An International Incident Shakes The Thunderbolts
Posted: 2008-02-01 Updated: 2008-02-01 12:09:59
In the wake of the Civil War and the nationwide adoption of the Superhero Registration act, heroes and villains alike are now working for the government. Enter the Thunderbolts - a fearful super-villain team forced to be the good guys. However, Radioactive Man, a citizen of China, and the Swordsman, who hails from Germany, are not American citizens. In a mind-blowing one shot, Thunderbolts: International Incident, the team is tasked with following the sadistic scientist Arnim Zola after an attack in Atlanta. The mission, however, involves going into a foreign country; something not in the Thunderbolts' contract. Radioactive Man and Swordsman will be faced with strenuous decisions. What do you do when a mission goes against the best interests of your home country? To whom does your allegiance truly belong?
Wrapped in a stunning cover by Marko Djurdjevic, THUNDERBOLTS: INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT is penned by the amazing Christos Gage (mastermind behind THUNDERBOLTS: BREAKING POINT and HOUSE OF M: AVENGERS) and is combined with the sensational art of Ben Oliver (ULTIMATE X-MEN).
Will Radioactive Man and Swordsman stand up for their team, their country, or will they go rogue? This fantastic one shot is perfect for readers new and old; this is the Thunderbolts special that can't be missed!
