So Brevoort confirms it. So that begs the question. Will Nova and Starlord follow? How'd he escape the fault? Let the speculation begin!

I... Don't... Care

Johnny Storm will be back in June!

Wow

More and more respect lost for marvel

Well of course he's coming back. They need to make good on their "kill a major character every so often" promise, and Thanos is a major enough character to qualify but without a wide fanbase to piss off if they off him again. :3

i will buy at least the first issue

hoping its good

As long as that shit DnA dont write him i dont mind.

Damn, they need to cool their jets with Thanos. Cripes.

The more cosmic stories the better, as long as they're written well.

lmao. Phenominal indeed. Thanos did a 180 and turned into a whiny pussy. The characterization was so terrible that it turned even Quasar into a pussy. They need to remove DnA off the cosmic scene stat and put Slott or Parker on.

As for Thanos return, it better not be about him wanting to destroy the universe because he wants revenge. Where's Giffin to fix this mess?

DnA have done good stuff for the cosmic scene, Thanos being probably the character who got the shaft the most in their takes. They should've left him alone, but again, it's a fan favorite.

DnA do a great job when they have time to flesh out a storyline. But when you have to trim the story into cliffnotes, they don't do so well. TI was meant to be a larger story, which Dan Abnett alluded to a while back.

Agree about Giffen. But he's prolly never coming back to Marvel.

DnA peaked at Annihilation.

^^^ Not really. They were just balanced out by a great- and knowledgeable- editor and a supremely talented writer in Keith Giffen. Bill Roseman was good, but he was no Andy Schmit.

DnA's strength is in high concept sci-fi and Lovecraftian horror themes. They do fine when they are focused on one or two projects ie; Nova and Gotg. But not so well when juggling too many balls I.e. Nova, gotg, WOK, TI, Annihilators, Heroes for hire, new mutants, Infestation etc.

DnA didn't really peaked at Annihilation. They were never really event writers. Conquest, WOK, and TI are all mediocre or horrible. They have a talent for generating awesome ideas and concepts but their execution of most event storyline tend to be nothing exciting. Nova was great. GOTG was even better as DnA touched upon everything from the Badoon, Warlock/Magus/UCT future, 31st Century GOTG, and even the Emperor Vulcan storyline. Bringing in the Phalanx and Ultron in as the villains of Conquest and Warlock as a champion of life along with Technarchary Warlock made it epic. The writing, however, was less than stellar tho. And now Annihilators teaming up with a Space Knight to fight the Dire Wraiths, you get the point. Book one's writing was just poor.

They peaked at around WOK.

Your not digging Annihilators huh?

They can work one or two projects. Add in a third and it gets wobbly. Add in a forth and all hell breaks loose. Right now they're doing Annihilators, Heroes for hire, New Mutants and the Infestation event for IDW. Not to mention they just finished Ironman/Thor, which was also terrible.

I'd say A&L peaked at GotG. Right when Kang appeared.

The quality of gotg never waned though. At least not imo. Nova waned after WOK, both in art and story. The only reason I continued to buy it at that point was just to support Marvel cosmic. In particular Nova, whom I didn't want to see disappear into obscurity for another decade or so.

You're right, the Guardians held quite up during their run. I'd agree with A&L giving weak events, but to be fair events are kind of weaksauce most of the time, I was just glad to get the focus in less popular characters such as the Inhumans.

Personaly id like to see Hickman write Thanos or even Peter David.

I'm digging the concept, not the dialog. And yeah, who thought it was a good idea to put them on multiple books like this? Eventually their gonna sound cliche when they have so many characters saying the same thing. Annihilators have atleast 8 characters with different personalities. Add in the characters of those other books and how in the world does Marvel think that these two would accurately write all these different personalities and not make it sound the same. :/

And that's the whole problem with Thanos. He's accomplished what every villain could only dream of. At first he gained the Cosmic Cube which was near universal in power during it's time. Then came the Infinity Gauntlet which was far greater in scope. The final straw came with The End where he destroys everything; the poor guy became redundant. The best thing was when Starlin changed Thanos into an anti-hero and Giffen finishing up Starlin's work in Annihilation.

How many times can a guy become God or desire to destroy the universe without it becoming silly? But yeah, Hickman should get a shot. Heck, I think some of the other writers should be given a shot at picking the cosmic character of their choice and write a 3 book mini. Best selling book should get an on-going.

I love DnA, but I have to agree with this: in Thanos Imperative, Thanos was portrayed like a retarded emo. They give him respect by showing how powerful he was, but we were far from the "Ice cold mother****er" of Starlin.

I like Giffen's Thanos better. Aside from him being pissed about coming back to life I never thought DnA captured the essence of the character quite right.

The character portrayal wasn't bad. He was given everything he wanted and had it taken away so for the circumstances this change was justified. He still outsmarted Mar-vell and did this on his own without telling anyone so even while pissed he still was on his game. Him still not being to go to death sent him over the edge after he once again completed the mission so of course he flipped. The man is in love people.

He was killed off for stupid reason's so I can't say i'm unhappy about him making a permanent return.

So long as it's not Bendis handling him...

Originally posted by King Kandy

Are you talking about Annihilation or TI? His Annihilation death was not for a stupid reason. In fact, his death was tragic since he was never really on Annihilus' side at all. Drax looked passed and killed him based on past sins and fulfilling a task he was never able too in past incarnations. Death accepted him and welcomed him because Thanos fought to preserve not just life, but death in the universe. Giffen's Thanos mini reveals this bit when Death remarked that all he had ever done was try to bring death to the universe as a gift to her but how does death exist if their is no life in the universe? Essentially this time Thanos died a heroic death, doing what Mistress Death had sought him out for while Drax finally fulfilled his role. Damn great way for Drax and Thanos conflict to conclude.

but what has it been? 4 months? They need to wait longer. DnA's take on Thanos was f*cking awfull, if you had read all Thanos comic history you would know that. Giffen established that Thanos no longer chased death for her love and wasnt all emo about it, plus he had Death say Death/killing isnt what she wants from Thanos anymore.

They're doing it with Quasar in Annihilators. Taking him back to his self doubting low self esteem days. Dude's past that phase now lol!

Again?

It's not like Thanos was ever killed anyway. Did everyone expect him to stay trapped in another universe forever?

As long as they don't make it a 'huge deal' I don't see a problem. It's not like almost every other Marvel villian doesn't have more appearances than him. Doom might as well have his own monthly.

TBH it seems most are just bitching that Thanos may be coming back. If you look at the last few cosmic events with and without him, its safe to say to far better stories featured him heavily (TI and Annhilation) and the poor ones didn't (Conquest and WOK).

Wheather you like or dislike him, its clear he brings something to the story.

I mean its obvious thanos was not going to stay dead. I don't think anyone expected him to be. But 4 months? Really? Thats just, IMO, waaaaaaaaaay too small a margin of "dead time".

Simple fact without Thanos in the cosmic scene, it just isnt that good. Not that many major villains/antiheros to choose from and none of them have the rep Thanos does unless you go to Galactus and above and as of late G gets jobbed more than Rhino.

I've never thought about it much beforehand until now, but Thanos is the villain that won. He had the cosmics by the balls and conquered the damned universe. Is there any other mainstream comic villain that can make that claim?

No, that's why he gave up that road after the Infinity Gauntlet. The HOTI just feel into his hand where he accomplished what he couldn't with the IG - beat LT.

He was never stated to have died, in fact, they said in the comic that their intent was to trap him. If anything, a year is way too long to be away because you're trapped, hell 4 months is too.

I know you hate Thanos, but try to think this through.

Yeah. To be honest, that shouldn't trap Nova or Thanos as both have shown extra dimensional travel capacity with their own tech/abilities.

But it'll probably show a flashback where they both fight, Thanos comes to his senses, and then they'll travel back to 616.
My guess anyway.

I want them to go about bringing Thanos back in a more elaborate way.

Like have Thanos create a plan where he uses the same technology he used on Galactus during annihilation. Have him turn the weakened Many-Angled-Ones into a source of energy, milk them of their energy and use the energy extracted from them in order to fill the empty cosmic cube. Then once the cosmic cube has enough energy, use it to escape. Something that's cool.

Or he could just teleport back

Do you have problems?
1: I doubt it will be another 8 months before the comic about thanos is out
2: Still 4 months for someone that was stated to supposed to be trapped there forever is too short IMO.
3: I do not hate thanos. he is my 3rd favorite character.

Yeah there'd be a fight, but Thanos would be the only one swinging lol! Nova's bucket head would be dangling.

Real talk though, Thanos can retire on top like Michael Jordan. It's time for a new ultimate villain. Annihilus written properly fit that bill pretty good. Personally I'd like to see Cython fully unleashed to just wreck havoc on the MU. Give him a few badass avatars, I mean just totally corrupted to the point where there's no redemption other then death. I want real stakes, and real consequences. None of that Chaos war bs. Maybe have DnA collaborate with Mark Waid since he's available. Phuck that'd be dope.

I don't. It takes a while to create events. Hell, his statement doesn't even mean anyone is working on a Thanos appearance. It could possibly be longer than a year.
It's still guaranteed to be longer than 4 months though, so there's that.

It's only four months since the announcement... that means nothing. So does being trapped in another universe. Jesus, if he stayed trapped in another universe, people would be complaining and laughing at him being stuck there for so long. Everyone knew he was coming back as soon as they read that when TI #6 came out... well, the people who read it anyway.

Everyone of your posts about Thanos is arguing against him. The "hate everything about Thanos but I love the character" isn't fooling anybody. That's the same angle the "I'm not racist but..." people use.

Do you have problems though? Previously complaining about Thanos coming back from the "dead", when that was never the case? Now we're moving on to him coming back from being "trapped"? Sounds like you just don't want your third favorite character to appear at all.

Throw him in some events, etc. Give the actual consistent villians the chance to be villains.

The guy's only been an actual villain in one event afterall since his first revival.

But ya, even new characters written well into big ass villains wouldn't be too bad. Old characters like Annihilus will likely get the spotlight.

It takes quite a few months for events that are announced to come out, and those are pretty much finished when they're announced. No Thanos event has been announced. No Thanos writer has been announced. No specifics about Thanos coming back have been announced. So ya, 8 more months at the minimum sounds about right to me.

COMIKS R TAEK LONG TO CUM OUT AFTER THEY ALL BE ANNOUNCED. TANOS APPEARANCE NOT ACTUALLY ANOUNCED. THNOS R BE APPEARING IN LONG TIEM.
Get it?

More of the fact that you had to add in a character being a cooler. I wouldn't be saying that about Surfer. I doubt Rage would even post something like that if Thor was matched against Hercules.
Just typical stuff though from you that I've seen in Thanos threads. Don't ask me what threads I've been reading is all I'm saying with posts like that. Learn what an example is while you're at it.

So, since we know -or think we know- that *something* is in the works for a Thanos return, what happens with Nova and Starlord? Better yet, here's a question that I posed to some of you VIA pm already. *If* Nova does return, what would you like to see done with the character good, bad or indifferent?

Better yet, here's a question that I posed to some of you VIA pm already. *If* Nova does return, what would you like to see done with the character good, bad or indifferent? IMO one of two things will happen

1: Thanos will kill star-lord and Nova then escape by himself
or
2: Quill subdued thanos, into some sort of coma, with the CC and he and Nova survived, then the cancerverse is re-opened (which IMO the most likely explanation for that will be Doctor Dredd from Annihilators cutting into the cancerverse) and Star-Lord and Nova will escape but thanos will awaken due to the cancerverse opening and come back(or something along those lines)

As for the characters I like the DnA writing of him. Wouldn't like to see much changed. Mabye go up against some heavy hitters and pull some good wins.

Oh, and bring Black Bolt Back sneer!

Bendis is a complete moron, i wonder what half assed reason he'll use for Thanos being involved in this crapfest of a story.

Keep him dead.

Thanos prolly went to the astral plane to find a way out of the cancerverse I'd wager.

I wish Bendis would stop shitting all over Brian K Vaughan and leave the Hood alone.

Money on Thanos being the big bad guy in the new Avengers book by Bendis (Movie induced comic and all, and the big bad had the same speech bubbles as Strange did when he was pretending to be Thanos in the Avengers arc with the gems and the Hood)

hope its done right

Oh God, don't water him down!

I wouldn't be surprised if the secret bad guy in the Avengers Assembled is actually Thanos. There was an online article that I read that detailed why it's likely to be Thanos, but the article mysteriously got taken down recently:

http://multiversitycomics.com/2012/04/speculation-central-big-bad-of-avengers.html

If you google it the article is still listed/linked and has a brief description under it. But the link itself leads to a "Not Found" page. Very suspicious.

Here's the summary of what I remember reading from the article, and why Thanos is likely the secret bad guy in Avengers Assembled:

1. The mysterious bad guy in Avengers Assembled gives a speech about "cosmic balance" and what not, which is very similar to the speech Strange's Thanos illusion gave to the Hood who also mentions "cosmic balance" in his speech.

2. The speech bubble style of the secret bad guy is identical to the speech bubble of the one used when Strange was pretending to be Thanos. (Someone mentioned this earlier)

3. The Zodiac in the Avengers Assembled are collection really powerful artifacts, one of which includes the ultimate nullifier. Anyone who's familiar with Thanos knows collecting powerful artifacts is kind of one of his hobbies.

4. The Avengers Assembled book is geared toward people who have watched the movies, and for anyone who's watched the recent movie, having Thanos introduced makes sense.

5. The fact that the article mysterious got taken down makes things even more suspect. I'm not one for conspiracies, but I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel contacted the author and asked him to take it down.

Very interesting.

Bendis Thanos...lol

"I'm here for Death."

"What?"

"Death, I am here for her as her consort."

"You mean Death Death?"

"Yes." *Thanos grin*

Sounds about right.

Oh dear.

Thanos will more than likely be the villain in Avengers 2.

I am hoping that the Avengers don't defeat Thanos because Thanos is just too powerful and grand to get beaten by a handful of Avengers.

Like someone else said, please don't water Thanos down.

Thanos has the power the beat Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America and Hawkeye in minutes.

There's also the possibility that everything I listed is pure coincidence and Thanos isn't the secret baddy in Avengers Assemble. On one hand, I want Thanos to be back, but on the other hand I don't really like the idea of Thanos being written by Bendis.

Me too bro, me too.

If Bendis writes Thanos il track him down and pummel him like Hulk did to Loki.

Kill him plz. And its not just what he may/will do to Thanos, its what he does to every character he gets his hands on.

It really f*cks me off how he still is one of the main guys at Marvel

Thanos vs Luke Cage! Thanos getting his throat pierced by HE!

Is he skyfather level now? They keep upgrading him why dont they just give him a cosmic cube as a plaything already?

Uh oh Thanos under Bendis, Im sure the Thanos fans are nervous

What horrible dialogue haha

"Thanos, Warrior of Death"

facepalm

Looks like one of those Rich Boy gifs...

fear

Right!! anyone know where Bendis lives?

Oh Lord...
Does one knows how he got out of the Cancerverse?

I bet it's a malfunctioning Thanosi... or it will at least be retconned to one later

Starlin will suddenly come back.

Oh Lord, please.

He has to take the wheel over Bendis.

Yeah, it's as if he completely forgot about everything that happened in TI, and had a complete personality overhaul. I doubt Bendis will even touch on how he escaped from the Cancerverse or even reference TI.

Tbh Thanos has had an overhaul in the last few years.

Everything he was in from IG to Annihilation was pushing the point that he had given up his obsession with Death etc...

Then in TI and this all that will most likely be ignored...

Does Bendis do this kind of stuff specifically to piss off hardcore fans? Is it a ploy to sell copies?

I don't know, man.
I hate Spider-Man, but his Spider-Man: Blue was great.

I think that he just can't handle "events", or bigger character. He can do both masterpiece, and masterpiece of shit (Ultimates 3, Ultimatum, etc)

So Thanos is gonna mindrape Hulk into attacking the Avengers, eh?

It looks like it, unless Marvels intentionally trying to mislead us.

No, Thanos hires the Hulk to take down the Avengers.

What I want to know is: what does Rage thinks of this covert?

Because, the way I see it, Thor isn't at his best on this!

Cover art can be quite deceptive and misleading. This cover was a prime example:
http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/11853273_127789-3092-109939-1-uncanny-x-men-the_super.jpg


...Or Hulk really WILL tool Thor and lift Mjolnir. Don't care either way, tbh.

I wonder how Drax came back to life.

And why Peter Quill is blonde and wearing a costume from 20 years ago...

Nice find.

Though, tbh, I don't really buy into the following:



Generally, so long as the books are good, fans love cosmic arcs and titles. I, for one, don't feel this need to have to personally relate to every single character I read about in order to enjoy the stories they're in. Silver Surfer, for example...I have virtually nothing in common with Norrin on any level. Heck, even Thor, my favorite super hero in Marvel, I don't really "identify" with outside of some of the family issues he's had.

As far as Bendis goes, there's no secret he's much more in his element dealing with street level stories.

Where the hell is Nova?

Anyway, I'm scared of this. At first look, it's aweome, but it's probably a trap, there's a landmine burried under the good stuff.
