The Thunderbolts, Marvel’s most lethal super team, have evolved numerous times over the years, assembling unlikely groups of reformed villains, dangerous antiheroes, and deadly mercenaries to do jobs the Avengers and other Marvel heroes won’t. This June, experience their greatest transformation yet in NEW THUNDERBOLTS (2025)* by writer Sam Humphries (UNCANNY X-FORCE) and rising star artist Ton Lima (WEST COAST AVENGERS).
The new ongoing series kicks off when Bucky Barnes and Black Widow discover a monumental threat to the Marvel Universe and recruit a group of individuals who will HOLD NOTHING BACK! It’s a radical lineup—even by Thunderbolts standards—that ushers in a revolutionary new era of the iconic team. Taking the high-octane, chaotic energy the Thunderbolts are known for to its wildest limits, the thrilling new title launches just in time for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*, in theaters on May 2
THE WINTER SOLDIER. BLACK WIDOW. CARNAGE. THE HULK. NAMOR. CLEA. WOLVERINE. They’re the most dangerous loners and antiheroes in the Marvel Universe. Nothing could make them work together… but Bucky Barnes and the Black Widow are going to give it a shot.
Demented duplicates of the Illuminati are threatening the world, and if they figure out how to work together, they’ll be as unstoppable as the originals. Bucky and Natasha need allies who will do anything to take the duplicates out – but wrangling a team of killers and monsters presents its own dangers. Welcome to the New Thunderbolts* – hope you survive the experience!

On Sale 6/11« I love every iteration of Thunderbolts, » Humphries said. « I’m thrilled to continue the franchise’s proud tradition of hard hitting action, powder keg personalities, and explosive surprises into a new era. This is a gang of seven of the biggest badasses and loose cannons from different corners of the Marvel Universe. Assembling a super team is like inviting the right combination of guests to a dinner party. So I imagined a dangerous, disastrous, unhinged Marvel dinner party, and went with that. »
« I’m having a blast working on this book with Mr. Humphries and the team, » Lima shared. « Look at this lineup… it’s crazy. They’re not here to talk; they jump straight to the action! And that’s the most fun part to draw. None of them are known for taking it easy on the job, so I can’t either. »
« Ton is stepping up to the plate with blockbuster artwork that really does justice to the big characters on the team, » Humphries added.
Check out Stephen Segovia’s main cover along with a variant cover by Mark Bagley and stay tuned in the coming months for a first look at the terrifying threat that brings the NEW THUNDERBOLTS* together—THE KILLUMINATI!
Ah ouais.
Ni les auteurs, ni la compo’, ni l’astérisque ne donnent envie. Dommage de casser le run de Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly sur plusieurs mini-séries pour ça.
A partir de maintenant, les Thunderbolts risquent bien de toujours avoir un astérisque avec une Black Widow et Bucky comme chefs.
Alors là.
Sérieux
Sourire
Y a même plus de jeu avec les persos cachés ?
Maintenant, c est le jeu du titre caché

Bof, bof. Sam Humphrie lance une nouvelle série Thunderb… pardon, « New Avengers » pour surfer sur le film et bénéficier du travail récent de Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing sur les Thunderbolts et Bucky. Et bon, ça fonctionne moyennement : alors que les deux scénaristes avaient laissé Bucky & Black Widow ensemble, là ils se retrouvent comme s’ils s’étaient quittés, alors que James « punit » des collabos à Doom et que Natasha lui impose de l’aider à libérer des innocents d’un centre scientifique maléfique en Russie. Ils forment une équipe improvisée pour agir, et recrutent X-23 et Namor. Ils sauvent des gens ravagés par des expériences, et confrontent le responsable : le Chacal, qui a cloné et déformé… les Illuminati, qui attaquent avec un Black Bolt qui fait de gros dégâts.
C’est moyen, clairement. Sam Humphries lance sans emballer sa série, avec certes des Bucky & Black Widow sympathiques, mais aux dialogues un peu lourds et maladroits. Les recrutements sont basiques, les bagarres aussi, et la menace est un peu nazouille dans la déformation des Illuminati. Avec des dessins corrects de Ton Lima, ce n’est pas brillant.
Un début très moyen, qui fait regretter le départ des auteurs précédents sur Bucky.
