Marvel Universe Issue 5 Variant. Cover by Michael Ryan and Sean Parsons; Written by Fabian Nicieza and Michael Ryan The villain stands revealed in this series' shocking conclusion! Now, the only way to stop him lies with Iron Cross (whose last chance to atone for the sins of his people might require sacrificing all he believes in), the Mighty Destroyer (who is more interested in using the worldwide threat for his own goals than he is in stopping it), and Citizen V (whose actions reveal a shocking secret that will rock the V-Battalion ? and the Thunderbolts ? for months to come)! "THUNDERBOLTS has, in its long run, represented everything in Marvel Comics that didn't need fixing: stories with literally dozens of unexpected twists that artfully play with the Marvel Universe and some very good art. Saying CITIZEN V is more of the same is saying plenty." -Comics Buyer's Guide Cover price $2.99.
