Giffen did write the Thanos mini before Anni though.

I think the problem maybe with Thanos is he's kinda achieved what he wanted. I think he did actually succeed in conquering the universe, once you've done that what next?

we finally see thanos die however many times but, of course, no one can REALLY die there. we find out he....really never had a clue how to use the IG, or the cube, or....anything else, apparently??! way to demean those previous arcs marvel. But in a way, Thanos not understanding the IG or the cosmic cube is probably a better explanation of why he always loses when he has these artifacts than Starlin's lame "subconsciously wanted to lose" crap. And given Thanos never seems to really know what he is trying to achieve when he has these things, it makes some level of sense - he just plain doesn't know what the hell he is doing - they do call him the Mad Titan after all.

if that isn't stupid enough, then he fights alongside the guardians against the revengers for what? HOURS, and they can't win. then cap gets the cube and thanos is ALONE against them and he WINS in seconds, off panel??? holy f. and how the hell did he come through rider's gate with drax and quill when rider was keeping him in the cancerverse???
o. m. f'n. g.
Yeah a lot of that stuff didn't make much sense really. But given Thanos didn't fully understand how to use the cube, and Quill and Nova only in a rudimentary way, maybe Cap tried to use it for something too big and it just blew up in their faces leaving Thanos the only one standing. Would explain why it all happened so quickly.

Agreed, he is something of a mess at the moment. A few years break while they figure out what to do with him wouldn't hurt - they're doing it with Wolverine.

Bendis now will not only ruin our beloved cosmic team, but a new character will join them in their lameness.

^ Read some more on that, Bendis will be sharing the writing with other writers because Sam Humphries will step aboard for Issue #3.

Sam Humphries is literally the shittiest writer after Loeb.
Even Bendis is better than him.

You would think more people would realize this means "Secret Wars isn't wiping out everything."
Those books'll continue throughout and after SW.

Finished reading All new Invaders, they left some of the plots unfinished.

New Captain Marvel series announced (no shock there), but guess who also will be appearing.....Alpha Flight as the first line of defence
Damn random but I'll take it. Probably just a cameo or involve the Master and the Plodex
