Jim Zub Just Pitched Another Thunderbolts Series And Needs Fan Support
Posted by Joshua Davison June 26, 2017 18 Comments
So, yours truly was being a casual fanboy this morning, tweeting at Jim Zub to obsess over his Thunderbolts book and asking if it will be returning after Secret Empire’s conclusion:
I was hoping for the best, even if I have kind of consigned myself to the fact that this particular series had been condemned to the axed pile.
However, showing a great deal of dedication to this series, Mr. Zub replied by informing me that he has submitted a pitch to Marvel! This of course does not mean that it’s a sure-fire thing, but it does give this Thunderbolts fanatic a good bit of hope for the future. It also shows that Zub is dedicated to the series and bringing it back, which is a good look in this industry:
He did request that people give the book support, and Matt Yackey said it would help if people email Marvel to request Thunderbolts‘ return. Mr. Zub gave a more direct approach and suggested that we all talk at Tom Brevoort to give the series a return. I definitely plan on trying both.
To add a little editorializing, since I can’t stop myself giving my opinions, this heartens this lover of the Thunderbolts and the Winter Soldier. After neither got an announced title with the 52 Marvel: Legacy announcement, I had worried that it will be a good while before the team or Bucky makes a return (and I still don’t know if that scene from Steve Rogers: Captain America was the latter’s death, given that explosions are about as lethal as punches in comic books).
I adored Jim Zub and Jon Malin’s Thunderbolts. I’ve read the team from every era, from the Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley early days, to the Fabian Nicieza New Thunderbolts, to the Warren Ellis/Rick Remender Norman Osborn era, Andy Diggle’s Dark Reign stuff, and Jeff Parker, Declan Shalvey, and Kev Walker’s fantastic Luke Cage era.
I love Thunderbolts, and Zub and Malin’s material definitely ranks among my favorite runs for the team. So I am definitely hoping that they will get the book back, and we can get some more awesome fight-the-power adventures with the Winter Soldier, Songbird, Mach X, Atlas, Jolt, Moonstone, and the Fixer.

I'd be fine bringing back Zub to write...get Malin as far as humanly possible from this or any other comic book...in fact, never let him pick up an artists pencil again

I love the Thunderbolts! But the most recent series wasn't very good. It's one of the few books Marvel cancelled that I was glad about. I loved how it had the original team but it was so focused on Winter Soldier that it didn't even feel like the Thunderbolts. So I'd love a continuation but keep the creative team away from it!

Marvel can solicit this with original numbering and a slew of variants. How have they passed on such an opportunity to change the industry again?!

I didn't care for the art and thus I passed on this series. And I have nearly all T-Bolts comics (I avoided the Ellis run and didn't buy the Thunderbolts-in-name-only series that preceded the most recent one).

It was a much better book than I would have expected. An art change might help- I didn't hate it, but a lot of our customers did.

I discovered the last series too late, and had a lot of fun with it. Wasn't a fan of the 90's-ish art but it had real potential.

This Suicide Squad rip-off jumped the shark after Warren Ellis finished up. Bendis ran it into the ground. I'm sorry but I don't see Winter Soldier as a cosmic assassin (taking over for Fury) or a team leader...he's the guy in the shadows.
Start a campaign to re-vive Zub's New Mutants run? You have my money.

It most definitely did not begin as a Suicide Squad rip-off (which is what Ellis turned it into for his tenure), but thanks for playing.

You've got one. U.S.Avengers. Roberto da Costa, formerly Sunspot, is Citizen V now. He doesn't wear a costume though.

I thought Malin was pretty great! The whole book I loved. Hope they buy the pitch.

Echoing what was said here... Zub's writing definitely deserved better than Malin on art.
