Once, they were broken. Now, they're the world's last hope.

Aleksandrina Petrova never wanted a team. But after a botched mission, she's thrown together with Yelena Belova, Ava Starr, John Walker, and a strange man named Robert Reynolds-"Bob"-who shows up out of nowhere in a locked-down vault.

Their escape is chaos. SWAT teams. Gunfire. Sacrifice. Bob takes a bullet meant for the rest of them... only to rise again, completely unscathed. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine wastes no time turning him into something terrifying: The Sentry.

Dragged across deserts, kidnapped by Bucky Barnes, and weaponized as "evidence" to bring Valentina down, the team finally confronts her-only to face Bob at full power. They can't touch him. They barely survive. And when the Void inside Bob consumes New York, the Thunderbolts are the only ones standing between humanity and annihilation.

They save the day. Valentina takes the credit. And just like that, the world hails them as "The New Avengers."

Now based in the old Avengers Tower, the misfit team learns what it means to live, fight, and heal together. Yelena leads without question, John insists on cooking dinner every night, Ava never uses doors, Alexei hoards Pop-Tarts like treasure, Bucky struggles to adapt to a world that's moved on without him, and Bob quietly hides from his own power with a cup of cocoa in hand.

They're messy. They're traumatized. They're dysfunctional.
But somehow... they're a family.

And when the next threat comes, this family of anti-heroes will have to decide:
Are they Valentina's pawns... or the world's only hope?
