Last week we received a barrage of mysterious teaser images from Marvel last week, and this week we are finally getting some enlightenment on what they meant. We ran the image of Elektra in a hot embrace with Punisher with the title Explosive. This week Marvel has clued us in and that clue is the Thunderbolts! Here’s what Marvel is saying:
This April, love AND betrayal are in the air as red-hot artist Phil Noto (Uncanny X-Force) joins superstar writer Daniel Way in Thunderbolts #7! As part of Marvel NOW!, Thunderbolts turns up the action and brutality, as the industry’s top creators join the top Super Heroes to deliver the best ongoing stories, great for new and lapsed readers alike!
The Marvel Universe’s deadliest strike team take on a legion of robot menaces as the Punisher, Deadpool, Red Hulk, Elektra and Venom, paint giant targets on their back! But when the leader of these weaponized Crimson Dynamos has close ties to someone on the team, everyone is a target! “The level of blowback leveled at the Thunderbolts will soon match the level of blowback occurring within the Thunderbolts,” said Daniel Way in an interview with Marvel.com. “After the events of issue #7 the CIA, in particular, will be more than concerned with their actions. Oh…and The Avengers.”
Dang Daniel Way, that’s a lot of leveling! I have to admit, I am really excited to see how this book plays out, this story sounds salacious! I’m also wondering what a new Thunderbolts title means to the Dark Avengers title, which if you’ll remember, was Thunderbolts until it changed to Dark Avengers last year.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
