You know what film I REALLY want for Marvel Phase III?

THE MOTHER FUCKING THUNDERBOLTS!!!

What’s that?  Haven’t heard of them?  
Well, think of the Avengers…but they are actually…

VILLAINS DISGUISED AS HEROES!

Course, many of them actually went over to actually become heroes.
What’s that?  Still not convinced?  How about two BAMF female leads?!

Seriously, you all would go nuts for this team if you got this film!

What’s that?  You want Red Hulk and his murder squad?  Well TOUGH, they don’t have what made Thunderbolts great!

So yeah, that’s the Marvel film I’m crossing my fingers for Phase 3.  I mean, Fiege said they were gonna focus on some titles with female leads.  What better one than T-Bolts?

Seriously, they’re awesome.

…and ya’ll gonna be fangirls/fanboys, and it’ll be awesome.

Official Frienemies.

You know, if this is the last time I ever see these two?  I would be completely okay with it.

2) I hear you’re also on “Thunderbolts” for Marvel NOW! I have to ask whether we’ll see the likes of Songbird and/or Moonstone during your run in the title.


It’s very possible. I really enjoyed writing Moonstone in “Dark Wolverine.”

-Daniel Way about Thunderbolts

One can only run so long and so far until they must face down their fates.

For Thunderbolts members Centurius, Moonstone, Boomerang, Troll, Man-Thing, Mister Hyde, and Ghost, November 21 marks the conclusion of their run, as in DARK AVENGERS #183, Jeff Parker marks the end of an era for the team of cons turned government operatives turned unwilling time travelers.

“I’ll certainly miss Hyde and Satana, and Man-Thing,” the writer confesses. “Troll took a while to develop and get to the point I wanted, so that’s another tough loss. The surprising ones were Boomer and Centurius, I didn’t expect them to be as much fun to write as they are.”

Nonetheless, Parker knows the time has come for this bold ending.

“It bookends the coming together at the beginning of the ‘Cage’ arc perfectly,” he asserts. “You can argue how much progress each character made—Man-Thing made quite a lot—but they’ve all been impacted by their time in the Thunderbolts. It clearly means something for each of them.”

Before the team can take a curtain call, however, they do have one last hanging thread to confront: ex-teammate Cain Marko, the formerly unstoppable Juggernaut. Despite the pall the events of Fear Itself cast over his relationship to the Thunderbolts, Marko does find support in his time of need.

“Cain Marko’s biggest goal is always to be free,” explains Parker. “That’s what John Walker offers him temporarily, if he’ll help. And Walker isn’t even sure why. He’s going on the word of Ghost, of all people, but he’s come to have a strange respect for Ghost.”

Even as the Thunderbolts depart, DARK AVENGERS continues forward with the aura of Ghost and the rest still being felt.

“This is where [the Dark Avengers] truly take form, and grow naturally out of the book that came before,” Parker contends. “Just when it looks like they’ve hit the end of the road, they really begin in earnest. They were initially brought together by Osborn, but they’ve been put on their path by the Thunderbolts. It’s the legacy of that team.”

It cannot be surprising then that the final actions of the Thunderbolts alters the path of the Dark Avengers and sets the book up for its future.

“As you’ll see, what happens right at the end [of #183] kicks it all off,” teases Parker. “It grows organically right out of the story thanks to one of those Thunderbolts I mentioned missing!”

Moonstone: If we could just bang them on the head and sling them in a T-Wagon they would be much of a direct threat, would they? No, Jack Flag put up a fight. He clearly hurt us, on camera. He almost got away. That there is your direct threat. Our support amount the great unwashed will double. Because these people are now clearly dangerous, and we are clearly involved in a great struggle to contain them. Frankly, it couldn’t have worked out better for us. In addition, any superheroes watching that will go into battle with us thinking that if Jack Flag can almost take us, they’ll have it easy. And that too will work in our favor.
Songbird: Not, it won’t.
Norman Osborn: Songbird? Do you speak?
Songbird: No, It won’t. It won’t work in our favor
Norman Osborn: I will regret asking this, but why?
Songbird: Because we’re not a team we’re just a bunch of people with tasers floating in our blood. Moonstone is very clever but she’s not a team leader, really. Just telling people what to do doesn’t make you a team leader.

I for one believe that superheroes should inflate like balloons.

And yes, Songbird is mentioned!

Next Weeks T-bolts.

They’re bringing a lot of attention to Songbird’s age…I hope Parker isn’t planning something…
