THUNDERBOLTS

After 81 issues of the first series of Thunderbolts (1997), the series took a brief hiatus. One year later, the series returned in the form of New Thunderbolts with a new number 1, although the original numbering is also visible, making that issue #82 - #99 of the Thunderbolts series. The series returned to it's original numbering and name with issue #100. With issue #175, the cover/publishing title changed to Dark Avengers to reflect the change in team. The numbering of the original title and most of the cast however remained, as well as the creative team behind the comic.
