It's not easy making someone as powerful and feared as Thanos feel like the underdog, but that's something Jeff Lemire and Mike Deodato have accomplished with this series. Read Full Review

Another good issue, though I didn't like it as much as the last. This is an interesting cast of characters, and I'm not sure where things are going with the Phoenix egg. Also, reading Lemire's final Marvel work is bittersweet, because they are losing what is likely their strongest writer very soon. Ah, cruel fate!

Thanos stays in Shi'ar captivity for like a hot minute before busting out. Thane and his pals get onto Terrax's ship and reveal their target: the Phoenix Force. Some strong (by his standards) artwork from Mike Deodato Jr makes up for some terribly weak writing by Jeff Lemire. Eros distracting Terrax should be an epically clever conversation; instead, it's so painfully ham-handed that it makes Terrax seem too stupid to fly a spaceship without adult supervision.
