The TradeWaiters 108: “Thunderbolts Vol. 1: Justice, Like Lightning” Part 2 by Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, and Sal Buscema


This week we return to Thunderbolts Volume 1: Justice, Like Lightning, by Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, Sal Buscema, Peter David, Mike Deodato Jr., Steve Epting, and others. We look deeper into the main cast of the series, and propose a wish list of changes (thirty years too late). We’ll see henchmen doing hench things, learn about incels and doxxing before those terms existed, talk about mall gothery, and discuss the importance of metaphors for six year olds.
