It's old vs new as Thunderbolts take on Doctor Doom in miniseries Doomstrike

- STEPHEN JEWELL

AHEAD OF THEIR big-screen debut, the latest incarnation of Marvel's strike force team are set to meet their predecessors in new miniseries Thunderbolts: Doomstrike, which pits the Bucky Barnes-led current line-up against the original band of reformed super-criminals.

“The Thunderbolts are more than just a team - they’re a legacy,” says Jackson Lanzing, who is co-writing the five-parter with Collin Kelly for artist Tommaso Bianchi.

“Even though the cast has always rotated, it felt vital to us to return to some of those characters who have made such a huge impact - not just because they’re fan favourites but because their stories are far from over. As for the clash between the teams, it’s more than tension - it’s explosive conflict!
