It's official – Marvel Comics' upcoming New Thunderbolts* series has been retitled New Avengers after Marvel Studios changed the Thunderbolts* film title to reveal the meaning of its mysterious asterisk.
The New Thunderbolts* title was announced in the lead up to the theatrical release of Thunderbolts*, with writer Sam Humphries and artist Ton Lima attached. Right from the jump, there was speculation that the comic could follow the same kind of twist as the movie – also renamed New Avengers – thanks to the inclusion of its own asterisk, and now that's fully confirmed.
