2.0 out of 5 stars
baited and switched!,
By Scott Edward Calibraxis (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thunderbolts, Vol. 3: Secret Invasion (v. 3) (Paperback)
It's a Marvel specialty: start a series off with a bang, with a hot writer/artist team, build a following, and then switch them out for low rent hacks. It's too bad they don't lower the price of the goods once the quality takes such a dive. I really would not be upset if they charged more for the stuff by the likes of Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato, but this volume, by Christos Gage and Fernando Blanco, two lesser talents, isn't worth the same buck.
Everything about this series hits the skids here, from the plotting, to the scripting, and especially the execrable artwork. There really is not much excuse for the plot being so tired, since, as a Secret Invasion spin-off, the creators benefitted from having most of the plot spelled out for them in advance. A pity they couldn't do more with it than play it by the numbers. I bought this because I got suckered in by the first 12 issues, and the Invasion tie-in...I'm going to think long and hard before buying any future volumes. The book is somewhat redeeming for the Secret Invasion tie-in. If you read the main Secret Invasion book, Norman Osborn and Co.'s insertion into the final reel seems a bit rushed--but that's because the story is told in detail in these issues. Read concurrently with this Thunderbolts book, the finale of Secret Invasion is a lot more satisfying.

History in the making,
By P.J. Norwood "N" (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thunderbolts, Vol. 3: Secret Invasion (v. 3) (Paperback)
Thunderbolts and what it is today is one of the best books out there right now. Gage, one of the premier comic writers of our time did a wonderful job setting up the foundation of what we have now with Parker and company.
The short-sighted Ellis fanboys hadn't a clue what they were reading at the time...but looking back they must be ashamed at they lack of foresight, actual literary flow, plot foundations and character development. Don't get me wrong, I love Warren Ellis, I see a title with his name, I pick it up. Some of it good, bad, ugly or great...most of it is good and great. I don't know many comics that keep one single team on a book for hundreds upon hundreds of issues. Only a slight few come to mind, Jonah Hex, Walking Dead (slight change at the start)...so to sit there and bad mouth the book and insult top tier talent like Gage shows these people for what they were...shortsighted and led only by a name.

Crap,
By danny boy "dbswongv" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thunderbolts, Vol. 3: Secret Invasion (v. 3) (Paperback)
From Reading Andy Diggle's Thunderbolt comic to this, one is struck by the sheer drop quality, in both scripting and artwork.
There is a lot happening here, but it is just plain awful mayhem. Everyone is fighting everyone else, including skrulls. Norman Osborn does his best to look and feel intimidating and there is this character Moonstone, with unbelievable mammaries, drawn sometimes with nipples and sometimes without... During the last fight scene, most of her costume gets torn to shreds, exposing more lewdness. There is Venom with his amazing tongue, licking up after every carnivorous meal, including skrulls. There is the Swordsman, with his unhealthy attachment to his sister, who disrobes for him to rub her back. This is just sexploitative nonsense and is totally lacking in any entertainment value. What happened to Marvel?
