Thunderbolts #4

Jolt crackles onto the scene in Thunderbolts #4 (1997), and the cover — penciled by Mark Bagley and inked by Vince Russell — makes her entrance impossible to miss: the energized newcomer bursts forward in a lightning-charged frame, hands blazing with electrical power, while the assembled faces of the Thunderbolts team look on from the edges with expressions ranging from curiosity to clear skepticism. The tagline says it all — "She's going to join the Thunderbolts whether they like it or not!" — and that bold confidence, matched by Jolt's gleeful mid-air pose, sets a wonderfully dynamic tone for Kurt Busiek's "A Shock to the System!" inside.
