Red Skull was helping to raise Kobik before Stand Off
Once Stand Off ended and SHIELD and everyone else was trying to get their hands on her, Kobik ran away and went to Bucky for protection. She brought the Thunderbolts with her for some reason, she thinks they're her friends or something
By all indications Jim Zub is a decent writer, but this book is totally hamstrung by the art. Like, it's terrible, just terrible; dated and woefully unpolished.
I was actually kind of excited when Citizen V showed up in the ANAD Marvel teasers, and I was hopeful for the new Thunderbolts series, but this looks absolutely awful.
Zub is decent. I rag on Wayward a lot, but I do see the good in it and I do recognize Zub's talent (he just needs to pace that book better).
I think what gets me the most with the art is with the inking and the coloring. Everything feels so flat and dull looking. It's sad that this artist will stick around in the new Marvel NOW! That's what I Call Music 2.0.
Better inking and coloring would certainly make this better, but I think the problem really does start with the pencils. Like, no amount of polish is going to make the female figures on the cover and final page look natural, nor will it fix the fact that Kubik looks like a freakish nightmare chibi child.
In any case, this is literally one of the worst looking comics I've seen Marvel put out since I started reading. It's all but unreadable.
