Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, Vol. 1

Thunderbolt finally makes its way to the US hot off the heels of the animated adaptation. The book itself is a bit larger than older Gundam mangas and has some nice glossy, colored pages scattered sparingly. Not much for extras aside from some nice illustrations in the beginning. The story takes place in late 0079 where the heavily contested Thunderbolt Sector is being protected by Zeon snipers call the Living Dead Division; a group made up of amputee MS pilots. Their enemies are the Federation forces backed by the Moore Brotherhood who are trying to take over the sector to cut off Zeon supply lines. Io Fleming is the top Feddie pilot and he goes up against Darryl Lorenz and his sniper team. After a devastating loss to Io, Darryl makes it his mission to take down the jazz-loving pilot. But the Moore Brotherhood supplies Io with a prototype Full Armor Gundam to help him take the sector!Overall a great start to the story and it fleshes out the characters much more than the anime adaptation does. We get to see a unique take on MS designs and lots of neat details for world-building within the story. Overall a very enjoyable manga and I can’t wait to dive into the rest!

It's a great story that I can't wait to finish it came very quickly and in almost perfect condition!

Seen the anime first, didnt realize there was a manga. This was just as compelling, if not more engaging in the storyline.

Good gundam series, you really feel the tension and the damages of the war. What's interesting is that you follow both sides equally, without a "good guy" and a "bad guy".

Entretenido, sirve para ampliar la visión que uno tiene sobre los personajes si es que ven antes las ovas. En cuanto a tiempos de entrega, pues llego antes de lo esperado, uno que otro detalle en el lomo y ralladura en la portada, pero es algo mínimo.
