Thunderbolts #2

In "Deceiving Appearances," the Thunderbolts find themselves caught in a high-stakes rescue mission when the Thinker’s android targets Franklin Richards, forcing the team to act fast. With the stakes rising, they’re presented with an unexpected offer: the Baxter Building as their new base. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life by Mark Bagley’s dynamic art—inked by Vince Russell and colored by Joe Rosas—this 1997 issue marks a pivotal moment in the team’s evolving identity, with a cover by Bagley and Russell that captures the tension perfectly.
