Thunderbolts#138:After the completely awful last issue, new writer Jeff Parker starts his new run on the Thunderbolts by... doing absolutely nothing new with the team and letting his first issue become nothing but filler. This issue was completely disappointing and nothing Parker did with the team seemed to matter. The few interesting parts of the issue were of Ghost manipulating the team to his own ends, but I already knew that Ghost was awesome and manipulative. The issue has Ghost goading Mr. X into going on a killing spree along the Venezuelan border. The other Thunderbolts go after him, fighting ensues, blah blah blah. The art is fine, but the writing is just mediocre and uninteresting. I suggest staying away from the Thunderbolts until they finally begin their inevitable Civil War against each other.
