    Thunderstrike


    I was a huge Thunderstrike fan back in the day. So naturally I picked-up this new series of Kevin taking the mantle of his father. I do have to agree with both Adamwarlock and Blurredview on how the series could have been better as far as writing goes. Tom Defalco is one of Marvels greats and I expected a lot more from him. I did appreciate the series for all the action it had. A lot of writers now a days tends to over dramatize the character in battle, like say Matt Fraction on Iron Man. A good ol’ throw down in every issue was reward for once. Yet, the story never quite reached its potential. I do have to disagree with Adamwarlock on Kevin’s rebellious teenager behavior as being more of a nineties like. There is no difference in rebellion, just the music and technology has changed. Overall, this series gets a 4 from me. I do hope to see more of the character, especially in what I think is the best Marvel series right now, The Avengers Academy.

      The new Thunderstrike limited series concludes, giving us an interesting new young hero in the Marvel Universe. Unfortunately, it also handicaps itself and the character with storytelling that really is not up to the standard of today's comics. Marvel's strange decision to slant this series toward nostalgia for the 90s may be its only major problem, but it is such a major problem that it totally undermines everything Tom Defalco and Ron Frenz are trying to accomplish.Kevin Masterson has inherite...

      Well thank God THAT'S over... 0

      I was thrilled to have the opportunity to buy the first issue of this new Thunderstrike series at the same comic store I'd purchased the final issue of the original at some 15 years prior.  The original Thunderstrike (Eric Masterson) is still a character that fills me with happy nostalgia, and who I still feel is one of the most personable characters Marvel ever produced.  I was crushed that Marvel felt the need to all out kill him off rather than to just cancel the book and allow the character ...
