Thunderbolts #1 (1997)
It’s time to talk about the origins of the MCU’s latest offering as we look at the very first issue of the THUNDERBOLTS!
Of course, there is the big undercover villain twist at the end here but who can blame them when Onslaught eliminated all of our heroes and all that’s left is Spider-Man, Daredevil and (maybe) Blade. We got Baron Zemo masquerading as a capoeira-slinging Homelander, Techno smuggling in his contraband robot bartenders and so many free-floating goatees you’ll think you’re trapped in a cable-ready erotic thriller.
Also, Meteorite gets judgy, NYC ladies get thirsty of Atlas and Black Widow shows up dressed like she’s late for work at a print publishing firm.
All this plus Jen and Shawn cover some recent purchases from Free Comic Book Day.
