We also get a great backstory for Moonstone's moonstone and a terrific finale that at last addresses some of the promises that the comic has long made. You almost wish that was the end of Thunderboltsso that Marvel wouldn't spend the next 20 years retreading some of the same ground for some of these same characters. The least of this volume is probably the crossover. It's not bad, in fact its revelations about Madame Masque are quite interesting, but it's much more an Avengers story than a Thunderbolts story. With that said: Nicieza Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 to keep his subplots going, and even involves Atlas in a very intriguing way. If you're a fan of the classic Thunderboltsthis is a great capstone to everything that came before. Jun 11, David rated it it was amazing Shelves: comic-booksall-time-favorites. That was so freaking good! Now I finally get why folks so belove Busiek's Thunderbolts. That's 50 ish run is a masterpiece of plotting and Mark Bagley's artwork has never looked better anywhere else. This is another series I've never read until now. And it's one from my own precious Marvel golden age that Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 love so dearly - the late 90's, turn of the century period, that I find so rich. Really making me want to reread the Avengers from this period. Wish there were more fat TPB's to follow t Wow. Wish there were more fat TPB's to follow Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 one. Top notch artist Patrick Zircher picks up the pencils over the next stretch of Nicieza's scripts.

Are superpowers a threat? Do have a right to redemption? Contrary to other comics of the same era, this one is even more relevant today, which is why some of the elements have been used in the MCU and in the X-men films. My least favourite issues here are the crossover with the Avengers and the fight against Count Nefaria. I really wanted to go Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 to the main Thunderbolts story. He's one of the best villains of Marvel, if only because he is believable and thinks he is doing the right thing. I can't believe he's not sent to prison, but I guess has infiltrated the political establishment too well for that to happen. With Hawkeye going to prison, hide spoiler ] this seems like the end of an era for the T-bolts. It wasn't the end of the run, as there are 20 or so more issues, but I' not sure I'll finish them because it's now a completely different story and a different team. I'm happy to stop here, on a high note. Nov 21, B rated it liked it Shelves: borrowed. There's a lot going on here, but none of it seems important. Almost every character has his or her own story except . A few of the characterizations seem to fluctuate a little wildly.

And the characters were all just surface. Which was too bad because the first volume promised more. Sure the story basically completes but in the end I didn't care if I'd ever read about any of the characters again. Jan 07, Chaz Donaldson rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novel.

The Thunderbolts are a fictional team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team consists mostly of reformed supervillains. The Thunderbolts were first presented as a group of superheroes like the Avengersboth to readers and to the Marvel Universewho became heroes to help protect the world when the Avengers were declared dead after the events of the " " crossover. However the final page of the first issue of their comic book revealed that the Thunderbolts were the in disguise, a surprise twist carefully guarded by Marvel. Themes of redemption and the nature of heroism are often featured in Thunderbolts comics. In subsequent storylines, the group rejects their Baron and attempts to become heroes in their own right, eventually under the leadership of the Avenger Hawkeye. The book has also garnered critical praise for its use of secondary characters from other Marvel Comics and its use of continuity-themed storytelling. Most of the characters used in the Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 concept were reimagined versions of existing Marvel characters, with additional original characters for the series developed by Busiek and designed Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 Bagley. The pair also created the new heroic identities for the Masters of Evil. Busiek recalled:. The actual origin of Thunderbolts came when I used to live in New Jersey and drive to New England to visit my Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2. To keep myself awake, I'd give myself books to write, and work out about two to three years of continuity. One trip, I assigned myself Avengersand came up with the plan that the Masters of Evil would ultimately conquer them by posing as new heroes and slowly replacing them. At the time, I thought it was a neat idea, and filed Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 away. While Busiek's original reluctance was because he deemed readers would not have liked replacing the established characters and then having the new ones being villains - "Doing that with one character, like what Marv Wolfman did with Terramade a great sting, but doing it on a team-wide scale wouldn't work. Originally intended to be a similar team known as the "Echelon," the synchronization of the plans led to the Thunderbolts being used instead as a "teaser" for their own series. No mention was made of the connection between the Thunderbolts and the Masters of Evil in this appearance, save perhaps for the almost recognizing Meteorite's voice having fought Moonstone before. The team also appeared in a one-shot called Tales of the . The twist would not be revealed until the first issue of their own series. Soon after the publication of The Incredible Hulkthe team's own series premiered. The first issue, cover dated April Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2, was played largely as a straight superhero story, until the revelation of the Thunderbolts' true nature on the last page of the comic. This is considered one of the most well-conceived plot twists in the history of American comic bookswith Wizard magazine readers voting it "Comics' Greatest Moment of " and later, inplacing it at 11 on a list of "The 25 Greatest Comic Moments Ever". When word got out, the first issue sold out so quickly that Marvel not only offered a second printing, but also did a "mini- trade paperback " collecting the first two issues. Patrick Zircher, after a couple of fill-ins, replaced Bagley in issue Despite critical acclaim, the book was reformatted with Thunderbolts 76 Marchremoving the entire cast and creative team and replacing it with a brand new set of characters, along with a new writer, John Arcudi. However, the new direction for the series—an underground fighting circuit that employed predominantly newly created super-villain characters— was a commercial failure [ citation needed ] and canceled after six issues. With the combination of the eighty-one issues of the first series and the first eighteen issues of New Thunderboltsthe series reverted to its original numbering with Thunderbolts Thunderbolts saw another change to the direction of the series, with writer Warren Ellis introducing a new team of Thunderbolts, [7] [8] villains working for the government, tasked with capturing unregistered superheroes. Ellis has stated that he chose to approach the series "gently, but directly from a political agenda" [9] and the relaunch was closely tied to Marvel's commercially successful event, with the team serving as a dark reflection of the event's controversial ending. Ellis stepped aside in issue and was replaced by Christos Gagewho wrote three one-shots [14] and a four-issue tie-in with . Parker announced that "the status quo of the team undergoes a major overhaul for the new era to come. It's going to synthesize a lot of what readers like about recent history and re-instill some elements from the early days of the book. The Thunderbolts comic book was renamed beginning with issuebut the creative team remained unchanged. As part of Marvel NOW! Baron Helmut Zemo summoned several of his former allies from the prior incarnations of the Masters of Evil during a rescue attempt of Goliath the former bodyguard to Baron Heinrich Zemo. Zemo took the accidental gathering as an omen, and decided to reform the Masters of Evil and attack the Avengers. Zemo realized that the world needed superpowered , and that his team could fill that need. By posing as superheroes, the Masters of Evil could gain the public trust and build a position of power that rivaled the status of the Avengers.

Calling themselves the Thunderbolts, the six new 'heroes' were ready for action. The team found tremendous success as superheroic champions. The public began to think of the Thunderbolts as heroes.

Joltan Asian American teenage girl whose entire family was killed by Onslaught and was experimented on by Arnim Zolasoon joined the team after she came to the Baxter Building seeking the help of the FF. Jolt, however, was not a , with the young girl honestly believing that her new friends were heroes Zemo used the opportunity to create the team's new history. Soon after the addition of Jolt, Techno's neck was broken in battle with the Elements of Doom. Techno then seemingly transferred his mind into an android body built from his tech-pack. Just as Zemo's plans were about to come to fruition, everything unravelled. To the astonishment of the entire world, the and the Avengers returned. Faced with the return of the lost heroes, Zemo revealed the true nature of the Thunderbolts to the world. Ostensibly, he did this to ensure the loyalty of the team by ruining their chances of becoming heroes. The Thunderbolts minus the android Techno turned on Zemo for his betrayal. In the ensuing battle, Zemo and Techno used a mind control device to turn the Avengers and Fantastic Four against the remaining Thunderbolts, who, with the help of the size-changing Atlas- as well as Iron Manwho had designed his armour to make himself more resistant to mind control- ultimately rallied and freed the other heroes. Together, they defeated Zemo and Techno. Unbeknownst to his teammates, Atlas helped the wounded Zemo escape, while Techno fled under his own power. Amidst this chaos, Meteorite decided to return to her old identity. She altered her costume and changed her Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts Vol. 2: Volume 2 back to Moonstone. After a brief stop-over in an alternate dimensionthe team learned that Moonstone had no intention of reforming and becoming a superhero.

MACH-1 returned to the Thunderbolts after gaining his freedom thanks to Hawkeye making a deal with the Commission that had released him that he would continue officially serving his sentence while returning to the team.
