Wow. While it's cool to have another Venom on the Thunderbolts, this seems to fly in the face of everything the T-Bolts stood for in the past, except for ol' Normie's run as head of the team. I'm probably not going to read this, though the team looks fun.

For what it's worth, the Dark Avengers is still going to be the normal Thunderbolts title with bad guys being faced with the choice of being good guys. I've heard it will survive MAX.

I have no idea why they didn't just make the Rulk team Dark Avengers and leave Thunderbolts as Thundedrbolts.

You nailed it! That's what they should have named it...Marvel's nWo!

It's like the writers got together and asked, "Whose costumes color coordinate? All the people in black and red? Great! Coming next to the team will be Black Panther!"

Has nothing to do with the fact that Red's worked with all of them. No. Not at all. Lol

I get where everyones coming from. But this team still works. Regardless of the Thunderbolt's purpose orginally. We all know what most of them were doing serving on that team anyway. License to kill pretty much. Working out their sentence but doing what they wanted.

This team pretty much shows what its all about without the pretty flag painted in front of everyones face. Straight to the point. No deception.

However...I wanted to focus on the Clix aspect also. Lol. These pieces all work really well. That's what I wanted to point out

With the release almost upon us, I'd like to generate some more interest in team-building ideas for the new Thunderbolts. :D

well i saw your thread and figured i'd take my own shot at building this team heres what i got

IH #210 Red Hulk 155
IH #010 Punisher 65 (or any of the weapon swap guys obviously)
SI #084a Elektra 80
WK #M-4 Venom 159
GSX #103 Deadpool 140
total: 599

I want to throw the Thunderbolts TA on them badly. Lol
