Thunderbolts Cage Marvel Comics Books
Luke Cage, once convicted of a crime he did not commit, takes over the Thunderbolts. The Thunderbolts are a selected group of criminals working for the "good guys" with no promise of release. It could happen but no guarantees.The new group selected by Cage, also know as Power Man, is Ghost, a computer genius who has the ability to make himself insubstantial so he can pass through solid walls, stone, etc. He is a genius who hates the system; Juggernaut, the unstoppable man of Supermass, Moonstone, a woman who is a powerful fighter, quick to adapt, but with extreme identity issues and is extremely manipulative, Crossbones, an accomplished killer who once shot Captain America while working with a Nazi called the Red Skull & a creature called Man-Thing who can travel through time and space; he is grotesque looking and if you are afraid of him and he touches you, you burn.
The Thunderbolts are tasked to certain missions that regular forces are unable to be assigned to. They are a volatile group and they don't play well together.
Jeff Parker is the writer and Kev Walker is the artist; both up and coming in the graphic novel industry. Once you start reading the Thunderbolts, you are hooked. I've seen them go through many changes and now, under the command of Luke Cage, the Thunderbolts are better than ever. All the prisoners come from a super-max prison called The Raft, which is run by a paraplegic named John Walker, formerly the U.S. Agent, and he has an agenda of his own.
The Thunderbolts are all injected with nanites which can be triggered to paralyze them if they step out of control. But can some of them over ride the nanites?
A wild romp with an intricate plot and an extremely interesting saga.

Thunderbolts Cage Marvel Comics Books Reviews
This books sets up the new thunderbolts team, but is not much of a story. Hopefully leads to bigger and better things.
Thunderbolt has always been one of my favorite titles and it continues on in Thunderbolts Cage. In the ark of the Heroic Age, most of my favorite titles has gotten a bit softer to a almost PG stand point, but Thunderbolts retain it's cool edge, still shows both sides of the coin, Villain and Hero. Good read and great new team with a bunch of old favorites.
The usual suspects are changed as Luke Cage come onboard to lead a new team consisting Crossbones, Man-thing, Ghost and Juggernaut. The new status quo has the team mopping up the recent mega events "Siege " and "Dark Reign." Overall the team has yet to do much more in the last 2 years than set the table of players and serve as a crossover book/advertisement for other new characters (Agent of Atlas and Avenger Academy) and events (Siege and Dark Reign). Parker is an exceptional writer who is a great fit for Thunderbolts but lets hope he can pry the team from Marvel proper and have the team build an identity of their own.
Shuffle, shuffle. With Norman Osborn going down in ignominious flames, there's a new world order in the Marvel universe. The government has put Steve Rogers - the original Captain America - in charge of all affairs concerning the superhuman community. One fallout to the end of Osborn's Dark Reign is that the Thunderbolts program is left to twist in the wind. Rogers thinks he can salvage this program. The State Department intends to use the Thunderbolts only to clean up H.A.M.M.E.R.'s ugly messes (thanks again, Normy). But top cop Steve Rogers still believes that the villains can be reformed. But the program needs the right leader in place. Steve taps Luke Cage. I think this is friggin' brilliant.
If you know your Luke Cage history, you're already aware of his hard luck hero status, that he is an ex-con who was framed for a crime he didn't commit, and that in prison he got his powers when he volunteered for a science experiment. He also used to wear a tiara and a yellow silk shirt with a plunging neckline, but we won't go into that. Brian Michael Bendis has really done a bang up job on Luke Cage, to the extent that Cage is now one of the most relevant characters in Marvel today. Cage is street-savvy and comes off as real. With his power and swagger, he's the perfect choice to head up the Thunderbolts. I only wish writer Jeff Parker would throw us a bone and have Cage exclaim "Christmas!" once in a while.
THUNDERBOLTS CAGE collects the Thunderbolts short story from the ENTER THE HEROIC AGE one-shot and issues #144-147 of the THUNDERBOLTS comic book. The trade also features sketches and character designs by Kev Walker and a few cover variants.
Luke has got his job cut out for him. I won't go into who gets into his Thunderbolts crew, except to say that it's a mix of old and new faces. Personally, this bunch doesn't excite me. I'm in this just to see how Luke Cage is written in, this "bad guys as anti-heroes" premise being old hat by now (SUICIDE SQUAD will always be the watershed mark, and I think SECRET SIX is a better comic). I do like how Kev Walker handles the art, and Jeff Parker paces the story well. The ENTER THE HEROIC AGE segment really kicks things off; it's what convinced me to pick up THUNDERBOLTS. It has Luke Cage performing a bit of trickeration on the Raft. And you guys know, of course, that the Raft is the maximum security penitentiary that holds the world's most dangerous super-villains. It's where the Thunderbolts program is based out of. It's home for the scoundrels.
The action is generic. The Thunderbolts, under Cage's regime, get to round up some trolls left over from the Asgardian siege in Oklahoma. This engagement introduces a possible new member, except that she's sort of a cannibal, so we'll see. Next, the Thunderbolts are deployed to a cave in New Guinea to search for lost S.H.I.E.L.D. and U.N. units. The 'Bolts run into terrigen crystal mists, and it's no lame guess that the lost agents have been mutated and need to be put down. The 'Bolts return home to the Raft just in time for a blackout. The ensuing prison breakout treats us to respective scenes of asssownery from Luke Cage and new warden John Walker (formerly the U.S.Agent, now missing a bunch of limbs). You don't wanna ef with these guys.
I haven't even mentioned the most intriguing addition to the series, besides Luke himself. Hank Pym has been tasked with coming up with a new mode of transportation for the Thunderbolts. But instead of tooling around with the Quinjet or the Zeus, Hank chooses to think outside the box. What he comes up with involves a certain resident of the Everglades. It's a good choice, really, once the kinks had been worked out, and it's not like this guy's exactly swamped with work. Anyway, I'm on board with this series for now. I'm curious to see how long Luke Cage can out-clever his manipulative, homicidal, insane, absolutely undependable charges. Good times, yo.
3.5 out of 5 stars for THUNDERBOLTS CAGE.
