This entire experience felt rushed and disjointed, exhibiting lazy art and storytelling. As a dedicated Thanos fanboy, I found myself questioning the purpose of this. While I generally try to appreciate most things to some extent, I couldn't overlook the shortcomings of this particular mini. My reviews usually lean towards a higher average, but this was undeniably subpar.

I'm willing to revisit all four issues to confirm my initial impression, but upon completing the fourth installment, the storyline appeared utterly nonsensical. It felt like listening to the incoherent ramblings of a gas station panhandler before ending abruptly and them asking for spare change.

On paper, the concept boasted cool elements like the new illuminati, Thanos versus Death, cosmic consequences, and the potential for a significant Marvel storyline. However, the execution across the four issues left much to be desired. It seems as though something must have transpired behind the scenes, possibly a pivot within Marvel's editorial decisions. The lackadaisical nature of this entire miniseries is perplexing. more
