this is insane! and i love it.
absolutely everyone in this story is crazy and evil. and the thunderbolts aren’t trying to get redemption at all, which is a deviation from past thunderbolts comics. in fact, osborn pretty much Wants them to be crazy and murder people in broad daylight. but i like this darker, more ruthless team. osborn’s ruthlessness and insanity really brings a lot to the table and makes the team more interesting.
love robbie, he’s probably probably my favorite character in this. we see some really dark scenes with him at the beginningbut then he does start to become more calm and he just chills and watches rugby with doc samson for a while, which i thought was nice. his powers are really cool and i liked his little fight with moonstone towards the end when he made a little energy shield around himself. i wish he would’ve taken up doc samson’s offer to get better care somewhere else bc that’s what he needs…. but this means i will see more of him in thunderbolts so i’m fine with it.
the last few issues are kinda just a big every man for himself brawl where everyone in the thunderbolts mountain is beating the crap out of everyone else, but i really enjoyed them and i thought they were hilarious. chen and songbird are great together and i loved the bit where he threatened to give everyone cancer. i also loved the bits where venom threatened to eat everyone
