Thanos: The Infinity Siblings is a feast for the eyes in its art and thought-provoking in writing.

Twists, turns, and surprises abound, The Infinity Siblings is destined to go down as an essential chapter in the Thanos saga. Read Full Review
Jim Starlin's take on "Thanos forced to work with Future Super-Thanos" is a lot subtler and more ambiguous than Donny Cates's. This story tangles Thanos, Eros, and Kang together in a time-travel mess that has wheels within wheels within wheels. It's cerebral and satisfying and it has solid art. It's rewarding if you buy into it, but it hides its merits pretty deep - it's a cold story.
Bizarrely was able to buy it for 99 cents on Comixology. It's worth more than that, but I feel like, aside from doing some interesting stuff with the rather reprehensible Eros, it covers a lot of ground we've seen before and also suffers from a few of Starlin's writing ticks. Still, no one writes Thanos better. And the art by Davis is what you might expect.
