Thunderbolts #68

Thunderbolts #68 brings Fabian Nicieza's sharp, morally tangled storytelling — with interior art by Chris Batista — to "Becoming Villains 2: Trust in Fear," a title that promises exactly the kind of uneasy alliances this series does so well. Patrick Zircher and Al Vey's cover puts a blonde, black-and-white costumed woman front and center, her fist raised and expression cool with quiet authority as a massive full moon fills the night sky behind her. It's a striking, self-possessed image that captures the push-and-pull between heroism and something darker that defines the Thunderbolts at their best.
