Thunderbolts: Back on Target #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the opening arc of the 2023 Thunderbolts series, as a new government-sanctioned team of reformed villains and antiheroes is assembled under the leadership of Luke Cage. The roster includes familiar faces like U.S.Agent, Spectrum, and a mix of classic Thunderbolts such as Abomination, Absorbing Man, and Titania, all tasked with taking on a threat tied to the mysterious reappearance of the Blue Marvel. Written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Tommaso Bianchi, this volume sets the stage for a darker, espionage-driven take on the team's mission to operate in the shadows.
In "Mayor for Hire," Mayor Cage recruits a new Thunderbolts team under Hawkeye’s command, assembling them based on public relations data rather than past heroics. With Hawkeye leading the charge, the team hits the field to take down the Thunderbolts who once served Wilson Fisk’s regime—though not without lingering doubts about the mission’s true cost. Written by Jim Zub and illustrated by Sean Izaakse, with colors by Java Tartaglia and letters by VC's Joe Sabino, the issue features a cover by David Nakayama.
In "New York's...Finest?", a newly assembled Thunderbolts team—Gutsen Glory, Harris Hutchley, Helen Astrantia, Persuasion, and Power Man—finds themselves thrust into a mission that tests their loyalty and skills, all under the watchful eye of Hawkeye. As they go after the former regime’s Thunderbolts, the team must navigate their own complicated pasts and the weight of public perception.
When the Thunderbolts face off against Eegro the Unbreakable, a seemingly monstrous threat, they soon discover his true nature is far more complex than they expected. As tensions rise and the team grapples with the revelation of Eegro’s benevolence, unexpected connections form—especially between Power Man [Víctor Álvarez] and Persuasion [Kara Killgrave], whose bond begins to shift in the heat of the mission. With Helen Astrantia and Harris Hutchley navigating the fallout, and Gutsen Glory testing the limits of loyalty, the team must confront what it truly means to be a hero—and whether trust can be built in the most unlikely places.
When the Super-Apes take over Central Park Zoo, the Thunderbolts are called in to restore order—except the team is already fractured, with Hawkeye and Spectrum questioning their roles. Amid the chaos, Gutsen Glory, Persuasion, Power Man, Eegro, Harris Hutchley, and Helen Astrantia must find unity before the situation spirals further.
In "Back on Target," the Thunderbolts confront the lingering shadows of their pasts when the demon Nightmare exposes their deepest insecurities, testing their unity like never before. With Eegro, Gutsen Glory, Persuasion, Power Man, Harris Hutchley, Helen Astrantia, and the Chavez sisters standing together, the team must face not just an otherworldly threat, but the fractures within themselves—before they fall apart for good.
