The NEW new Thunderbolts

[Doctor Doom]

So via CW #4 it seems we are getting...

A NEW team of New Thunderbolts. Now I'm going to assume that this takes place after the current arc, when the team is reformed by Melissa. Thus (SPOILERS) Zemo is dead, as basically said in Tbolts 105.

So this is my assumption:

The team is in ruins, and only Melissa and maybe one or two others are left. Why they couldn't have timed this to be pre-CW4 I don't know. Anyway, according to interviews it seems:

-The Tbolts are going to play a much bigger role in the MU
-The team will now be comprised of much more A or B-list villains acting as a hero team

From CW4, it appears the INITIAL team at least (though I'm certain there's more) is....

The Taskmaster
Venom (Mac Gargan)
Bullseye
Lady Deathstrike
Jack o' Lantern
Someone I don't recognize....
Songbird.

So. A new team, with a new place. Discuss how Marvel have butchered the Tbolts.

Arrrrgh!!!!!! They've destroyed my new favorite book that I only have one issue of. Those bastards!! I'll never read another Marvel book again. And I'll never buy those back issues to find out what's going on because it's all meaningless now. All of Marvel is meaningless. Once again, Arrrrrrgh!!!!

When did they kill Zemo. I missed that in #105.

[Doctor Doom]

in Tbolts 105, Zemo said he would die in the upcoming battle. Meanwhile, solicits say SONGBIRD has to reform the team after the upcoming arc. I'm just putting 2 and 2 together- maybe I'm coming up with 5.

No, I can see how you reached this assuption. I just re-read 105. Boy, I have to get previous issues to fully understand whats going on.
