And I tend to avoid plot summary when I can. And yet that exhilarating pace is what Jeff Parker is "doing" with the "Thunderbolts." But it's impossible to write about without resorting to plot summary, since it's all plot driven. The issues just pick the reader up and send him or her on a race to the finish, with the ground constantly shifting beneath our feet, and the finish line shifting further and further away. Parker's "Thunderbolts" comics race along so quickly they don't have time for any sort of meta-commentary or any clear declarations on exactly what it is they're doing, narratively. Or saying something about some theme or narrative technique. Parker's stories are rapid-fire plot spectacles, and most of the comics I tend to write about in this column are comics that are "doing something" with the medium or at least a particular genre.
