THUNDERBOLTS EXPLODES WITH ENTERTAINMENT!

Marvel's Thunderbolts title has gone through more revamps than most books do in fifty years. However, the current version by Warren Ellis and artists Mike Deodato is by far the best.

The Thunderbolts are now a team of "heroes" (in the loosest sense of the word) who are deployed by the government to track down rogue superheroes. The roster consists of Songbird, Moonstone, Radioactive Man, Venom, Penance, and Bullseye and they are lead by Norman Osbourne (Green Goblin). The delivery is sure genius as the reader is torn with rather to root for the Thunderbolts or cheer against them as they go into battle against several C-D tier characters in the Marvel Universe.

The writing by Ellis is top-notch and the art by Deodato is sharp and many times brutal in its delivery. The battles that take place are believable and action-packed. The writing gives each character plenty of depth before throwing them into the fray (which makes it more entertaining when the reader is forced to take sides).

I'm sure some critics may call Thunderbolts too dark and violent. They're correct, but at the same time the level of depth and maturity in a superhero title is really a marvel to behold. If you're a fan of the Marvel Universe then you will be entertained by Thunderbolts: Faith in Monsters!

Truly Inspiring

When I first decided to pick this trade up, I had no idea what I was getting into. I was never a big Thunderbolts fan, nor a huge Warren Ellis fan for that matter. I had never really read any of his work, but I sure regret that now. I'm a Thunderbolts fan and a bigger Ellis one. The way he delves into the psychosis of these characters, builds upon their past histories, and correlates their actions based upon their own selfish or, in Songbird and Radioactive Man's cases, selfless desires is inspiring. Mike Deodato Jr's art is dark and borderline surreal; perfect for these situations and characters. I highly recommend this book if you're a Warren Ellis fan, Mike Deodato fan, or you just enjoy a peak into the minds of greedy, psychopathic, manipulative super-villains (i.e. Moonstone & Norman Osborn)

Monsters with badges!

This storyline is awesome! I don't want to say anything specific for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I will only say that if you're a fan of any of the characters, particularly the green goblin/norman osborn, you must read this. 'nuff said.

Not as good as I expected

Coming from Civil War, we have a new villians team. OK. But why is it so similar to 80's Suicide Squad, if it's supposed to be new? And where are the great antagonists for these new "fighters" ?

I like Ellis very much, I believe Planetary is one of the best things I've ever read in my 25 years of comics, but here he seems a little like a fish out of water, but make no mistake: his average work is better than most stories being told nowadays.

My countryman Deodato produces a good art, notice how he draws Norman Osborn like a (not so) younger version of Tommy Lee Jones. And Norman Osborn is really the best thing in this book, easily.

not his best

I love Warren Ellis. I normally do not like Marvel. This book is a tied in with the whole Civil War (Marvel Comics) thing. It is on ok read. But certainly not a must read.

I did really enjoy Iron Man Vol. 1: Extremis, another Ellis bit. Although after he left the book, the later authors were not sure what to do with a god like iron man. oh well.
