    Celluloid verdict

    The strongest post-Endgame team-up that is not an Avengers title — Pugh and Stan carry a darker, funnier misfit energy that critics preferred to several louder Phase Five launches.

    What is Thunderbolts* about?

    A ragtag unit of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent, Ghost, and Taskmaster — is thrown together for a black-ops mission that turns into a reckoning with what the MCU does to people who were never meant to be Avengers.
