Thunderbolts #144

Thunderbolts #144 (2010) kicks off a bold new chapter as Steve Rogers recruits Luke Cage to lead a reformed Thunderbolts, assembling a team drawn from the Raft’s inmate population—some of whom Cage is reluctant to trust. With Kev Walker’s dynamic art and Frank Martin’s vivid colors, the issue sets a tense, grounded tone as the team’s formation begins, guided by a mission that tests loyalty and redemption. Marko Djurdjević’s cover captures the gravity of the moment, spotlighting Cage’s new role with quiet intensity.
