Marvel Replaces Thunderbolts with Dark Avengers



Marvel Comics has announced that they are officially replacing the ongoing "Thunderbolts" book with a new title called "Dark Avengers" but retains the original numbering for the book.



The new "soft relaunch" will still be written by Thunderbolts team composed of writer Jeff Parker together with the rotating team of artists Declan Shalvey and Kev Walker.

The book will still show Luke Cage as the team leader and will now be taking over the Dark Avengers team that Norman Osborn brought together during the last story arc of Brian Michael Bendis "New Avengers" and "Avengers" books.

If you're wondering what the heck happened to the former Green Goblin and former Director of H.A.M.M.E.R. you'd be glad to know that he was transformed into a "Super Adaptoid" and later landed in a deep coma after absorbing ALL the powers of the Avengers including the special alien DNA coming from The Protector aka Marvel Boy.

Expect the New Dark Avengers to make an appearance in Thunderbolts # 175 which is going to be retitled as Thunderbolts # 175.
