Like Lightning... A New Thunderbolts Team Strikes Down On The Marvel Universe!

Whoa Purple Girl is back, man that's pretty awesome to see,

I might read this, seems like a interesting cast of characters, The new guy seems a bit uninspired though and looks like some new Hercules, I know a ton of people are not super into Monica rocking the Blue Marvel vest, but I'm a fan, but overall mostly pumped to see Kara back.

She started wearing the coat alongside the rest of Nextwave, so there's a parody element in that. But then it just stuck. As for this costume, I think it would look better without the vest, but I have to admit I find this detail cute since it looks very similar to Blue Marvel's own vest, and he's Monica's boyfriend. So at least it serves a narrative purpose.

I like the nod to Blue Marvel

I could never understand why they insist on putting Photon in a coat or jacket. Its like back in the 90s when some of these guys thought bomber jackets were cool, and decided the Fantastic Four should have them....including the Human Torch.

I hate to say this (cuz I'm an old curmudgeon) but other than Hawkeye and Photon I have no clue who these people are. Is that America Chavez and 3 new characters? I'm so confused.

America Chavez, Power Man (who has been around for over a decade now and was trained by Iron Fist) and Persuasion (from way back in Alpha Flight Vol.1 #42 I think and is Purple Man's daughter) are "old" characters. It even says it in the summary that Gutsen Glory is the only new character.

I have to admit that wasn't the team I was expecting. At least it doesn't seem to be a comedy series like West Coast Avengers though I do still prefer the idea of a team of villains doing something redeeming. It's Hawkeye and Spectrum, so I'll certainly give it a read.
