Parental Advisory
Thanos #7 is a well paced update on the down fall of Thanos. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see what's next. The issue leaves off on an interesting cliff hanger that I think will grasp readers if this is their jumping on point. Like I said earlier, there isn't much dialogue but the panels do excellent work on telling you exactly what's going on in Thanos's mind. Where will the titan go next? What adventures await this new mortal Thanos? It's a whole new ball game with this character and I can't wait to see where it goes. Read Full Review
Thanos isn't the easiest character to turn into a protagonist, but Jeff Lemire has knocked the Mad Titan down several pegs and now we get to see him at rock bottom. More impressively, German Peralta's art carries most of the story by itself, as Thanos barely says a word through most of the issue. Read Full Review
Artwork by Germn Peralta and Rachelle Rosenberg show Thanos as he falls into despair in an entertaining way, even if some beats feel a bit too recognizable. Read Full Review
"Thanos" #7 takes a chance but doesn't commit to the interesting new direction. Read Full Review
A ruined Thanos hits rock bottom in the ruins of Titan. New art team Germán Peralta and Rachelle Rosenberg are handed an opportunity to shine thanks to a dialogue-light script that calls for exceptional visual storytelling. Unfortunately, despite their superb rendering, the tropes used to illustrate a humbled Thanos are so well-worn that you almost expect Charlie Chaplin to pop up. The ending and its resumption of the larger plot also suggest that whatever redemption story comes next is going to be a rather formulaic affair. I'm still eager to see how it takes shape under Germán Peralta's pen.
In this issue Thanos feels the weight of being mortal, and is sad. And he battles a giant rodent-monster. And is sad. I missed Deodato's art here, though Peralta does make the plot easy to follow in an issue that is mostly dialogue-free. So, yeah, it was alright.
While this issue really did not contain much in terms of plot it really shows how effective art can be in telling a story. Thanos has hit rock-bottom. Some of his expressions throughout this one are just heartbreaking. How will he survive? I am really curious to see what Lemire has planned as he has stated there is a definitive end to this series. Hopefully we get a little more story next issue.
This series had been so good until this issue.
