Thunderbolts #105

Thunderbolts #105 ties the team directly into the Marvel Universe's Civil War crossover event, and Tom Grummett and Gary Erskine's cover makes the stakes immediately clear — a dark-armored figure has Captain America in a brutal grapple, shield and all, with debris flying as the two collide in a chaotic, full-force struggle. Fabian Nicieza scripts "Swimming with Sharks," a title that hints at dangerous maneuvering beneath the surface tension of the hero-versus-hero conflict tearing the Marvel world apart. If you're following Civil War and want to see where the Thunderbolts fit into the fracture, this 2006 issue is a compelling place to look.
