Thunderbolts is a Marvel comic book where former villains disguised themselves as new heroes.

Suicide Squad is a DC comic book where the government used supervillains for suicide mission with the promise that if they survived, they would get reduced sentences or pardons. And it was made of awesome.

I've never read Thunderbolts, but I have read Dark Avengers and I really enjoyed it, for what that is worth.

This is actually vote for me. Loved Ostrander's Suicide Squad back in the day but I stuck with Thunderbolts a lot longer And really dug Bagley's art and character designs.

The "reveal" at the end of Thunderbolts #1 was an amazingly well-kept secret.

It really was. Plus I've long had a soft spot for Zemo and the Masters of Evil. I voted Thunderbolts.

Ohhh, that last one sounds like the super dirty dozen.

Awesome crossover. Suicide Squad undercover, Thunderbolts trying to take them in under their guise as heroes. Criminals secretly doing good against heroes secretly doing bad.

I'd pay good money for that. Maybe even 12 issues' worth.

Thunderbolts. I though this was Bagley's best and I like Busiek. I never really got into Suicide Squad. The McDonnel art kept me away.

Got to go with the Suicide Squad here. Not only was Busiek's run much shorter than Ostrander's, but Ostrander was able to wrap the ending very very well, and close off an absolutely great title. He even managed to kill himself in the process.

He didn't kill himself; he killed Grant Morrison. :)

Amazing job keeping it a secret, probably impossible now. I recently thought how cool it would be if Marvel and DC did another crossover, kept it COMPLETELY secret and have the last panel in, lets say an Avengers book, be Superman. Just shock the hell out of people.

I liked it for a brief time when Geof Isherwood drew it, especially the Bronze Tiger.

I don't like Bronze Tiger without his tiger head. It's like having a John Constantine who isn't blonde.
