Return of the original Thunderbolts?

[Marvel Boy]

Coming out of the upcoming 'Avengers Standoff' event, Marvel seems to be teasing the return of most, if not all, the original founding members of the Thunderbolts.

The post-Standoff Thunderbolts title is thoroughly enjoyable, I find. It's nice to have Moonstone, Fixer and Atlas back together, and throwing in the Winter Soldier is a good mix. Kobik's a little odd, but hell, she's a cosmic-cube-child!

I really enjoyed the post-Civil-War / Dark Reign / Jeff Parker / Dark Avengers period of the Thunderbolts, and felt that it ended well - although I'd love to know what became of a few of the Dark Avengers, post break-up! Standoff was a great platform to launch the new series from, which is most definitely doing a great job of hearkening back to the original Busiek/Perez run (that being said, it's at least positive that something good came out of Standoff!).

If you're not reading it, it's definitely worth a look. It brings Bucky's 'Man on the Wall' role back down to earth, after his questionable solo series where he went into space (I wasn't a fan of the art), and is genuinely a fun read.
