Hickman in charge of a large-scale cosmic event? This will not be anything less than stellar.

This may just be the event I've been waiting for since SCW.

Yeah, Marvel hasn't had a great large-scale event since Annihilation. I have a distinct feeling that Hickman will provide some much needed redemption for the company in that regard.

Imo, there is no one who writes a better cosmic storyline than him. His work on F4/FF and SHIELD was unparallelled.

Quan, kurpt are going to wet themselves!!

Quan already messaged me: "You fear Thanos". osheet

I like Chueng on art too. Only thing about it though, it reminds me of Copiel's superior art.

The pic sure looks good. Hope the story matches it.

hope its good

This should be awesome.

Interesting that Ex Nihilo is on the cover, wonder what his part will be...

I'm guessing Ex Nihilo will be helping out, Thanos would be a threat to him.

Ex Nihilo seems to humbly serve Captain Universe w/o any sort of contestation-- she is, for all intents and purposes, his God:

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15054968/Avengers_V5_003-Zone-023.jpg.html

Since Captain Universe is apparently going to partake in this event as well, she will likely summon Ex Nihilo to aid in the battle against Thanos. Given that all of the other 'shards' on the teaser cover depict heroes, I doubt Ex Nihilo will be used as a co-villain. /shrug

Wonder how many times Thor is going to get knocked out in this one.

Hopefully its not a company wide crossover which affects all the books. If so, ill pass.

Sounds good I trust Hickman with cosmic stuff, but Thanos is one boring villain if you ask me.

Magus >>> Thanos

Is that normal Spidey or Octo Spidey on the cover?

Possibly Octo Spidey going by the release date.

Maybe. Thanos was also seen in New Avengers #3 as one of the cosmic beings sensing the infinity guantlet being reassembled. But the Infinity event is happening in like May or something so maybe its too soon to have him be in the book...or is it?

hmm Thanos has a slightly altered look.

The armour in that picture has got the DcNu look going on.

I wonder if the costume change is permanent.

Looks a little more robotic. Like the movie version a bit.

Looks like crap, but then again, pretty much all modern versions of Thanos look crappy.

^ Hickman also said that New Avengers is going to be the most important book at Marvel for the next couple of years.

I like this cosmic stuff. Sounds like 2013 is going to be a good year at Marvel.

^I think future Franklin's warning to Black Bolt in Hickman's FF probably foreshadows this Infinity event.

Dollars to cents, it's probably going to follow the fallout of the Infinity Gems' destruction, along with exploring the time gem's vanishing, and introduce some previously unseen IG-related plot device.

god i hope it's not another thanos-gets-power-thanos-loses-power book. i've really been enjoying hickman's ff, but i am pretty sick of seeing thanos as a main villain. wish he would have chosen a different direction....

They also have yet to explain how he got out of the Cancerverse.

Look, I don't really want to sound judgemental, but by the same token you could avoid fan forums if you're so sick of fans complaining.

A part of the complaint isn't baseless either, he said that a story about Thanos getting a cosmic artifact and becoming omnipotent has been done several times, even as recently as last year. Thanos can be featured in a different kind of story, which has been the case several time in the past such as in the Thanos Imperative or in the Thanos mini.

Some Thanos's fans can also find that it's a character better use scarcily because it's abondance lessens his impact.

I'm not here to make excuses for Leonidas though, so I don't really have much investment in following this conversation uhuh

Anyway, in a 40 year span, you have Cosmic Cube, IG, and Hotu. Faux Cosmic Cube, and Faux Thanos if you count AA.

Doom in comparison has gotten Surfer's power, Watcher's power, Galactus' power twice, Beyonder's power, Cosmic Cube, I think he got the Cube in a novel MM likes to bring up, two IGs at the same time, almost stole Hyperstorm's power, etc. Nobody says two dicks about that. Hell, Red Skull has gotten the Cube like 3 times, and is about to become Onslaught.

They're geniuses, and their power on its own isn't enough to accomplish their goals. That's what they do, use other power. Doom wants to beat that bastard Richards, Red Skull wants to be a nazi and shit, and Thanos wants to have sex with his wiener.

Ultimate power, while being a plot device, can still be written well. The CC, and the IG were written incredibly well, and I found the HOTU to be very enjoyable. And if he does get Ultimo power in this series, it's written by Hickman, so...
Personally, I'd like to see him just smack shit up with his own power like Imperative, but at least the writer's good. Plus we have no idea what it's about yet.

The many empires he's conquered beg to differ.

Every single arc with Kang involves him running away from something at one point in time

Either after he's beaten. Ran away from something to get help. Or he just ran away because he got scurred.

We don't know what will happen in this arc. If he feels it is stupid or been done to death then simply show marvel by not supporting it.

It's simple. If you think a company does something you think is ridiculous or uninteresting then don't read it.

Maybe he's evil an will do it through piracy, that's a way of not supporting Marvel and still talking of the arc with enough knowledge of it not to have bias. Obviously, if you think the arc is decent, you buy it.

Otherwise your actions don't match your opinions either.

He seems to be a Thanos hater such as yourself. Bran pointed out many villains seek ultimate power but since Thanos has been so successful it seems to attract naysayers.

I'm a Thanos hater now? I guess that any one who doesn't overrate Thanos is a hater in your eyes. I've bought lots of Thanos's books because I love cosmic stories.

I think I covered the rest already in my other posts mmm

I'm really hyped for this. Hickman handling this event plus him overseeing the Avengers franchise is one the best moves Marvel could have done post AvX.

For FCBD there's going to be something related to this.

Some small spoiler news.


http://i39.tinypic.com/5e634o.jpg
http://i40.tinypic.com/35mpbf8.jpg

Thanos has five liutenants that serve as his right hand. Each is suppose to be unique and powerful. Thanos is back to his classical personification, a space conquering warlord. It seems that every world he conquers, he requires the world to pay tribute...in the form severed heads from the world's inhabitants. It looks like he's literally built his throne on top of the skulls of his tributes. The outrider assassin easily infiltrates Avengers and Shield base. Thanos is looking for something on Earth "near and dear" to his heart.

This is most likely the poster for Infinity or Cover, regardless it looks great

After reading the FCBD issue for this I'm intrigued if they'll even bother to explain why Thanos is back to conquering and such after he'd moved beyond all that, or whether that'll be ignored to keep Thanos in line with what's happening with the films..

I mean generally I trust Hickman, but everything so far points to Thanos back to being a one note alien warlord again.

EXCLUSIVE: Introducing the Generals of Marvel's "Infinity"

On Free Comic Book Day 2013, Marvel Comics released a first look into its upcoming summer event: "Infinity," by Jonathan Hickman< with art by Jim Cheung. Taking place in the far reaches of the galaxy, on a planet called Ahl-Agullo, the issue not only placed Thanos squarely in the game for the lead-up to "Infinity," but also introduced Corvus Glaive, a deadly lieutenant carrying out the will of the Mad Titan.

As it turns out, Glaive is only the first of five dangerous and lethal beings who serve Thanos as the Cull Obsidian. In a three-part special feature, CBR News spoke with Marvel Comics Executive Editor Tom Brevoort about "Infinity," Thanos and his high-ranking Black Order, with Brevoort sharing details on the designs and conception of the new villains making their debut in Hickman's summer event.

For our first installment, Brevoort covered the events of the "Infinity" FCBD issue, explaining exactly how it sets the stage for "Infinity" proper, the introduction of Corvus Glaive and the purpose of Thanos' lieutenants, looking at the structure of his scheme and when readers can expect to see more of the Mad Titan's master plan.

I just hope its good. Marvels events have been atrocious for quite some time. I think annihilation was the last really good event. At least with hickman we wont have to do deal with bendis aka the master of shit pacing.

As far as crossovers go, I find it a little annoying how little in scope many revert to(The phoenix avx became civil war part deux) . You would think that all these big events would bring in bigger players (who wouldnt want to see kang , doom, zemo,loki etc) yet everyone seems content to let these world destroying events happen when their asses are on the line as well. Its like all marvel villains have a "wait your turn" policy when it comes to crossovers.

He actually called on Leo saying "don't buy books you don't like", he didn't exactly said he didn't mind at all Thanos's going back into seeking power.

You see, the essence of the argument is that leonidas was a hater.

I assure you it's not. Leo was sick of Thanos as the main villain so I told him to not read it. I hope they go in a different direction. I'll read it ether way. I wasn't complaining I was simply saying what I preferred. Leo was whining.

You being unable to tell the difference is all too telling.

It's possible Thanos has outlived his usefulness as a villain and can't bring any new plots to the table, but I'm willing to give it a chance and wait and see on that one.

On the other hand, after reading the last few Avengers issues I'm getting a little concerned as to whether Hickman is the right guy to be handling this event. I'm starting to think we are going to get a bunch of issues where the characters wander about babbling pretentious pseudo-intellectual guff before nothing much really happens and then everything is quickly tied up at the end in some less than dramatic confrontation. Not holding my breath for something as good as Annihilation.

Anyone reading this 'Thanos Rising' shit?

Before this series is over , I feel we will see the return of Adam Warlock and Nova Prime, with new characters

Looks great.

Just hope it doesn't devolve into another story involving Thanos hunting down super-powered artifacts.
