PC POST #155: -PREVIEW- Thunderbolts #12 & Infinity!

posted by @Ivo

This new issue marks the beginning of a new era for Thunderbolts with Charles Soule as the driver of this truckload full of anti-heroes. This marks the return for this issue of Steve Dillon at the pencils. I'm really looking forward for this issue.

At the bottom of the page there is some hints about the Thunderbolts role in "Infinity".

THUNDERBOLTS #12

For the Infinity news Charles Soule opened up a little bit the veil of the upcoming issue #14 of Thunderbolts...

“Thunderbolt Ross made the same offer to each of these operatives,” says incoming writer Charles Soule. “‘I have a bunch of gamma-related messes in my past that I want to clean up, and I need a team to do it. If you do one for me, then we’ll do a mission for each of you.’”

Seasoned killers like Punisher, Elektra and Deadpool tow plenty of ghosts in their wake, haunted by missions gone awry, challenges unmet, and targets that got away. The chance to attack those pet projects with a robust vigilante squad proves hard to pass up. With Frank Castle’s name drawn from the proverbial hat, the mercenary points to a notorious New York crime family long due for eviction.

“When INFINITY happens, obviously all of [the Punisher’s] meticulous planning goes straight to hell,” Soule says.

Surfacing in lower Manhattan, the Thunderbolts need to navigate up to the Bronx.

“New York City traffic and transportation is bad enough at the best of times, and certainly getting up to the north end of the island in the middle of an alien invasion is no joke.”

Frank Castle refuses to abandon his quarry, even in the face of extraterrestrial strife or transit delays. Of course, gridlock represents only part of the problem. The crime family at the center of the mission slams down on the panic button. 

“The alien invasion forces them to bunker up, making the job all that much harder,” shares Soule.
