Thunderbolts 124

Last post tonight.
Story- We start with Norman psychotically blowing away all the Skrull Spider-Men, which brings him back to sanity. The rest of the team also begins to turn the tide back into their favor. The Skrull's agree to Moonstone's deal, telling her they will give her South America for her assistance. However, Moonstone miscalculates, and it is revealed that Swordsman's sister, Andrea, actually isn't a Skrull. Moonstone takes a vicious energy blast from Andrea, which nearly kills her. Before Andrea can finish the job, Bullseye kills Andrea from behind. Moonstone and Bullseye agree to not rat out the other for their respective actions. In the end, Norman Osborn plays up to the media while he takes charge of the team and leads them against a Skrull that possesses the entire power set of the original Thunderbolts. After the Tbolts manage to defeat the Tbolt Skrull, Norman makes sure to feed the media with plenty of soundbites that make him look like a true American Hero.

Overall- This comic was OK, but not quite as good as the previous one. I don't really know why Andrea Strucker was brought back just to be killed within a matter of 2 issues, but oh well. Once again, Norman Osborn completely stole the show, with his witty remarks and moments of insanity. However, I hope that Marvel isn't planning to make Osborn run for President or something, because that was just done not too long ago over at DC comics with Lex Luthor. However, with what should be a massive amount of public support for Norman after Secret Invasion ends, it should be interesting to see in what way he uses it.
