Thunderbolts #103

In "Taking Civil Liberties [Part 1]," the Thunderbolts are pulled into a high-stakes mission by SHIELD to detain dangerous super-villains—only to find that Zemo has already taken matters into his own hands, setting up a tense clash of agendas. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Tom Grummett, with inks by Gary Erskine and colors by Sotocolor's J. Brown, this 2006 issue delivers sharp moral tension and a gripping setup. The cover by Tom Grummett and Gary Erskine captures the uneasy standoff at the heart of the story.
