Avengers: Endgame is this week! The wait is almost over; can you believe it? My reads for this week will serve well to build up the hype, I hope. THE THEME: Just as Thanos was the focus of Infinity War, the comics I'll be reading today will center around the Mad Titan himself. I think it's important to remind ourselves of how terrifying and dangerous he is going into Endgame. THE COMICS: ![]() COSMIC POWERS #1 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Ron Marz Artist: Ron Lim - This comic is legitimately just Thanos curbing boredom by committing mass murder, dressing up like a samurai, wrecking shit with a sword, and looking for a fight worthy of his time. Jesus Christ. - Comixology link ![]() INFINITY #1 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Jonathan Hickman Artist: Jim Cheung - One of the biggest comic events Marvel put together this decade, featuring the debut of the Black Order, an impending showdown between the Avengers and the Builders, and teases of the return of Thanos. Exciting stuff. - Comixology link - Bonus comic: the FCBD 2013 Infinity comic, which you can read for FREE ![]() THANOS (2016–2018) #1 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Jeff Lemire Artist: Mike Deodato Jr. - After spending some time distracted by other events (including, but not limited to Civil War II), Thanos makes his return, much to the chagrin of Corvus Glaive and the Black Order. The comic teases a confrontation with his family, as well as presents a shocking revelation about the Mad Titan. - Comixology link ![]() THANOS (2016–2018) #13 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Donny Cates Artist: Geoff Shaw - This comic made a few headlines when it first came out, as it features Thanos, millions of years from now, reigning absolute, with nearly every hero dead at his feet. - Comixology link ![]() THANOS VS. HULK #1 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Jim Starlin Artist: Jim Starlin - Hulk gets caught in Pip the Troll's bullshit, and is now being held captive by Annihilus. Thanos is not pleased and tries to interfere. - Comixology link My hype for Endgame is at a fever pitch, and reading more stories of Thanos kicking ass has me excited for his inevitable rematch against the Avengers. It's still surreal to me that he's in a movie, let alone a household name that even the most casual of fans recognize. Additionally, some of these comics made me wish that the Black Order and Outriders in the MCU were as cool and/or fleshed out as they are in the comics, though.... PANEL OF THE WEEK: - end -
