Thunderbolts #3 Review

There's no nice way to say this, so let's just throw it out there and then we can start with the healing: Thunderbolts sucks. The first two issues were pretty lousy and this third one drags the series into an ocean of suck. It's bad, people. Really bad. It's not even so bad it's good, it's just plain ol' bad. If you know somebody who is reading this comic, reach out to them, it's probably a cry for help. Friends don't let friends read Thunderbolts.

First thing that sucks in this comic is the story. It's boring. There is no reason to care about what's happening and it makes zero sense for any of these characters. Why would Punisher agree to any of this? Doesn't Venom have better things to do? Elektra? Second thing that sucks in this book is that nobody does anything. They just stand around and talk. It's boring, which is the worst of all comic book crimes. The third thing that sucks in this book is everyone's stupid matching costumes. So weird and nonsensical.

As with the previous two issues, the art is also a real problem. This is not the book for Steve Dillon. It's not entirely his fault, because as stated in the second act of sucking, nothing happens. He just draws people talking pretty much the whole time. There's little to no detail in nearly every panel, even when there's high-tech weaponry involved. The whole thing just looks bland, which fits in with the nice sandwich of suck that is this book. These characters deserve better. These creators can do better (they have done better). We, the fans, deserve better. Thunderbolts sucks. That is all.
