About the series
Jim Zub took the reins of this 12-issue Marvel series (2016–2017), steering a morally complex squad of operatives led by the Winter Soldier. With art from Jon Malin and Sean Izaakse, the team—including the Fixer, Abner Jenkins, and Erik Josten—navigates a gray world of black-ops missions and uneasy alliances. It’s a taut, action-driven run that redefines the Thunderbolts as a government-sanctioned strike force, leaning into the tension between redemption and ruthless pragmatism.
