Thunderbolts #1
Thunderbolts #1 (2016) kicks off with a sharp, morally complex team-up as the Winter Soldier leads a new roster of reformed villains and antiheroes through Nick Fury’s most troubling files. In "There Is No High Road: Part One - Power and Control," tensions rise fast when Moonstone and the Winter Soldier clash over command—until Kobik’s literal interpretation of a challenge turns the situation explosive. Written by Jim Zub and illustrated by Jon Malin, with colors by Matt Yackey and letters by Joe Sabino, the issue’s cover by Jon Malin captures the moment of fracture in bold, grounded detail.
