>In February, Thunderbolts will celebrate its 20th anniversary.

We have enough Asians girls with electric powers already. She needs to go back.

>>86802362
We have enough nasty meany anons already. You need to go back

>>86802391
Why?
Her powers are redundant with other characters, she is irrelevant as shown that the world keeps turning without her, and doesn't fit a new ethnic niche to appeal to a wider audience.

I hope Kurt finds room for some of those sweet, sweet wall-of-text '90s captions.

>>86802207
tempted, and yet I don't want any of Malin's art in my house

>I never read Busiek's Thunderbolts

>>86802207
Glad Jolt is back, she's been MIA for more than 10 years

>>86802207
Maybe she can bring Counter Earth Rikki Barnes back with her

>>86802207
This is going to be such a bad case of quality whiplash people are going to end up in the damn hospital.

Zubbolts is dull as hell, and Jon Malin should only be getting work from Rob Liefeld.

>>86802207
I wonder how they convinced Busiek to come back, he refused to even do anything for Marvel's 75th anniversary special.

>>86802936
He and Tom Brevoort are good friends.

>>86802962
I know that. Brevoort asked him to do a story for the 75th anniversary special but he refused, I'm wondering what made him change his mind now.

>>86803005
I recall Brevoort saying on his Tumblr (which he's no longer updating) that he asked Busiek to do a story for some special but it fell through because he couldn't get the artist he wanted to work with.

I don't know if that's the 75th anniversary special but this time he was able to work with Bagley so that might explain it.

Okay, Zubbolts has been crap but this is a nice thing and I am glad to see her back, so at least Zub was good for something I guess.

Also this means we'll likely see the Bolts actually get written well for one issue.

Can the issue where Zemo comes back be written by FabNic, please?

>>86802962
Busiek needs to get better friends.

>>86802207
HOLY SHIT NO WAY.

Nice! So when is Troll coming back so we can have all three T-Bolts daughterus together at last?

>>86802892

Come to think of it, wasn't Counter-Earth destroyed in James Robinson's FF run?

Interview with the creative team. Looks like we're getting the Return of the Masters of Evil.

>>86803667
>Return of the Masters of Evil.
Which version though

>>86803752
Who knows, they're being lead by "an old enemy", maybe Zemo? Also it seems they're just going to be called "The Masters". Frankly, I think it's about time for the name change, the Brotherhood of Mutants did it decades ago.

>>86803752

Well, it can't be Zemo's at least, unless he is just locked up in Captain Hydra's basement instead of being dead.

Maybe they'll end up fighting a version of their past selves due to Kobik?

>>86803833

Do they have anyone that could count as an old enemy and who could be leading the Masters of Evil other than Zemo?

But with the way he has been written by Spencer I can't see how he can get the Masters going unless he is teaming up with Steve. Which on the other hand doesn't really fit with Spencer's comments about Zemo having a rough road ahead of him and that he is in a personal mess that's only gonna get worse.

Crimson Cowl, Graviton

>>86803225
Why couldn't he just do the art himself?

>>86804193
Everyone can do headshots, that doesn't mean they're actually competent comic book artists.

Yeah, one of those two could work but Zemo would probably still be the most appropiate choice for the 20th anniversary (although I'd prefer for him to rejoin the team).

So when are they going to bring back Charcoal?

>>86806656

That would require sorting out the rights issues with regards to him so I fear the answer here is sadly 'never'.

>>86802362
She's here to take the spot that'll be freed up once Surge dies of terrigen poisoning.

I look forward to her interactions with Moonstone

And if Moonstone will try to corrupt this youth

>>86806647
Come to think of it, didn't we get a teaser for ANAD Marvel with Citizen-V on it over a year ago?

>>86806795

I doubt the book will make it past issue 12 if it doesn't already get cancelled at 10. And quite frankly with that art and writing it deserves to get canned; the writer, artist and editor are all bad and need to go.

But we are at least getting some worthwhile things out of this book with the return of Jolt and 6/7 of the original T-Bolts back together and ready to be picked up by a better creative team.

We did, and Malin did post this sketch of Zemo on his twitter.

Come to think of it Zemo is actually the perfect character for Malin to draw. No hair and he can get away with not drawing the nose and mouth.

>>86806946
It will be kept in life support till the HYDRA event starts.

>>86806908

Karla and Hallie always had an interesting dynamic that I can guarantee you Zub is going to do nothing decent whatsoever with.

>>86802207
NO.

She's the least interesting TBolts daughteru Troll/Gunnar>Kobik>Jolt fite me and Zub can't be trusted to use her well. There's no reason to dredge up a character that's gotten a conclusion to their story only to subject them to the shit state of current comics. Nothing good came from doing this to Cyclops, so why do they think it will be different for Jolt?

>>86802892
This is the one good thing that I can see coming from it. That's why it won't happen. You will never get to read about Bucky and Bucky broing it up.

>>86806656
FUCKING THIS

HE DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING DIE TO GRAVITON, DON'T YOU TELL ME HE'S DEAD

Too bad Joystick is probably dead. She was cool.

>>86807286
I think she never appeared again after Thunderbolts #109

>>86808468
She was stored in a space prison that was blown up. Negative chance of survival.

Between this and Squirrel Girl Marvel seems to be taking a page from Rebirth in a way.

Getting the original creators to "reintroduce" characters (commemorating completely arbitrary anniversaries) in back-to-basics approaches? It just seems really transparent.

Is it just these two or are there more announcements I missed?

>>86808599

Eh, it's not that hard to write or retcon yourself out of that corner if it wasn't shown on panel.

>>86803225
Fuck, why isn't he drawing with someone better writing?

>>86806908
I hope they'll just ignore Nicieza's shit Living Lightning version

>>86810046
But the speaking impediment was moe as fuck.

>>86810046
Going by the cover, they probably are >>86802474

>>86804295
Yeah, the actual artist is SOOOOO much better.

>>86806781
I don't think they are even allowed to do so being a fan character and all.

>>86810130
I never said that. Learn to read before coming to this site, please.

You're a dumbass.
