The First Ten: Thunderbolts (1997)

8. “Songbird: Alone!”

Writers: Kurt Busiek & Roger Stern
Artist: Mark Bagley

The turn around of the Thunderbolts continues here! Songbird really gets time to shine in this bit and she’s pretty clearly the Thunderbolt who’s the quickest to embrace being a hero.

And I’d argue she’s the one who’s most definitively a hero still! I adore Songbird and I think she’s probably Busiek’s favorite Thunderbolt as well, given how much development she gets throughout the series. Also, I love Bagley’s designs for this series. Atlas and Songbird in particular, but the rest are pretty great as well. And this issue gives us another design I love when Fixer AKA Techno uploads his mind into a robot body.

This isn’t the final Techno design but that one will be one of my favorites of Bagley’s designs. His cold red eyes, his approximation of his old body, his color scheme, and especially his size. Techno is like eight feet tall and it makes him a quiet menace that is just waiting to go off.
