Winter Soldier Leads A New Strike Force To Deliver Justice Like Lightning In Thunderbolts

Jay Cochran - July 11, 2023

This December, Bucky Barnes will put together an all-new squad of THUNDERBOLTS to kick off a revolution in the Marvel Universe!

Writing duo “Hivemind” Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing’s explosive transformation of Bucky Barnes continues alongside acclaimed artist Geraldo Borges in this new ongoing series that follows Bucky Barnes in his thrilling new role as the Revolution. With the demise of the Outer Circle, Bucky is the last person alive who holds the power of a century of dark secrets. Now, he’ll use that knowledge to embark on a bold quest to take down Marvel’s greatest threats and he’ll call upon some of the toughest, deadliest, and cunning players in the world to assist him! The new THUNDERBOLTS lineup includes Black Widow, Sharon Carter AKA Destroyer, White Widow, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent and Shang-Chi. Allied together under the command of Bucky and the one and only Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, readers can expect high-stakes missions in each issue as this crew sets out to dish out long overdue justice throughout the Marvel Universe!

Bucky Barnes, the Revolution, just inherited a mountain of covert intel and he has one objective: justice… like lightning! He’s going after the establishment, the people no one else is willing or able to take down, and he’ll do whatever it takes to win. Teaming with the mysterious Contessa Valentina Allegra De Fontaine, Bucky assembles a team of black-ops heavy hitters to pursue high-profile targets like the Red Skull, Kingpin and even Doctor Doom himself. No one is safe from the Thunderbolts!

"Welcome to Operation: Worldstrike! The Hivemind is wildly excited to continue the saga we began with Carmen Carnero in Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty - while also starting anew with a dangerous and unpredictable cast from across the Marvel Universe,” Kelly and Lanzing said. “The call has gone out to all those who call the shadows their home; every spy, assassin, and renegade has a part to play in Bucky Barnes' all-encompassing and uncompromising hit on the singular, monstrous living symbol of fascism: the Red Skull. Alongside our old friend Geraldo Borges, we're taking this opportunity to tell a very different kind of team book. This is a whole new era for the Thunderbolts and it starts with a four-part espionage epic, an ever-shifting cast and a single overarching goal: to tear down a century of Nazi evil with justice like lightning."

See this star-studded team assemble for the first time on a new promotional variant cover for the debut issue by superstar artist Mahmud Asrar. Stay tuned for more news about THUNDERBOLTS to be revealed at the MARVEL: Next Big Thing Panel at San Diego Comic Con.

The four-issue limited series will both dive into the duos history of secrets and espionage while playing off recent developments including Natasha Romanoffs recent bonding with a symbiote!THE EYES OF A HAWK AND THE VENOM OF A WIDOW! Even when Black Widow and Hawkeye had no one to trust, they still had each other even though their paths sometimes diverged. So when Clint Barton is accused of a rogue assassination attempt that puts the U.S. and Madripoor at odds, a symbiote-equipped Natasha Romanoff thinks nothing of coming to his aid. But as echoes of their past ripple into the present, it will take all their faith in each other and the lessons learned along the way to protect their futures."I love getting the chance to dig deep with Natasha Romanov and Clint Barton to tell a fast-paced spy story that celebrates their 60th anniversary, Phillips shared. Nothing is as it seems, and I'm having a ton of fun writing these characters. Not to mention they both look great for 60."Check out Stephen Segovias explosive cover below and celebrate Black Widow and Hawkeyes milestone with this epic series this March!BLACK WIDOW & HAWKEYE #1 (OF 4)Written by STEPHANIE PHILLIPSArt by PAOLO VILLANELLICover by STEPHEN SEGOVIAOn Sale 3/13

Right on the head my friend. Comic books stopped being comics a long time ago. Every writer seems to have some big epic in mind that we never get to see the resolution to because they can't keep us to stick it out all the way through. It doesnt work as multi part monthly installment because all stories stall or plateau in the middle at some point. In a comic style serving that plateau could last three to six issues or more and people just drop off. This has those markings. From the outset this team really doesn't look interesting as a comic but probably could be a decent novel in the tradition of James Rollins or Clive Cussler. With a beginning, a build up, an apex, and a resolution. But it must have an end. Would it work better as a graphic? Probably much better than an ongoing series. Do I actually think all the current writers are terrible? No. More like in the wrong field of writing. Almost like they were trained novelist forced to break their story into 12 or more parts to fit into the comic framework. There are very few real comic writers actually working in comics today. This is the same thing with television. In a series like X-Files each episode can be watched and appreciated as a single story or with the occasional two, three or four parter. These days with series like Walking Dead or Game of Thrones or Tombstone if you miss a single episode you lose cohesion of the entire show. I understand they are very separate forms of productions but aside from the goofy sitcoms all television seems to be headed thar direction. The same seems to be the case with comics.

I'm a HUGE X-Files fan! I hate the way they handled the revival series from a couple years back. But, yes, they managed to make a good chunk of the episodes standalone, while still balancing ongoing narratives (aliens, government conspiracies, Mulder's sister) that lasted throughout the entire run. That was brilliant. 75% of the episodes could be enjoyed in a simple "movie of the week" format, while the other 25% kept you engaged with Mulder and Scully's personal arcs. I still do a yearly binge-watch of the series. I appreciate the series way more as an adult than I did as a kid. Cigarette Smoking Man is on of TV's greatest bad guys.
