Thunderbolts #76

Thunderbolts #76 kicks off an "All-New, All-Different" era of the series with a cover that pulls no punches — literally. Francisco Ruiz Velasco fills the image with a battered, grinning ensemble of roughed-up faces, bandaged and bruised, crowded together beneath a cracked, unsettling figure looming at the center. Writer John Arcudi joins Velasco (handling pencils, inks, and colors) for what Kurt Busiek himself called "good work by talented people…a book to be proud of" — and this worn, weary lineup suggests the title "Bare Knuckle" is more than just a name.
