"Writer Jeff Parker has lifted the lid on his plans for Marvel&amp;#039;s Thunderbolts series. According to the scribe, upcoming issues will see the undercover superhero team become embroiled in the events of the publisher&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Siege&amp;#039; plotline. In an interview with CBR, Parker said that he is relishing the opportunity to tie the series in with a major event. &amp;quot;I have to admit, it&amp;#039;s a blast to go large-scale. Plus I got to read all the secret stuff and bug Bendis,&amp;quot; he said. He went on to confirm that the &amp;#039;Siege&amp;#039; issues will reveal Norman Osborn&amp;#039;s motivations for founding the team and see them embark on a mission into Asgard. &amp;quot;This is where we see why Norman has set up a team so completely geared towards stealth and infiltration,&amp;quot; he added.  &amp;quot;He has a very key job for the team as the &amp;#039;Siege&amp;#039; goes down, and they have haul ass to Asgard to make it happen. This is the biggest thing they&amp;#039;ve been involved in as a team.&amp;quot; The &amp;#039;Siege&amp;#039; issues will be illustrated by series artists Miguel Sepulveda and Wellinton Alves. The tie-in begins with Thunderbolts #141 on February 24. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
