Covers Of The Week

1) That Spider-Man cover is great. I love the icon-image in the top left corner where he's just standing there.

2) Superman vs. Muhammad Ali is a joke, right? I mean, like, Superman would "win" with one punch. What's the point?

(I'm sure they actually came up with some contrived Carmine Infanto story.)

'Thunderbolts" was consistently on my pull lists through the 90s, but its had quite a number of roster and creative team changes since the New Millennium were they were less of a team of atoning villains and more like Marvel's answer to The Suicide Squad.

Thunderbolts was typically filled with B-List Baddies but these ranks seem to contain some pretty well known anti-heroes that will surely attract readers.

I like the red/black color scheme (though I think it might just be for the cover) Its presented as far more balanced than the new Teen Titans red and black costumes at DC. Though I think it is kinda cheap that the token woman on the team is featured in such a deliberate butt shot.

I don't like these new Thunderbolt's line-up at all. They have come a long way from the original concept which was so fascinating at the time.

I guess "Justice Like Lighting" never strikes twice.

You can only pull a good trick off ONCE.
