Our host gladly tells you that the best parts of this episode are segments that do not involve him! Due to unforeseen circumstances, this episode almost did not make it to air. But the power of Phenomenal Pat Loika, Bold Backwards Dave, Magnificent Mike Sims, and Courageous Carlos Cordova is too mighty to fight!
It’s the episode our host would like to forget, but is glad he can’t thanks to segments like Bring ’em Back, Mighty Marvel Movie Minute, and the initial offering of Bring on the Bad Guys! We also hear from Carlos not once, but twice! Try to get through the new releases quickly, for sanity’s sake!

An International Incident Shakes The Thunderbolts
In the wake of the Civil War and the nationwide adoption of the Superhero Registration act, heroes and villains alike are now working for the government. Enter the Thunderbolts – a fearful super-villain team forced to be the good guys. However, Radioactive Man, a citizen of China, and the Swordsman, who hails from Germany, are not American citizens. In a mind-blowing one shot, Thunderbolts: International Incident, the team is tasked with following the sadistic scientist Arnim Zola after an attack in Atlanta. The mission, however, involves going into a foreign country; something not in the Thunderbolts’ contract. Radioactive Man and Swordsman will be faced with strenuous decisions. What do you do when a mission goes against the best interests of your home country? To whom does your allegiance truly belong?
Wrapped in a stunning cover by Marko Djurdjevic, Thunderbolts: International Incident is penned by the amazing Christos Gage (mastermind behind Thunderbolts: Breaking Point and House of M: Avengers) and is combined with the sensational art of Ben Oliver (Ultimate X-Men).
Will Radioactive Man and Swordsman stand up for their team, their country, or will they go rogue? This fantastic one shot is perfect for readers new and old; this is the Thunderbolts special that can’t be missed!
