After two amazing trades by Warren Ellis, the reins of the Thunderbolts was handed over to Christos Gage. The first few issues collected in this trade were a bit shaky, but by the last story arc collected here (Running the Asylum), I was really enjoying the book.

The only thing I didn't like was that the book essentially leaves you without a real ending. In order to find out what happens, the reader really needs to pick up the Secret Invasion main event trade.

But other than that, I found this to be an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so. It was definitely better than the actual Secret Invasion main event in the first place. ( )

I really enjoyed this interation of Thunderbolts. Until this collection. Sharks were jumped, story lines didn't pay off, which sucks cuz the last little bit is pretty cool. ( )
