About this Collection

This trade paperback collects the first story arc of the 1997 Thunderbolts series, issues #1-6, in which Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil—disguised as a new team of superheroes called the Thunderbolts—seize the power vacuum left by the Avengers' apparent death. The volume follows the villains as they struggle with their new heroic personas, internal conflicts, and the looming revelation of their true identities, setting the stage for one of Marvel's most acclaimed redemption stories. Written by Kurt Busiek with art by Mark Bagley, Justice Like Lightning introduces the original lineup including Citizen V, MACH-1, Songbird, Atlas, and Techno.

In "Justice ... Like Lightning!", the Thunderbolts find themselves facing a surprising twist: a new Masters of Evil has emerged—not to conquer, but to consolidate the New York underworld under a new order. With the Black Widow declaring her intent to bring every Avengers' old foe to justice, the team must navigate shifting alliances and uncertain loyalties. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life by Mark Bagley’s dynamic art, with inks by Vince Russell and colors by Joe Rosas, this 2001 issue features a cover by Bagley and Russell that captures the storm of tension brewing beneath the city’s surface.
