Thunderbolts #148

Thunderbolts #148 (2010) kicks off a high-stakes mission when Cage leads the team into the sewers beneath Hell's Kitchen without official backing to confront the escalating Shadowland crisis. Written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Declan Shalvey, with colors by Frank Martin and Fabio D'Auria, the issue delivers tense action as the Thunderbolts clash with a relentless horde of ninjas—pushing even the team's criminal members to their limits when Songbird and Fixer go down. The cover by Frank Martin captures the chaos in stark, shadowed detail.
