Looks like Thanos is coming back...

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.

That being said this is just stupid.

I mean they will always find a way to bring him back.

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.

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'd call that a coincidence 😄

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".

DnA Thanos was bad. DnA in general, IMO was good.

And they have a right to be bitchy.

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.

Conquest and WOK were shit, two shit and one good event isnt that great. He wasnt dead only trapped, and that just goes to show DnA's shit writing, as if Thanos cant teleport across realitys/timelines(for f*uck sake he's been doing that since early appearances)

Where'd you get 4 months from anyway? Thanos hasn't appeared in a comic, or even been announced to be in a specific comic to my knowledge.

IMO WoK and Conquest were good. would have died 4 months ago.

Thing is, now what? As a villain Thanos has accomplished the ultimate. You can't get any higher then the hotu etc.

I agree there really isn't anywhere higher than that to go for him. He has to go in a different direction I don't want him acquiring ultimate plot devices he's been there and done that.

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.

Kang, but don't tell anyone 😉

Wasn't TI #6 in december? He would have died 4 months ago.

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.
