It takes a lot of talent and versatility to be able to create art that can be slanted in either a serious or a humorous direction. In Thunderbolts #4, Sean Izaakse and Netho Diaz show they can do both in the span of one issue. That’s by no means a small feat.

This is our penultimate issue, but here’ hoping we see more of Zub’s take on this team. If for no other reason than I’m kind of in love with Eegro. He’s too much fun to fade into obscurity.

That’s right, folks: Super-powered intelligent talking Russian primates. Unleashed at a zoo, no less. At least they’re not slingin’ poo…

Things get a little more serious this month, as Hawkeye, Spectrum, and Gutsen Glory (Yes, that’s really  his name.) come into conflict over leadership of the team. This book is on the comedic side, for sure. But it’s nice to see that Zub and this team can crank up the interpersonal drama too.

And yes, I still love Eegro the Unbreakable. More Eegro, please.

This new Thunderbolts series has been quite enjoyable thus far. It consistently makes me chuckle. Considering it’s tone, that means it’s doing what it’s designed to do.

I’m kind of in love with Eegro the Unbreakable, both from a writing and design perspective. I’m thrilled we’ll be seeing more of him.

Luke Cage is the mayor of New York City now? I definitely missed that little tidbit of information…

I can’t say I’m familiar with most of the other heroes in this new Thunderbolts line-up. But the issue does a decent job introducing everybody, and enough of the focus is on Clint to hold my attention as we get through those introductions.

Thunderbolts looks like it’s going to be light-hearted and fun. I can’t find it in my heart to throw much shade at a superhero team book that tries to, and ultimately succeeds at, being fun.
