Marvel Comics has moved into movies -- "Spider-Man," "Daredevil," etc. -- and now sets its sights on the sports world.
Beginning with issue No. 76, on newsstands and in comic-book specialty shops now, "Thunderbolts" begins a run that is part ultimate fighting championship, part boxing and part fight club. Those parts add up to an enjoyable book.
