I said that after Age Of Ultron, I wouldn't buy anymore Marvel Crossovers/Events. I would wait until it's in TPB....but if Hickman is doing it, then's it's a first day purchase for me!

Hopefully it has a better ending than the last. The art is decent at least.

Art is total crap in that second pic. Doesn't even look like Thanos, especially the face.

Is it just an infinity gauntlet reboot? I didn't realize that comics only existed to sell movies now.

Down for all things Thanos! But i'm hoping that this has to do with more cosmic Marvel than just earth so i can see the freaking Annihilators again! Best. Team. Ever.

@ninjahulk...wth did i just read from you??
anyways...
We should have all seen this coming...they were setting up something big with this Thanos prequel comic and of course they would want to get his face on the shelves if they're going to use him as the main villain. Something tells me Marvel was a bit disappointed at how small the amount of people were who could recognize Thanos at the end of The Avengers. They seemed to have put a plan into action very quick to educate the masses of the badass that is Thanos. I for one don't mind..i love the character and i love that he brings out everyone for battle. Infinity gems, Avengers, X-Men, Inhumans, GOTG, other cosmic players, Jonathon Hickman, Jim Cheung?

....Hell Yea, im in...

@ComradGrey No, Now comics exist to make as much money as possible. Coherent storytelling as an art seems to be going the way of the dinosaurs.

Hope for the best

NOVA (RICH RIDER) PLEASE.

I think it makes sense to advertise for the next crossover before the previous (AoU) is even out, because Marvel is accelerating the shipping schedules for these things. By having a 12 part story come out in 3-4 weeks, you kind of have to be ahead of the advertising curve.

ninjahulk - 2/5/2013, 9:59 AM
@pheezmatic what i was saying since they will be bringing out dr.strange movie this will be a good opportunity to used him to bring the the other character from the other studios back to marvel this where you used strange and some how bring in warlock in this if they want him in it im old school infinity gauntlet was one the great marvel comic came out doing that time they need to do this the right way so far they are this could be the best thing to do i see what they are doing used thanos for phase 3 go out with a bang build thanos up until phase 3
