This is a strange comic in a way because in some ways it feels like it's stuck in the 90's, but also not?

Kurt Busiek decides to create a new powerful team of superheroes after the Avengers and Fantastic Four are wiped out by Onslaught. So the Thunderbolts start wiping out bad guys, saving people, and being, well, heroes. But by the end of issue 1 you find out they're actually supervillains posing as heroes to get the trust of the community.

Zemo being the piece of shit, but somehow interesting, leader helps this series a lot. His plans to dominate and control the world is ever so hitler, but he makes for a compelling bad guy pretending to be good. The rest in the crew range from interesting and dealing with personal issues of wanting to keep being bad, while love relationships, and others like the Thinker being pretty boring as ever.

Overall, lots of fun moments and inner turmoil for our "heroes" to deal with help elevate a series. It's a bit overly wordy at times, and the art varies, but it's undeniability fun. A 3.5 out of 5, I'll bump it to a 4.
