rogers be the judge... Soo we move on,The Thunderbolts go on mission 2, in the briefing there Luke says mission 1 was a failed one since 2 Trolls died. They are going to investigate a place where a squad of SHIELD agents and a U.N. team went to investigate for crystals in a cavern. Crossbones was given an Oxygen mask and the others Oxygen tanks in their helmets. The others (the Mutants) were given used up nose plugs xD. As Man-Thing teleports them to the place they're supposed to go Man-Thing gets lost in the cave while Mach V follows him.The others found mummy like cadavers of the Shield agents all over the place one even stuck onthe cave's ceiling. Then they found the crystals but Ghost finds out there's a radioactive link going underground .As Luke tries to comunicate with Mach V he's getting cut up conection but Mach V is calling for help. Luke goes to help him telling the others to get the hell out of there. Ghost follows Luke as Crossbones and Juggernaut think it is a test. Moonstone knows it ain't a test since she knows how it is to be a superhero thinking of others before her. Soo as Luke finds Mach V he sees he has been caught in some gooey monster thing and easily defeats Luke, Mach V and Moonstone... after that Ghost takes control of Mach V's body and blasts the monster thing right in the head...but there's more of those things then there goes the Juggernaut and explodes another monster with just one tackle (outstanding!) but the monter's blood is burning him soo he falls as well... but to no worry cause Crossbones found a Minigun and he knows how to use it, and guess who's there next to him. That's right! Man-Thing! the ending was just as spectacular as you can imagine with Crossbones, Mach V(controlled by Ghost) and Man-Thing vs Goooey red Monsters.
This was as good as the last two issues of this series and that's a lot to say still, because it's not like the other 143 we're crap, oh no! This series has just been consistently good and amazingly fresh over and over again. The art in the covers are really amazing and this one is no exception, that Crossbones looks soo badass, Crap it gives me goosebumps! The art in the comic is also eye orgasmic with the flaw soo many are saying of Valkyrie has to be a sex godess not Thor with boobs! The fightscenes get a little too confusing with how much asskicking is going on page by page but its not like a movie, after you re-look it a couple of times you'll load the awesomeness to your brain :). The missions look a little too simple for me but as I see now, the big things happen when you are least prepared for em'. BTW I still want more Juggernaut action! But seing enough Crossbone teamwork is hair rising as well. Overall for this comicbook is a 95. I think I'll have this on my pull list for a very good time (Did I say this is my favorite comic series? xD).
Thanks for reading.
