The Thunderbolts have been divided between two worlds! Can they find their way back onto the road to redemption? Trapped on the ravaged Counter-Earth, Baron Zemo and his team of semi-reformed villains must choose between returning home or becoming the planet's unlikely champions! Meanwhile, Hawkeye and Songbird assemble a new crew to face the Masters of Evil! But will the Thunderbolts reunite only to fall apart? An encounter with the Avengers changes everything for the T-Bolts, and a new day will dawn - but not if Baron Strucker, the Purple Man and the Squadron Sinister have anything to say about it! Plus: The superhuman Civil War throws the team's heroic hopes into disarray! And when the cosmic Grandmaster strikes, can Zemo rise to the occasion - or is he forever tainted by his legacy of evil? Collecting THUNDERBOLTS (1997) #64-75 and #100-109, AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #1-6, NEW THUNDERBOLTS #1-18 and THUNDERBOLTS PRESENTS: ZEMO - BORN BETTER #1-4.
Since his start on the New Universe’s Psi-Force and backup stories in Classic X-Men, Fabian Nicieza has written most of Marvel’s major super-teams — including Alpha Flight, the Avengers, the New Warriors, the Thunderbolts and the X-Men. Together with artist Rob Liefeld, Nicieza transformed New Mutants into the blockbuster X-Force. The writer also tackled solo heroes ranging from Cable and Deadpool (later combined in Cable & Deadpool) to Gambit and Nomad. He edited Marvel’s Star imprint, contributed to multititle X-events like “X-Cutioner’s Song” and “Phalanx Covenant,” and wrote various “pre-modern” limited series such as Adventures of Captain America and Citizen V and the V-Battalion. Elsewhere, he has written both JLA and Justice League Adventures, The 99, Turok, X-Files, and others.
Kurt Busiek is perhaps most famous for his Eisner Award-winning collaboration with Alex Ross on Marvels, a fully painted classic that still amazes a quarter of a century later. Busiek launched Thunderbolts in the wake of “Heroes Reborn,” later writing Avengers and Iron Man upon the heroes’ return to the Marvel Universe. He teamed his two signature supergroups in the Avengers vs. Thunderbolts miniseries and spanned the history of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Avengers Forever. He has revisited the Modern Era’s early years in such titles as Amazing Fantasy, Iron Man: The Iron Age, Thor: Godstorm and Untold Tales of Spider-Man. At DC, he has written multiple Justice League and Superman titles, and even pitted the Avengers against the JLA in a blockbuster crossover. Busiek launched his own super-hero multiverse with his Astro City series, which he’s been writing since 1995. Busiek has returned to the world of Marvels for various projects, including curating Marvels Snapshots and writing the series The Marvels.
Patrick “Patch” Zircher got his start illustrating RPG-based comics for Eclipse and 3D comics for Blackthorne during the late 1980s, and drew Now Comics’ Green Hornet. He has been an artist in demand ever since. His notable Marvel credits across the decades include New Warriors, Venom: Along Came a Spider, Star Trek: Early Voyages, Iron Man: The Iron Age, Thunderbolts, Cable & Deadpool, Iron Man, Hulk, Mystery Men and Savage Avengers.
