THUNDERBOLTS* | After Sam Wilson managed to publicly discredit them and legally block the use of the name "The New Avengers," the Thunderbolts find themselves on the verge of failure before they've even begun. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, a master of media manipulation, isn't about to let her investment go under. In a desperate and grotesquely ingenious move, she announces a new plan during a meeting at the tower: to divert attention from the scandal and gain public sympathy, two members of the team must fake a romantic relationship.
