Tom Brevoorts the editor of the Avengers Assemble book and he had some stuff to say about Thanos' return:

"Since we designed AVENGERS ASSEMBLE to be a nice, easy entry point for people coming out of the film, for all that it still exists within our current Marvel Universe, it was a bit of a no-brainer to have Thanos be the villains behind our first storyline,” shares Marvel Senior VP – Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. “More than simply bringing him back, this storyline will be setting him up for bigger things that are just off on the horizon—it’s the first step towards something we’ve been working on behind the scenes for a while now"
“He’s a villain of such power and stature that he can give the Avengers a fight all by himself,” he notes. “There’s no such thing as a small Thanos story—he operates on an intergalactic scale. And he’s a fascinating, nuanced character, with passions and neuroses all his own that make him stand apart as an individual, and not just a cookie-cutter moustache-twirler.”

Well, my first impression is that Thanos return retarded out of the Cancerverse.
"You mess with with my plans!? Well, I'll SMASH YOUR PUNY PLANET for this! Gnark gnark gnark gnark!"

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)
