Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of the Avengers' greatest foes, Baron Zemo, formed the Thunderbolts as a team of ostensible heroes who were truly super-villains in disguise. When the team's true motives were exposed, some of the Thunderbolts remained together to try to make it as heroes. Now Zemo has a new plot that teams him with the hordes of Hydra--and the Avengers and the Thunderbolts must put aside their differences and work together to stop the greater threat of Zemo!.

4.0 out of 5 stars Veterans meet the new kids on the block, May 11, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Wildwood, Illinois, U.S.of A.) - See all my reviews

This is the first time I've been exposed to the Thunderbolts but the Avengers and Hawkeye I've enjoyed in previous books and comics. I enjoyed the teaming up of the villians and the heroes, then the double cross between the villians you knew had to happen. I enjoyed the book it was fast paced and introduced the characters well to us who aren't familiar with them.

4.0 out of 5 stars First novel starring the Avengers in years is great., December 13, 1998

By A Customer

The Avengers and the Thunderbolts. Two of Marvel's best selling comic books now appear in their own novel, written by Pierce Askegren. The story is well written and moves along at a fast rate. This is the first Marvel novel which serves as a tie in to current stories going on in the comics and it's a smooth transistion from one form of story telling to another. I hope this is the begining of many more Avengers novels to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comic reading in paperback, December 5, 2001

By	Daniel R Finnegan (Bremerton, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This book did a fabulous job of transferring what we see in the comics we buy each week into words only and getting it just right. I was very pleased with the author's handling of the character of Thor in particular, as he is my personal favorite, but all the characters were well handled and well written. The story was excellent overall. Marvel, give us more of THIS!!!!
