Overall, this comic gifts Thanos with profound gravitas and makes him seem indestructible – it's hard to believe that he'll die from an illness. He's such a grand and powerful being that it'd be underwhelming for him to die from such a cause, though he's ruined one of his best chances of finding a cure. The artwork is incredible from start to finish, giving off the feeling of a doom-and-gloom space adventure perfectly. Read Full Review

In my head space, Thanos has replaced Star Wars: Darth Vader as the go to place to find a meditation on the nature of cosmic villainy, and I really cant think of a greater compliment than that. If Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers want a narrative model sheet to find their voice and inspiration for the cinematic Thanos, they should look no further than Lemire and Deodatos cosmic masterpiece of brutality.

Anchored by some fun exchanges between father and son,Thanos#2 works great as a dark space opera. Jeff Lemire's voice for Thanos feels perfect for a being discovering a new vulnerability. The artwork by illustrator Mike Deodato and colorist Frank Martion is what gives the comic such a foreboding tone. There's always a sense of oncoming dread, and it givesThanosa dramatic weight that a story revolving around the Mad Titan deserves. Read Full Review

Issue #2 is another solid Thanos adventure. All the plot threads are winding toward each other. Action breaks up the less spectacular scenes of scheming and talking. It’s also nice to see Marvel do something that isn’t aimed at 13 year olds. I’m not against that tactic, per se, but they’ve been a mostly one-note company with their Disney-friendly tone lately. The stakes are often so low that we’re worried about the high school chemistry grades or love lives of Marvel’s teenage heroes. It’s refreshing to see Thanos mercilessly murder a few thousand innocent people every now and again. Read Full Review

Thanos has been dead before and has resurrected several times. Is this time any different? Only time will tell, but his family has a vested interest in his demise. I wouldn't be surprised if others from the Marvel U join the crusade. Read Full Review

I'm hoping this book was just a bridge from a really promising start to some compelling action, but I can't rate this this as high as I did the previous one. See you next month in hopes I was right. Read Full Review

Mike Deodato renders an imposing Thanos, but too often his characters and environments are stiff and lifeless. There's too much reliance on photo-reference and CG elements. Read Full Review

In his quest to save his life Thanos leaves destruction in his wake. This series looks good, and I like the team assembled to bring Thanos down, but the destroyer himself is really not that captivating a character here.
